Default Number and location of all ground straps

I have a 2012 Silverado. I would like some guidance on how many and their locations of the ground straps.

It would be helpful to know what you are attempting to accomplish, or if there's a problem you're trying to solve. Or even what you consider a "strap".
A vehicle has many grounds. Some large ones are woven like a strap (one usually goes from the engine to your frame.). Most grounds are normal wires.

Sorry about that. I randomly get a stabilitrac traction control code and display. I can pull over and shut the vehicle off for 2-3 minutes, restart and it’s normal again and could stay that way the rest of the day. Another issue that seems to be new is voltage drop at various times while driving. It’s been doing this for a few years and I’ve had it at regular shops and dealership. Just would like to eliminate the nuisance.

A vehicle has many, many grounds. There's only one ground that resembles a woven strap, and that one usually goes from somewhere lower on the engine to your frame.

What is "code and display"? Are you getting a warning message in the cluster? Have you run a diagnostic scan on the vehicle?

That could be the cause of your problems. Get your charging system load tested.
