Structural Steel Detailing is a process of creating such detailed fabrication drawings for main steel and miscellaneous steel of a structure.
- Utilization of Structural Steel Detailing
The steel detailing and miscellaneous steel detailing is extensively used by key professionals like engineers, architects, contractors, fabricators as well as other people who are associated with civil and construction engineering industries. It is being widely used in the aspect of structural BIM services.
Most commonly, steel detailing and miscellaneous steel detailing is used with construction of steel structures. Steel structure can be described as a group of structural elements consisting of columns, plates, beams, floor, plates, side wall covering members, roof members among others. It has steel units of different sizes and shapes all connected to each other by welding or bolting.

- Shop Drawings – It describes as detailed drawings covering all info like member sizes, steel material, all necessary dimensions, welding detail, bolt holes detail, depthless preparation and painting necessities, and the other data required to explain every completed member.
- Example of shop drawings
- Assembly drawing
- Single part drawing/Individual part drawing
- Multi assembly sheet/Gather Sheet
- Erection Drawings – Which show identification, location of the fabricated items go at the site and to which other member they are connected to. Erection drawings include GA drawing (general arrangement drawing), marking plans, marking elevations, marking sections and 3D marking.
- Example of erection drawings
- Anchor Bolt layout, sections and details
- Different floor level layouts
- Section sheets
- Elevation sheets
- Stair details
