In USA steel rods are called rebars and a D12 would be the same as #4 rebar which is 1/2″ thick.
Steel benders and cutters can be hired from most hire firms. Steel rods (D12, D10 etc) can be purchased from most major building suppliers and comes in 6 metres lengths. This ties the new concrete footings and concrete slab to the existing. Glue into the holes (with epoxy) 700mm (28″) long pieces of deformed 12mm (1/2″) thick steel. This means drill 12mm (1/2″) holes at least 100mm (4″) deep into the side of the existing concrete slab every 600mm (24″) apart. “Drill & epoxy 700 (28″) long D12 (#4 rebar) starters 100mm (4″) into existing slab and foundations at 600crs (24″ O.C.).” The equivalent in imperial (USA) is #4 rebar, which is 1/2″ thick. Note: D12 rod means deformed steel 12mm thick.
For a better understanding have a look at the cross-section plan The D10 (#3 rebar) link/starters must lap into the concrete slab at least 600mm (24″).
Two D12 rods (#4 rebar) run the length of the footing and are tied with tie wire to D10 (#3 rebar) link/starters spaced every 600mm (24″) apart. The dotted lines on the plan marks the outline of the footing. This means the footing will be continuous and 300mm (12″) wide and 300mm (12″) deep. The continuous straight lines mark where the 200mm (8″) concrete blocks go, and the continuous dotted lines mark where the 300mm (12″) wide footings go, 50mm (2″) each side of the concrete block line. These lines show where the block work and footings go. In this case the top line shows the overall measurement of the building width, the middle line shows the overall measurement of the building recesses and the bottom line shows where the concrete blocks go. Sometimes the specifications are on a separate document but sometimes (mainly smaller jobs) the specifications are incorporated in the plan drawings. Specifications give a description of all the materials used, sizes, spacings etc and in some cases right down to what type of paint to use and how many coats. The cross section shows construction, lumber sizes and room heights.Ī detail plan is a blow up (magnified) part of the plan to give clearer detail.Įxample and explanation of a cross section plan and detail – The cross section line is marked by flags. The cross section plan is a plan taken from a cross section of the floor plan. The bracing plan shows where the wall braces go and what type of bracing is required.Įxample and explanation of a bracing plan – The roof plan shows a flat plan view (looking down view) of the layout of the roof, and where the trusses / rafters etc are situated.Įxample and explanation of a roof plan – The floor plan is to scale and walls etc are dimensioned.Įxample and explanation of a floor plan –
What does planogram mean windows#
The floor plan (footprint) shows the layout of the walls, also where the doors and windows are along with the sizes of the doors and windows, units such as vanities, baths etc and the designated uses of the rooms. The elevation plan gives a good perspective of the addition to the untrained eye.Įxample and explanation of an elevation plan –
The elevation plan is more like a drawing of the outside of the addition rather than a plan although is still drawn to scale. The foundation or footing plan shows the outlay and measurements of the foundation / footings and any required steel reinforcing.Įxample and explanation of a foundation plan – Contour grids showing the rise and fall of the land are needed for sloping sections.Įxample and explanation of a site plan – The site plan also shows the site boundaries, location of services (storm water, sewer etc.) and relative levels of floor, finished ground and services. The site plan (plot plan) shows the placement of the existing building and the proposed addition. The example plans in this article are for a 34sq metres (366 sq ft) addition to a fictitious house.Ĭonstruction is concrete slab floor, brick veneer, lumber frame and lightweight tile roof on lumber trusses.
What does planogram mean code#
If contemplating drawing up your own plans or doing any building work inquire at your local building department to find out what specific needs are bound by local building code or by local authority in order to obtain a building permit. Plan and permit requirements vary from place to place. The plans are for an addition to a fictitious house. Buildeazy has drawn up a simple set of working plans to explain the bits and pieces.
