In many cases architects are stretching engineering design to develop unique design.

In order to develop a building that can withstand the loading conditions it might undergo during and post construction, it is important to bear in mind certain structural drafting considerations.
Structural Drafting
- Structural components like columns, beams and slabs, have a grave impact on the development of structural framework. Hence it is important that the steel detailing for these components is done meticulously. The fabrication drawings should be made to perfection, and further QA/QC process should also be followed without fail. This way the fabricated components will be of better quality and deliver the best performance and hence ensure that a better structure is erected.
- Steel detailing for individual columns and their fabrication is important; however the positioning of these columns within the structural ecosystem is also of great significance. Due attention should be given to this and positioning of columns should be developed based on engineering principles to reduce the bending moments in structural Beams and to support a robust structure.
- Detailing for beam structures should also undergo thorough QA/QC checks, and their positioning should also be engineered to fortify the structure.
- All the load resisting elements should be well fabricated and positioned to impart strength, stability and robustness to the structural framework, so that it can easily withstand and transmit loads.
- Structural design includes detailing, drafting, modelling and analysis based on which the design is optimized for better performance.
In order to develop a structure that withstands all kinds of opposing forces and all types of dead loads and live loads, accurate load calculations need to be carried out. These load calculations can help determine load bearing capacity of individual structural elements and the entire structural framework.
Meticulous detailing and structural drafting will set the wheel of high quality work rolling, and will cascade into better fabrication, installation and erection of building structures.
I have mentioned all the common considerations that should go into detailing a structural design.
