Detailing 1 (SANS 282)

Reinforcement detailing and bending schedules for draughtsmen, technologists and young engineers: reading and drawing RC, SANS 282 shape codes and cutting lengths, laps and cover, beams, columns, slabs, footings and walls, and the schedule from the calculator to the drawing.

Lessons

Lesson 1Reading and drawing reinforced concreteViews and sections, conventions, bar callouts and marks, range lines, slab layers and the schedule columns. Lesson 2SANS 282 shape codes and cutting lengthsThe 2011 shapes, R and Y bend radii, Table 1 lengths, rounding, large radii and custom shapes. Lesson 3Laps, anchorage and cover in practiceWhere to lap, lap multipliers, starters, anchorage at supports, cover by exposure and fire, spacers and congestion. Lesson 4Beams and columnsBeam cages, curtailment, link zones, side bars, the joint at a column, column links, starters and the top of the column. Lesson 5Slabs, footings and wallsSlab mats, openings, corner steel, flat slab strips, footings, starters, pile cap ties and walls. Lesson 6The bending schedule end to endOne job from the calculators to the project schedule, the project board and STATIX 2D, and the checks before the bender.

Who it is for

Draughtsmen and detailers who draw reinforced concrete.
Technologists who check drawings and schedules.
Young engineers who issue them.
Students who want to see how a design becomes a drawing.

Before this course

It builds on RC Design 1, lesson 8 (cover, anchorage, laps and a first bending schedule).

The STATIX tools it uses

The concrete calculators’ “Add to project schedule”.
The project board: the schedule sheet, the order list, the cutting list and DXF.
STATIX 2D for AutoCAD.

How each lesson works

Learning outcomes and what you need before you start.
Short theory with many sketches, with SANS clause numbers to look up in your own copy.
Worked examples: readings, mark-ups and schedules, every number shown.
The same task in a STATIX tool.
Exercises with answers, a short self-check quiz and the lesson on one page.

Universities and colleges

Universities and colleges: one licence for the department; students sign in with their university email. Lecturers can use the lessons and the tools in class and in tutorials.

Course material for learning. Check every drawing and schedule against the current codes and the engineer’s design.
