  2. Waffle slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_slab

    Diagram shows slab and rib width with rules of thumb formula. Slab depth is typically 75 mm (3 in) to 130 mm (5 in) thick. [5] [3] As a rule of thumb, the depth should be 1 ⁄ 24 of the span. [5] The width of the ribs is typically 130 mm (5 in) to 150 mm (6 in), and ribs usually have steel rod reinforcements. [5] The distance between ribs is ...

  3. Architectural drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_drawing

    An architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building project) that falls within the definition of architecture.Architectural drawings are used by architects and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to assist a building ...

  4. Technical drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

    Architectural sketches, for example, are a kind of diagram. [2] These sketches, like metaphors , are used by architects as a means of communication in aiding design collaboration. This tool helps architects to abstract attributes of hypothetical provisional design solutions and summarize their complex patterns, thereby enhancing the design process.

  5. Shallow foundation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_foundation

    Shallow foundation construction example. A shallow foundation is a type of building foundation that transfers structural load to the Earth very near to the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of depths, as does a deep foundation. Customarily, a shallow foundation is considered as such when the width of the entire foundation is ...

  6. Foundation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_(engineering)

    Shallow foundations of a house versus the deep foundations of a skyscraper. Foundation with pipe fixtures coming through the sleeves. In engineering, a foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground or more rarely, water (as with floating structures), transferring loads from the structure to the ground.

  7. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Isometry means "equal measures" because the same scale is used for height, width, and depth". [ 9 ] From the middle of the 19th century, according to Jan Krikke (2006) [ 9 ] isometry became an "invaluable tool for engineers, and soon thereafter axonometry and isometry were incorporated in the curriculum of architectural training courses in ...

  8. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Example mechanical drawing. Here is an example of an engineering drawing (an isometric view of the same object is shown above). The different line types are colored for clarity. Black = object line and hatching; Red = hidden line; Blue = center line of piece or opening; Magenta = phantom line or cutting plane line

  9. Technical drawing tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing_tool

    Letter templates are used for drawing text, including digits and letter characters. Diagrams are usually of a standard letter shape and size to conform to standards of encodings (e.g. DIN or ANSI). For example, in Finland the series used is 1.8 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.5 mm, 5.0 mm and 7.0 mm.
