Explores how to create a basic shop drawing of structural steel shapes and perform print reading of conveyor structures. Also introduces structural steel detail drawings and how print reading techniques relate to conveyors. Requires the purchase of the following materials for use during week 6 and beyond: ¼” grid drawing paper, triangles (45° and 30°-60°-90°), ruler/architects scale, eraser, scissors, rubber cement, colored pencils or highlighters, and drawing pencils (H and HB lead).
Goals, Topics, and Objectives
- Use of steel charts and identification of structural steel terms.
- Simple stresses.
- Bending moment, section modulus, and beam selection.
- Fasteners (bolts).
- Welding symbols and strength of welds.
- Drawing of a seated beam.
- Drawing of a framed beam.
- Drawing of a column.
- Print reading: monorail conveyors.
- Print reading: power and free conveyors.
- Print reading: bucket elevators.
- Print reading: chain conveyors.
- Print reading: belt conveyors.
- Dimensional guidelines for conveyor installations.
Assessment and Requirements
All students will be required to complete a common TAMT 123 comprehensive final examination that assesses the learning of all course objectives. This exam must be weighted in a manner so that this exam score is worth a minimum of fifteen percent of the final course grade.
Students will be required to bring the following drawing equipment beginning in the sixth week: ¼” grid drawing paper, triangles (45° and 30°-60°-90°), ruler/architects scale, eraser, scissors, rubber cement, colored pencils or highlighters, and drawing pencils (H and HB lead).
Texts, handouts, and/or workbooks will be determined by the TAE Department.
