Thesis Abstract

In structural detailing, the project is initiated by the structural Engineer. The Architectural drawings are prepared by the Archived to the required scale and specification given to him by the client.The Structural Engineer designs the structural framework of the building and specification required such as slab, beam, column and foundation.For proper clarification and understanding, the structure is broken down into us component parts and detailed, keeping in mind the design consideration. Structural detailing is the transformation of the works of the Structural Engineer into working drawing for the builders to use without any cumber some.The methods, symbols and notations used are standardized for uniformity despite the multi diversity nature of the construction industry.
