DRAFTING 124 LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET # 1

(STRUCTURAL DRAFTING AND BUILDING TECHNOLOGY)

I. Lesson Title:
Introduction to Fundamental Structural Design

Learning Outcomes:
1. Discussed the concept of structural design.
2. Gained confidence to convert units of measurement

Time Allotted: 1 hour

II. Background information for Students:

With prior knowledge about units of measurements and reinforcement bars, you
should be aware of the units of measurements, the types, and classification of
reinforcement bars. Prior to the measurements of reinforcement bars they are
classified in shapes, stresses, and strength of the reinforcement bars needed based
in the size of bars. Typically, the strength of materials depends on the size and space
of the reinforcement while the strength of the reinforcement bars needed is based
in the size of bar.

III. Activity Proper:

Direction: In this activity, you will apply the measurements to draw your House Plan.
Materials: Drawing Instruments, Bond paper (8”x13”)
Procedure:
1. Draw the following:
a. Foundation Plan
b. Column Foundation

Guide Questions:
1. What scaling is used to draw your Foundation Plan? In your Column Plan? Is there
difference in the scaling of the Foundation plan and Column Plan?
2. What specification have you included in developing your One – storey residential
house?
3. What have you inferred in developing Foundation Plan and Column Plan?

*Note: Please refer to “Technical Drawing Handbook” by Dr. Karlo Sira

UNITS OF MEASUREMENTS
Do you know?
There are two (2) types of units in measurement namely (a) The English System and (b)
The Metric System?

1.1 The English System is composed of inches, foot or in feet. In writing an inch, it is in
fraction type. The symbol used in inches is (“) while (‘) in feet or foot.
Example: In inches- 1/8”, ¼”, ½”, ¾”, 1”, 1’
In foot – 1’, 2’, 3’

The smallest division of an inch is 1/32”.

In one foot is equal to 12 inches
In one inch there are 16/16” = 1 inch
Therefore, 2/16” is read as 1/8”, 4/16” is read as ¼” of an inch.

1.2 The Metric System of measurements is composed of, millimeters, centimeters and
meters. The symbols used in metric are:
mm. = millimeter
cm. = centimeter
m. = meter
dm. = decimeter
km. = kilometer

Standard equivalent of English System to Metric System

1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm. 1 yard is = .9144 m.
1 foot is 30.45cm. 1 mile is = 1.6095 km.

The division of metric system:

1 cm. = 10millimeter 10 decimeter = 1 meter
1,000 meters = 1 kilometer 10 cm. = 1 decimeter
100 centimeters = 1 meter

Do you know?
Writing the metric system of measurement is the same as writing a peso. For example,
¼ of a meter is equal to 25 centimeters or .25¢. Also, ½ of a meter is equal to 50 cm or .50 ¢,
while ¾ of a meter is equal to 75 centimeter is .75¢ and 1 meter is 1.00 peso.

1.5400 is read as One meter and Fifty-four centimetre.

The metric system has a decimal point. The first number before the decimal is meter,
the digit after the decimal point is decimeter, the 2nd digit after the decimal is centimeter, the
third digit after the decimal is millimeter and the last digit is tenth of millimeter.

Activity 2: Application of Measurement

Direction: Using the metric system, write the complete measurement of the given floor plan.

DRAFTING 124 LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET # 2

(STRUCTURAL DRAFTING AND BUILDING TECHNOLOGY)

V. Lesson Title:
Introduction to Fundamental Structural Design

Learning Outcomes:
1. Discussed the concepts of Structural design
2. Familiarized the types of reinforcement bar.
3. Gained confidence to convert units of measurement.
4. Solved problems using the scientific method, expressing answers with accuracy.
5. Apply reinforcement bars in designing the details of footing.

Time Allotted: 3 hours

VI. Background information for Students:

Symbols - in architecture symbols refers to the classical view of the architecture of

the mind. In this approach the mind is viewed as a process in which symbols are
manipulated. ... The symbolic architecture approach has been widely applied and
formed the basis of influential work such as Newell & Simon's Human Problem
Solving.

Notations - a mark or character used as a conventional representation of an object,

function, or process, e.g. the letter or letters standing for a chemical element or a
character in musical notation.
