What is general arrangement drawing of the steel frame?
General arrangement drawing (GA drawing) of the steel frame is a document with graphical representation that helps to understand the general arrangement of the steel frame elements in the project.The general arrangement drawings are developed at the earliest design stages.
GA drawing contains the following information:
- Floor plans and sections of the steel frame in coordinate axes
- Local sections, view, structural steel connection
- Profile type/mark and steel grade of steel frame elements
- Connection type of steel frame elements
- Dimensions
- Technical instructions

The aim of the general arrangement drawings is to help a official static engineer, customer or contractor to get an overview of a steel frame, bearing capacity and stability, interaction of the elements, technical solutions, connections of separate elements in structure of the building and to check if everything is correct.
