How Structural Steel Detailing Works
Structural steel detailing is the creation of detailed drawings used for the manufacture and putting up steel members, including drawings, estimates, plans, and other needed documents. Structural steel detailing can cover a lot of different steel members, including, but certainly not limited to steel columns, joists, handrails, trusses, braces, metal decking, stairs, and steel beams.
And so, structural steel detailing is very important in a lot of different industries like plants, building construction, ship building, marine, naval construction, and building construction among others. Anything that is big enough to need structural steel will have to get structural steel detailing work. Further, structural steel detailing is an easy way to integrate the inputs of fabricators, architects, engineers and other professionals. While detailers are not responsible for the design or the integrity of steel members, architects and structural engineers will have to review and approve any structural steel detailing work before its release.
Structural steel detailing drawings usually fall under two types of drawings: erection drawings and shop drawings. Erection drawings show its users, the steel erectors, how to and where to place manufactured steel members; it includes very detailed data on all the necessary processes like installing wedge anchors, bolting and welding
Structural steel detailing dealing with shop drawings, on the other hand, are used to determine the requirements for manufacturing each steel member and are mainly used by steel fabricators to manufacture these members. Structural steel detailing usually has information on specifications, dimensions, sizes, materials needed, and other similar information.
Structural steel detailing, therefore, must be done with utmost care and should comply with the standards and protocols set by various organizations like the American Institute of Steel Construction.
More often than not, structural steel detailing is created with computers, using computer aided design or drafting applications like AutoCAD. Nowadays, these drawings are usually also extended into 3D modeling by using the same.
Structural steel detailing may be a very difficult process, but it is very vital to your construction projects. A detailer should have all the skills necessary to create the drawings, from logic, to drafting, to geometry, to reasoning, to visualization, as well as great communication skills to pull it off on time and with great accuracy. You would also need general engineering knowledge as well as working knowledge on steel fabrication. In the United States, most structural steel detailers are self taught, or have only a general certification program that touches on CAD operation. Structural steel detailing is not a course that is offered in a lot of colleges. Because of these, it is very difficult to maintain a productive and inexpensive staff that can handle detailing work around the clock. There are, however, a lot of companies that offer expert structural steel detailing work that are both inexpensive and reliable.
