Blueprint Reading: Construction Drawings for the Building Trade

Blueprint Reading: Construction Drawings for the Building Trade by Sam A. A. Kubba
English | 2008-09-30 | ISBN: 0071549862 | 384 pages | PDF | 7.3 mb

Blueprint Reading is a step-by-step guide to reading and interpreting all types of construction drawings. Filled with hundreds of illustrations and study questions, this easy-to-use resource offers a complete overview of construction drawing basics for every aspect of the construction process- from site work, foundations, and structural systems to interior work and finishes. Covering all the latest technological advances, noted architect Sam Kubba offers detailed information on: - Blueprint standards-ANSI, ISO, AWS, and ASME - Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) - Lines, views, elevations, and dimensions - Layouts of all construction drawing types-architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical - Specifications-MasterFormat and UniFormat - Symbols-materials, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and others - How to avoid costly pitfalls on construction projects - You'll also find a glossary of terms for quick reference, convenient tables and charts for identifying symbols and abbreviations, and much more.

Engineering Drawing for Manufacture

Author : Brian Griffiths Year : 2003

The book is divided into six chapters that follow a logical progression. The first chapter gives an overview of the principles of engineering drawing and the important concept that engineering drawing is like a language. It has its own rules and regulation areas and it is only when these are understood and implemented that an engineering drawing becomes a specification. The second chapter deals with the various engineering drawing projection methodologies. The third chapter introduces the concept of the ISO rules governing the representation of parts and features. A practical example is given of the drawing of a small hand vice. The ISO rules are presented in the context of this vice such that it is experiential learning rather than theoretical. The fourth chapter introduces the methods of dimensioning and tolerancing components for manufacture.
The fifth chapter introduces the concept of limits, fits and geometric tolerancing, which provides the link of dimensioning to functional performance. A link is also made with respect to the capability of manufacturing processes. The sixth and final chapter covers the methodology of specifying surface finish. A series of questions are given in a final section to aid the students’ understanding. Full references are given at the end of each chapter so the students can pursue things further if necessary.

Engineering Drawing for Manufacture

The processes of manufacture and assembly are based on the communication of engineering information via drawing. These drawings follow rules laid down in national and international standards. The organisation responsible for the international rules is the International Standards Organisation (ISO). There are hundreds of ISO standards on engineering drawing because drawing is very complicated and accurate transfer of information must be guaranteed. The information contained in an engineering drawing is a legal specification, which contractor and sub-contractor agree to in a binding contract.
