Course content

1 section9 lectures1h 19m total length
  • Introduction to Reading Concrete Structural Drawing3:22
  • Read Slab Concrete Profile & Sections - Part 110:21
  • Read Slab Concrete Profile & Sections - Part 29:54

    Read slab concrete profiles and sections, including upturns, steps, varies sections, mass concrete, construction joints, and reinforcement details, with emphasis on inspection checks and matching plan data.

  • Read Slab Concrete Profile & Sections - Part 36:42

    Explore reading slab concrete profiles and sections, including temporary props, ports, reinforcement paths, drop panels, pavement slabs, and legends for accurate detailing.

  • Read Concrete Slab Profile
  • Read Reinforcement Plan - General Notes11:07

    Learn to read reinforcement drawings using general notes, abbreviations, and typical reinforcement. Understand bar sizes, spacing, cover, and layering, and verify any missing details with the engineer.

  • Read Bay Laying Sequence3:52

    Visualize the reinforcement in 3-D and read the bay laying sequence from bottom to top, identifying first, second, and third layers (red, yellow, green, blue) as you move up.

  • Read Bar Lapping and Cogging9:19
  • Read Post Tensioned Slab Drawing10:37

    Read post-tensioned slab drawings by verifying the number of strands per tendon, chair heights, high and low drape, and ensuring correct live ends, dead ends, and tendon spacing.

  • Read Concrete Column Schedule Drawing11:33

    Identify column types, sizes, and reinforcement from the concrete column schedule, including level references and transfer columns. Emphasize verifying general notes, legends, and tie spacing to prevent construction errors.

Description

This course is great for beginners such as junior design engineers working in design consultancies or site engineers working in construction companies. If you have just joined the construction industry but experiences some difficulties reading concrete structural drawings so would like to know how the structural drawings look like and how they can be read and interpreted on the construction site, this course will definitely help you manage your job with confidence.

Key Question Discussed

This course strengthens capabilities by giving you the confidence and competence to successfully read and interpret concrete structural drawings for future projects.

  • What does a solid and dashed line mean in a concrete profile?

  • What is a beam, upturn beam, step, fold, pour strip, prop, set down, recess?

  • How to draw sections for a complicted concrete profile?

  • What information is given in a steel rebar drawing legend?

  • What does bar layering mean in a reinforcement drawing?

  • How to read the amount and spacing of reinforcement in a plan?

  • What is a dead-end, stressing end and pan end for a PT tendon?

  • What are PT drapes and which drapes need to be checked?

  • What is the column schedule and where to extract the lap length for column bars?

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner construction worker/ Junior Engineer who just joined the industry
  • Builder or site engineer who is started dealing with concrete and post tensioning works
