Structural engineer drawings are used to design structures using material properties and formulas. They typically show column axes, roofs, foundations, and structural details to communicate design information between engineers and contractors. Structural drawings are done by draftsmen and convert sketches into precise 2D and 3D CAD models. Shop drawings provide more fabrication details for prefabricated components to manufacturers. The development process for structural drawings involves planning, design, and providing construction guidance.

2. Introduction
Definition:
• Using formulas related to
material properties to
design structure.
• Usually they draw…
 Column axis
 Roof
 Foundation
 Structural detail
• Using this technique as a
communication between
structural engineer and
contractor.

3. WHAT DOES
STRUCTURAL
ENGINEER
DRAW??

4. Structural Drawing
• This formula is called Structural Drawing
• Usually this structural drawing is done by
professional structural Draftsmen.
• Convert the sketch into 2D & 3D technology in
CAD(Computer-aided design) Design to make
a precise structural drawings.

6. Shop Drawing
• Is a drawing for pre-fabricated component used in
construction.
• Shop Drawing normally show more detail and the
explaination of fabrication of the items to the
manufacturer’s production crew.
• Appearance and performance of item describe in the
specification and construction drawing.

7. Shop Drawing
• 2D Shop Drawings
• 2D Columns Shop Drawings
• Structural Steel Shop Drawings
• 2D Cabinets Shop Drawings

8. 2D Shop Drawings
With a 2D view of Floor Plan

9. Technical drawing
Line an material symbols that used for the shop drawing

10. 2D Columns Shop Drawings
2D Column design view

11. Structural Steel Shop Drawings
Is a production of shop drawing for the steel fabricator

12. 2D Cabinets Shop Drawings
Similar to Millwork shop drawing

13. Fabrication drawing
• This drawing are made after review the shop
drawing.
• A fabrication drawing provides information on
how a single part is machined.
• This drawing usually decribe the part or
component with each view containing the
necessary dimensions.

14. Fabrication drawing
• Customized Steel Fabrication Drawings
• Fabrication Shop Drawings
• Sheet Metal Fabrication Drawings
• Erection Drawings

15. Customized Steel Fabrication Drawings
Produce specific and custom steel
from the steel fabricator

16. Fabrication Shop Drawings
A detail fabrication of the structure for the contractor

17. Sheet Metal Fabrication Drawings
Designing smalls part for combination of structure

18. Erection Drawings
Is prepared based on client requirement and help the
erectors to simply their work.

19. Development Process

20. Planning
• Various requirement, factor affect the general
layout and dimensions of the structure
• Calculate the loads
• Type of structure that suitable for buildings
• Structural and constructional requirements and
limitations

21. Design
• Different solution in the planning stage
• The most suitable dimensions, proportion and
details of the structural elements
• Position of columns and beams
• Arrangement of connection structure

22. Construction
• Mobilization of personnel
• Procurement of materials and equipment
• Redesign for unpredicted difficulties occur
• Advising construction
