Course Title: Structural Shop Drawings – From Concept to Construction
Tools Used: AutoCAD & AutoRebar
Course Description:
This in-depth course is designed for civil engineers, draftsmen, and even experienced structural engineers who want to master the process of preparing professional shop drawings for reinforced concrete structures. Using AutoCAD and AutoRebar, the course offers a practical, project-based approach to transforming design intent into detailed construction documents ready for ex*****on on-site.
What You'll Learn:
- Interpreting structural design drawings and technical documents
- Drafting accurate shop drawings for concrete elements: slabs, beams, columns, footings, retaining walls, stairs, and more
- Reinforcement detailing using AutoRebar: bar placement, cover, lap splices, anchorage, and scheduling
- Coordinating with architectural drawings and resolving clashes
- Applying drawing standards, dimensions, symbols, and notes
- Producing clean, clear, and approval-ready shop drawings
- Common mistakes to avoid and how to meet consultant/contractor expectations
Who Should Enroll:
- Civil engineering students
- Junior engineers and draftsmen
- Experienced structural engineers looking to gain or refine their skills in shop drawing preparation and detailing for concrete structures
Course Outcome:
By the end of the course, participants will be capable of producing complete and professional shop drawings for reinforced concrete structures using AutoCAD and AutoRebar—confidently bridging the gap between structural design and on-site ex*****on.
