- It is important to know How to read Structural Steel Drawings, and it isn't something that is covered during university. When starting out reading structural drawings can seem overly complex, however, when you break down steel documentation the drawings are not that complex when you break them down.
I will also be going through how to push your steel drawings into the modern age of BIM that will not only simplify your structural steel drawings but also improve your QA and make your steel drawings easier to check.

My name is Brendan, and I am a structural engineer with over 15 years of experience in Australia. I have a wide variety of projects, from very small to some of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. I have a passion for good structural design and teaching/mentoring.
This channel is to share my passion for engineering and provide entertaining short clips on:
- tips for young engineers on progressing their careers
- anyone needing a refresher on any design element
- design approaches
- Review past engineering failures to improve structural knowledge

Great, practical video Brendan. I used to annotate all my members with their full descriptions. Using abbreviations and "Marks" makes for better drawings without the clutter.
Hi Theuns, I agree that the abbreviated annotations are excellent. I had lots of steel fabricators comment on how easy it was to use. Passes on the same annotation as a full description but reduces the clutter.
It was so useful, thanks for uploading such amazing videos Brendan
Hi Amir, thanks for watching and your support.
I was talking about this twice today! Amazing timing!
Hi ScottishAl, glad to see you back. Happy that I can provide. Thanks for your support.
Amazing video with very interesting details. Keep up the good work Sir!
Hi Eagle Fan, thanks for your support. Glad you found it beneficial.
that was a great topic Brendan, keep up the good work.
Hi again Deepak, I will keep it up BTW it is Brendan =)
@@BrendanHasty gotcha
Thanks a lot, your explanations are really helpful
Hi Ataba, thanks for your support. Glad that I could help.
Thanks alot , this is very important since I am struggling reading drawings.
Hi Brooks, thanks for your support hope it made it easer.
cheers mate great topic - more of this please.
Hi Alian, thanks for your support. Already have several lined up should be out shortly.
@@BrendanHasty look forward to it
Thank you ❤
Great Channel Brendan, I 've just come accross it and already consumed a fair chuck of the content. Something I see as a gap of knowledge between the consulting industry and the steel fabrication industry is what is currently considered best practice in the steel fabrication industry and the move by industry to utilise advanced manufacturing technologies more. Drawings at some stage will be relied upon less by the fabrication industry and already I am seeing fab shops and steel detailing consultants around Australia move to a preference for smart models as their preferred deliverable. I would be interested to see some vids from you about your experience in this space.
Hi SMP, I agree that is the direction the industry is heading and linking Analysis to documentations and fabrication drawings. I think it is still many years off, but it is getting easier and easier to do. this would be a interesting topic to cover
@@BrendanHasty it's happening now Brendan, I have worked on projects where it was a contract requirement, one being a pilot project for a large BHP project. I'd be happy to share the experience.
Great video. Can you make more content like this !
Hi Fernando, there is another one dropping this week, in concrete drawing.
as always an awesome video. can you do a video on softwares that a structural engineer should know? thanks
Hi Karma, thanks for your support. I do have a video on the best structural design software czcams.com/video/ZloyGXxDFII/video.html it is an older video sorry for the quailty. That is a good idea for a video thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you 👌👌
Hi Kimmy thanks for watching.
I am a civil engineer but I have more experience as a project manager. However, my dream is to work as a structural engineer. I am considering doing a masters degree in structural engineering and you are very inspiring to me it makes me want to start my master now! Haha
Hi Samyvanegas, thanks for the support. Glad that my content has motivated you into considering structural engineering.
This is helpful for me
Hi Thanks for your support.
Do more of these. A vlog would be super cool when collaborating with architects. Would be Nice.
Hi De sign, thanks for your support. I have both already in the queue. a Vlog Style video is coming out tomorrow.
@@BrendanHasty nice! thanks!!
Amazing video sir
Hi Archita thank you for your support, hope it was helpful.
Sir I am civil engineering graduate .
Currently i do my specialisation in structural engineering .That type of videos are very help ful for us .Thank you sir .
Thanks for your great video(s). I would like to know the meaning of 'Ex' in expressions such as 'Ex 10mm ms plate...' Thanks in advance for your attention.
PS:
The term is usually found in structural steel drawings. I have not been able to find a good reference for this.
Very interesting. Can you tell me what are the tolerances allowed in structural steel?
Hi Igor, design tollarance would be 10 to 20mm. fabrication is lot less there is only about 4mm.
Hope you can talk more about this "how to read steel structure drawing" topic in more details, is this possible?
There are already several videos on the why, how to read concrete drawings and timber drawings.
Great. You have any Roof Truss Design.
Hi Stafford Biggs, thank for your support. I don't yet have a video on roof truss design
can you please share the drawings either in pdf for dwg format please
is CAD still being used for detailing or it is replaced by BIM(tekla ,revit e.t.c)
Hi Shazeb, most details are still 2D but in revit so basically cad. Complex steel details do get modelled in the 3D space and drawing have isometric views. In Australia revit is king at the moment tekla hasn't moved here in mass yet.
You should react to NYC the vessel.
Hi Asian Green, thanks for watching and suggestion. I will see what I can do
Hey As a 3rd yesr bachelor student doing civil engineering
What do you think i should focus more on to be good in this fielf
I want to major in structural eng
Kindly recommend some books too
Thank you
Hi, thanks for watching, when starting out focus on structural mechanics. But don't neglect communication skills written, spoken and documentation(drawing/schematics). Good luck in your studies.
I think it's not complicate like you doing. Unless you design it
Hi Tuan, agree when you break it down it isnt the complicated.
Can you provide the drawing? 😐
At the moment I don't have a form I can sent then out but hopefully in the future.
