longitudinal structural element oriented vertically that carries compressive loads
Column
Shear wall
Beam
Tie Beam
Foundation
wall-like structural element that resists lateral loads; they are like reinforced walls
Column
Shear wall
Beam
Tie Beam
Foundation
a structural element, typically horizontal, that carries load in the lateral direction; resists shear and bending action
Column
Shear wall
Beam
Tie Beam
Foundation
a beam that connects or “ties” two or more columns together, particularly where columns are slender to reduce their effective length and prevent buckling
Column
Shear wall
Beam
Tie Beam
Foundation
the part that transfers the load of the structure to the ground underneath; maybe classified into shallow and deep _________.
Column
Shear wall
Beam
Tie Beam
Foundation
The term (a) is used to refer to
foundations but mostly to shallow types.
foundation placed near the ground surface; used when the ground underneath can adequately carry the load of the structure
Shallow Foundation
Deep Foundation
foundation that is used when the ground underneath is not strong enough to carry the weight of the building, and as such needs to reach deeper.
Shallow Foundation
Deep Foundation
found in roof framings and typically runs from the ridge to the wall plate; usually lain in series along the length of the structure to support the roof
Rafter
Purlin
Ridge
Girt
a beam on the roof structure that runs along the length of the structure supporting the loads from roof sheathing or roof deck
Rafter
Purlin
Ridge
Girt
a member that runs longitudinally along the apex of the structure; supports one end of the rafters

Specifications for the Design
of Cold-Formed
(a)
The International Code Council
(a)
Structural specifications typically indicated in construction plans include:
- The code to which the design conforms, with the issue date and version
explicitly noted
- Design loads
- Seismic design basis
- Strength and designations of materials to be used
- Strength of the underlying soil
also called key plan, shows the general dimensions and
location of the structural member.

For vertically oriented elements, such as columns and walls, or for inclined ones like roof truss members, if vertical distances and heights are not shown in the structural drawings, we need to refer to the _________ _ _______ found in the Architectural Sheets
(a)
What does NGL stands for?
(a)
Most of the concrete structural members are rectangular in shape so the volume is easy to calculate.
true
false
When calculating the volume of slabs, measurements should be taken from the clear distance between grids or walls where the slab is attached.
true
false
beam lengths are measured as the clear distance between the supports (e.g. columns or walls) the beam is attached to.
true
false
CONCRETE is estimated by calculating the volume of the structural elements.
true
false
This method of estimation of steel reinforcement is fast, and typically used for quick estimation, but requires considerable experience to pull off a fairly accurate estimate
Rule-of-thumb Estimation
Reinforcement Length Estimation
When estimating beam reinforcements, we look into the beam section / detail view to see the bar sizes, configurations such as hooks, and the clear cover. We then look into the elevation view to check the lengths, and the spacing of the stirrups
