Hi, Dear All,
First of all, happy new year!
I have a general question on plan notes. My background is bridge design/load rating/rehab.
After 8 years of work, I feel much better now on structural modeling and analysis. However, I still do not feel very comfortable/confident when I have to come up with the plan notes on the structural plan sheets.
I asked senior engineers, and they told me to learn from the go-by plans. And the go-by plans, I should get from the DOT bid files.
My questions are:
1. Is there a general guidance/policy book for the plan notes? How do you come up with the plan notes?
2. If your background is from other fields (building, oil, offshore, industrial structure, and so on), please give some insight on this as well.
3. Similarly, how do you come up with the general notes?
Big Thanks,
Stewie
