I'm manually drafting a floor plan layout and need to determine appropriate graphical symbols for various tension and shear connectors. Since there are many types and variations, I'd like to standardize the symbols. Here are a few examples of the connectors I need to represent:
I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions, resources, or comments you might have!
- HD: Tension hold-down – connects wall to floor elements across one storey.
- 2HD: Double tension hold-down – connects wall to wall elements across two storeys.
- TS-TT: Tension strap tie (timber to timber) – outdoor connector for walls across two storeys.
- TS-CT: Tension strap tie (concrete to timber) – outdoor connector for walls across two storeys.
- SC-AB: Shear connectors (angle brackets) – connect wall to floor elements across one storey.
- SC-SP: Steel plate – outdoor wall-to-wall connector across two storeys.
- etc.
I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions, resources, or comments you might have!
