III. REFERENCES:

Module Title: TD Grade 10 LM Module 4 Drafting Structural Layouts and Details Corrected

MATERIALS: Laptop and Computers

IV. PROCEDURES:

Preliminary Activities

1. Prayer

2. Checking of Attendance

3. Presenting of Class Rules

LEARNING EPISODE 1:

A.MOTIVATION:

1. Presentation

Note to teacher: The teacher will present the topic about drafting foundation plans.

Teacher says: “Class, today we are going to learn how to draft foundation plans.”

2. Importance

Note to the teacher: The teacher will state the importance of knowing how to draft foundation plans.

Teacher says: “This lesson is very important because it helps you recognize the most appropriate design,
proper locations in doing such foundation plans and to familiarize you to the different materials needed in
making a house or building foundations if you want to be an engineer, architect or designer someday.”

B. Probe and Respond

A. Drill/ Activity

Note to the teacher: The teacher will make the students answer the Skills Assessment Checklist provided.

Directions: Read the drafting skills carefully. Then check the "No Knowledge" box if you are not very
familiar with this skill, "A little" if you have little knowledge, and "A lot” if you are very knowledgeable about
the drafting skill.
B. Pre- requisite skills

Note to teacher: The teacher will present the technical terms encountered in drafting foundation plans.

Teacher says: “Here are the terms that you will encounter in drafting structural layouts.”

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.

LEARNING EPISODE 2

A. Modelling

Note to teacher: The teacher will present her visual aids and explains briefly the following.

Steps in Using CAD to Draw Foundation Plans

1. Firstly, plan your drawing.

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.
LEARNING EPISODE 3
A. Guided Practice

Note to the teacher: The teacher will conduct a group activity and divide the class into 4 groups.

Teacher says: I will divide the class into 4 groups, Based on your acquired knowledge and skills in the
preparation of computer-aided drawings. Draft the following structural details below, by selecting the
appropriate CAD tools/commands.

Independent practice

Note to teacher: The teacher will conduct an individual activity.

Directions: Using CAD, draft and complete the foundation plan below by using the appropriate
tools/commands.

LEARNING EPISODE 4

A. Evaluation

Direction: Using CAD, perform the following problems below using the appropriate tools/commands.

1. Draw a foundation plan from a sample floor plan provided by your teacher. Indicate complete
dimensions, notations, and the required standard specifications of a foundation plan.

2. Draw separate plans for wall footing, column, and footing details you present in your foundation
plan.

3. Use appropriate scale dimensions suitable to your drawings.

 4. Refer to your floor plan to determine the dimensions and position of load-bearing walls. Review
your previous exercises and lecture notes for your guidance to complete information.

5. After finishing your drawing, submit a printed output of your to your instructor for evaluation.

B. Assignment

Directions: Using CAD, select the appropriate tools/commands in creating the typical column and footing
details. As shown in the drawing below label each details following the sequence for drawing structural
plan using AutoCAD.
