for all margins and the divisions of drawing sheets into zones
are given in Fig. 3.1 (A to F). 3.1.1.1 The title block is an
important feature ih a drawing and should be placed at the
bottom right-hand corner of the sheet, where it is readily
seen when the prints are folded in the prescribed manner.
The size of the title block recommended is 185 X 65 mm.
3.1.2 Separate sheets should be used for each type of
structural member or unit so that a floor slab would be
detailed on one sheet, beams on another, and columns on a
further sheet, etc. Alternatively, for small jobs each standard
size sheet could be used to detail one floor of the structure so
that the ground floor slab, beams and columns could be
detailed on one sheet and the first floor members on
another. 3.1.3 Luyostr -There cannot be a single standard
layout for the detailing of reinforced concrete drawings.
However, practice to draw th hand corner of the I it is the
usual (key) plan in the upper left eet, with the elevations and
details below and on to the right side of the plan. Schedules
and bending details are placed in the upper right corner of
the drawing. Figure ‘3.2 gives a broad outline of layout
recommended. In large projects, the bending schedule can be
omitted from individual drawings and a separate bending
schedule drawing may be prepared. 3.2 Scale of Drawing -
Scales shall be so chosen as to bring out the details clearly
and to keep the drawings within workable size. The choice of
scale will depend at the discretion of the HANDljOOK ON
CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT AND detailerldesigner and no
general recommendations can be given in this respect. Some
commonly used scales are given below as examples: Plan - 1 :
100, I : 50 Elevation.- I : 5, I : 30 Sections --1:50, 1 :30, 1 :25, I
:20, I: 15, I : IO 3.3 Information to be Shown on Structural
Drawings 3.3.1 The overall sizes of the concrete members
shall include the sizes of any necessary chamfers and fillets at
corners. Also, the exact position, shape, size and spacing of
the reinforcement within concrete members, as well as the
required dimensions oi the concrete cover to the
reinforcement shall be given. 3.3.2 The position of any holes
required in the members for service pipes and details OC any
pipes or other fixings to be cast-in with the concrete, and
also, the position and details of construction joints and
special recesses, etc, shall be indicated. 3.3.3 When
foundations or ground floor slabs are detailed, information
regarding the underside conditions shall be shown, such as
the use of waterproof paper, the thickness of blinding (the
lean layer of concrete), if required. 3.3.4 Notes should be
used freely on detailed drawings. The most important being
the ‘bar marks’ which give information about each, or a series
of similar reinforcing bars. The notes should be concise and
precise, and shall not be ambiguous. The notes which apply
to the whole drawings, such as the specifications of the
concrete to be used, size of chamfers and fillets, and concrete
cover, etc, can be placed under a general heading at the
bottom or side of the drawing. 3.3.5 The beams, wall slabs,
floor slabs and columns, etc, the main dimensions of the
structure, such as the distances between columns, heights
between floors, beam and column sizes, and floor and wall
thicknesses, etc, as calculated by the design engineer shall
also be shown on the drawings. Sections shall be drawn to
atleast twice the scale of plans or elevations to which they
refer, while complicated joints such as may occur at the
intersections of columns and beams may be detailed to larger
scale, say I : 4. DETAILING I5 Sl’ : 34(S&T)-1987 I I TITLE BLOCK

3.2 TYPICAL LAYOUT OF A DRAWING 3.3.6 Structural
drawings pre ared by the designer shall show details of rein P
orcement and all other information needed for detailing the
reinforcement. The drawings shall also indicate, by separate
notes, live loads, concrete strength, quality and grade of
steel, number of bars to be lapped and lengths of the laps,
and if necessary special instructions regarding erection of
formwork, fabrication and placing of steel. 3.3.7 It is
convenient to detail the reinforcement by units which
generally consist of footings, walls, columns, each floor and
roof. A separate structural drawing supplemented by bar
bending schedule should preferably be made for each unit.
For small structures. the entire requirements may be handled
as one unit. For a large project a particular unit such as floor
may be divided to correspond with the construction
schedule. 3.3.8 To ensure that all the reinforcement is .
properly placed or positioned in a unit, longitudinal section or
cross-section should be shown in addition to plan and
elevation of the unit on which the bars are shown. 3.3.9 The
drawing should be complete and clear so as to leave no doubt
on any point of construction. Complete and accurate
dimensions shall be shown. Clear and adequate details for
special and unusual condition shall be given to ensure proper
placing of reinforcement. Details of covers and intersections
of walls. construction joints, window and door openings, and
similar special features should be shown in the relevant
drawings alongwith sketches, if necessary. 3.3.10 For clear
demarcation of reinforcement bars, those in the near face
shall be shown in full lines and those that are placed in the far
face shall be shown in dotted lines. 3.3.11 All bars, straight or
bent requiring hooks bends. shall be properly dcsignatcd h\.
the designer or a note to this effect included in the drawing.
3.3.12 Lengths of la points and extension o P s, points of
bend. cut-off bars should bc specified by the designer. The
dimensions L: 7, L, 5 and L/4. etc. shown on typical drawings
shall not be used unless justified by structural analysis. 3.3.13
Wherever possible. all control and construction joints should
he indicated on structural d.rawings and constructional
details provided for such joints. 3.3.14 Notes attd

of instructions shall be avoided. All instructions shall be in
imperative form. specific, brief and clear. 19 SIP :

slabs, beams, columns and many other parts of structures
may be effectively shown on working drawings in a tabular
form, known as a schedule (see Section 5). 3.4 SymJols and
Abbreviations - Symbols and abbreviations to be adopted in
the drawings for reinforced concrete construction are given

enhances the clarity and usefulness of the drawing. The
