The scale gives the ratiothat compares the measurements of the drawing or model withthe actual measurements.Study Tip1 in.10 miScales are writtenso that the drawingdistance comes first inthe ratio.drawing distance—1 in. : 10 miactual distancedrawingEXAMPLE1actualFinding an Actual DistanceWhat is the actual distance d between Cadillac and Detroit?Marquette1 cm : 50 miEscanabaStep 1: Use a centimeter ruler tofind the distance on the mapbetween Cadillac and Detroit.The map distance is about3.5 centimeters.Step 2: Use the scale to write and solvea proportion.map distance1 cm3.5 cm— —50 mid miactual distance AlpenaTraverse Cityd 50 3.5Cross Products Propertyd KalamazooAnnArborDetroitSo, the distance between Cadillac and Detroit is about 175 miles.1.

12.2 ENGINEERING DRAWINGS Successful bridge fabrication and construction depend on the accuracy and completeness of the engineering drawings. Two types of drawings are normally used: design drawings and shop drawings. Design drawings show the structure configuration and provide information necessary for field assembly.
Planar Drawings A planar drawing is a drawing in which edges do not intersect each other in the drawing (for example, the drawings (a), (b), and (c) in Figure 5.1 are planar drawings, and the drawing (d) is a non-planar drawing). Planar drawings are normally easier to understand than non-planar drawings, i.e., drawings with edge-crossings .
