TrusSteel Shop Drawings
Shop drawings are the primary vehicle for
transferring design information from the truss
designer to the building designer for review.
Clear, easy to understand shop drawings make
the job of the reviewer easier and help speed the
approval process. Each individual truss design is
described with a unique shop drawing. Load,
span, deflection and other design parameters are
clearly stated. Special design criteria and
bracing requirements are given, and additional
details are referenced on the drawing. Every
truss component member, fastener and internal
connector is located and identified. Truss profile,
pitch breaks and bearing points are fully
dimensioned.
Individual shop drawings are often supported
with engineering details. These accompanying
details are referenced on the shop drawings and
are included with the shop drawings in the
submittal package. Common internal connection
situations are referred to appropriate Standard
Details. New details are created, as needed, to
describe unique situations.
