Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE – ICT (Technical Drafting)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE – ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the
leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency
(MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will
be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The TLE – ICT (Technical Drafting) Activity Sheet is developed to help you
continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you
with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and

3
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Drawing on a Larger Scale details of Wall Footings, Footings and Columns

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO1. Draft foundation plan
(TLE_ICTTD9-12LC-IIIa-b-1)

1.2 Draw on a larger scale details of wall footings, footings and

columns.

II. Background Information for Learners

All structures are required to have a foundation. The foundation provides a

base to distribute the weight of the structure into the soil. The weight, or load, must
be evenly distributed over enough soil to prevent it from compressing the soil. In
addition to resist the load from gravity, the foundation must resist floods, winds, and
earthquakes. Where flooding is a problem, the foundation system must be designed
for the possibility that much of the supporting soil may be washed away. The
foundation must also be designed to resist any debris that may be carried by
floodwaters.

Symbols are used on floor plans to describe items that are associated with
living in the home, such as doors, windows, cabinets, and plumbing fixtures. Other
symbols are more closely related to the construction of the home, such as electrical
circuits and material sizes and spacing. One of the most important concerns of the
drafter is to carefully combine all of the symbols, notes, and dimensions on the floor
plan so the plan is uncluttered and easily read.

After going through this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Identify wall footings, footings and columns in drafting the floor plan.
2. Indicate the locations of wall footings, footings and columns in drafting the floor
plan.
3. Draft wall footings, footings and columns using CAD.

Technical Terms Encountered in Drafting Foundation Plans

Foundation - is the part of the building below the surface of the ground which is
sometimes called the substructure.

Footing - is an expansion at the lower end of a wall, pier or column to

distribute the load into the ground.

External Reference - is a DWG, DWF, DWFx, raster image, DNG, or PDF file
incorporated into a drawing for reference only.
Layer Filters - are settings that screen out, or filter, layers you do not want to
display in the list view pane of the Layer Properties Manager.

5
 Library Path – is the path AutoCAD that searches by default to find an xref file,
including the current folder and locations set in the Options dialog box.

Limit Dimensioning - is a method of dimensioning in which the upper and lower

limits are given, instead of the specified dimension and tolerance.

Limits - are the size of the virtual drawing area in model space. They are largest
and smallest numerical values a feature can have.

Linear Parameter - creates a measurement reference between two points.

Line Conventions - are standards related to line thickness, type, and purpose.

Line Spacing - is the vertical distance from the bottom of one line of text to the
bottom of the next line.

Line type Scale - is the lengths of dashes and spaces in line types.

Truss - is the framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting
a roof, bridge, or other structure.

Mono Truss - is a truss has only one slope as opposed two (half of a common
truss).

Hip Truss - is a truss erected to sustain the angle-rafters of a hip-roof.

Beam - is a long, sturdy piece of squared timber or metal spanning an opening or

part of a building, usually to support the roof or floor above.

Joist - is a length of timber or steel supporting part of the structure of a building,

typically arranged in parallel series to support a floor or ceiling.

Lateral Bracing - refers to any piece (wood or metal) on a bridge that help keep the
top chord from bending horizontally.

Schedule Bracing - is a structural member, such as a beam or prop, used to

reinforced a framework, such a supporting beam in a building.

Using CAD to Draw Foundation Plans

The six steps used to draw a foundation plan manually are similar to the steps
used when drawing with AutoCAD. Below are the sequence in coming up a Foundation

6
 Plan based on standard but you may also innovate some techniques which are familiar
with you

1. Firstly, plan your drawing. This includes planning where the drawing will be created
and stored, the needed layers, line types, and what loads will need to be supported.
Because you do not have the same kind of accuracy problems when working with CAD
as you have with manual drafting, the CAD floor plan may be used as an accurate basis
for drawing the foundation plan.

2. Next display the floor plan, and then begin the foundation drawing directly over the
floor plan on another layer.

3. Draw the outer side of the stem walls using the OSNAP command.

4. Freeze all floor-related information once the outline of the floor plan has been traced.

5. Use the OFFSET command to lay out the thickness of the stem walls and footings.
Corners can be adjusted by using the FILLET or TRIM command.

6. Change the lines representing the footings using the CHANGE PROPERTIES
command. By following the step-by step instructions for a particular foundation type, the
plan can be completed.

7. Use the dimensions used on the floor or framing plan. Show the existing dimensions
so that they are displayed on the foundation drawing, or use the COPY command to
place the needed dimension in the drawing. Use a layer such as BASE DIM for placing
dimensions required by the floor and foundation plans.

8. Place any dimensions that were not placed on previous plan views as needed on the
foundation plan. This will include the locations of openings in the stem wall for any
doors into the garage, foundation supports, and braced wall anchor locations. Openings
in the exterior envelope that will be above a wood floor system do not need to be
located on the foundation plan.

9. Type general notes and store them as a WBLOCK to be reused on future foundation
plans. Many drafters also store lists of local notes required for a particular type of
foundation as a WBLOCK and insert them into a drawing. Once inserted into the
foundation plan, the notes can be moved to the desired position.

10. Store the foundation plan when completed separately from the floor plan to make
plotting easier. Storing the foundation plan with the floor and framing plan will save disk
space, and proper use of layering can ease plotting. All foundation walls, bearing footings,
and support beams will be in their correct locations.
