Structural Steel Construction Drawing Standards

[Appl3E14159]

hello,

I noticed that there is difference between construction and mechanical drawing.
Someone can please refer me to a standard in the ANSE/AICS for steel constructions drawings.
Standard that explain the symbols, explain how to create design drawing, shop-drawings and section cut.

best regards.

AISC has a book called "Detailing for Steel Construction" found here.

Also look at this paper: Strucural Steel Detailing Practices Good and Bad.

There are probably other references on the AISC.org site - do a search there.
Also - check out the AISC Code of Standard Practice which outlines various responsbilities in steel construction.

JAE hello,

Thank you for the detailed response.

I understand that there isn't a specific standard for construction drawings.

You might also look at

http://www.nisd.org,

the site of the National Institute of Steel Detailers.

They have publications and standards for USA work and maybe contact for others.

No, I do not believe there is an official document that say this is how you shall do it.
