Key Points • Elevation View • Plan View • Footprints • Foundation • Stress • Safety Factor
An Elevation View • Is an orthographic 2-D drawing of the above-ground portion of a structure.
A Plan View • Shows the top-down view of the structure
Footprint • Is the area contained within the perimeter of the building
A foundation • Transmits loads from the structure to the ground. • Foundations usually extend underground.
Stress and a safety factor • When determining the live load a building must be able to support, engineers refer to code that is listed as load per unit area, or stress. • A safety factor is a factor by which a maximum likely stress is multiplied in order to ensure the safety of the structure.
