11. Exercises in Computer Aided Building Planning and Drawing (BCV305)
The chapter delves into the principles of computer-aided building planning and drawing, emphasizing the design and detailing of various structural elements, including beams, slabs, and lintels. Through systematic exercises, it trains on applying standards for depicting reinforcement, understanding load considerations, and ensuring accuracy in architectural representation. The culmination of activities and exercises reinforces the practical applications of theoretical concepts in real-world construction scenarios.
