CHAPTER 2: DESIGN INPUTS
The building is for educational purposes which consist of two stairs and one elevator located beside the
guidance and administration office. The figure shows the geometric model the of the main frame system of
the five-storey school building. The figure is modelled through STAAD software that will also be used on
analysing the structure.
The classification of the five-storey school building is based on the National Structural Code of the
Philippines 2010. It is important to classify the category of the building according to its occupancy for determining the
necessary parameters for earthquake and seismic analysis. The classification of the building is Category III which is
categorized as Special Occupancy Structure.
The designers classified the occupancy of the structure based on the codes provided by National Structural Code of
the Philippines. It is significant for the structure to be categorized according to its occupancy for it will be the basis for
the parameters necessary for seismic and earthquake analysis. As for the educational building, it is categorized as
Special Occupancy Structure.

3. 1 Design Constraints
Constraints are factors that hinder the progress of a project construction. It is necessary to recognize these
constraints and provide solutions to address them.
1. Economic Constraint (Material Cost): The project is needed to be constructed effectively using only
the allotted budget. This will be done by estimating the cost of the materials that will be used in
constructing the structure. The Special Moment Resisting Frame, the Dual Frame Wall System and the
Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame are the options to be compared to identify which framing system will
turn out to be the most economical option.
3. Serviceability Constraint (Settlement): The structure should be design not only with its strength but
also with its capability to resist phenomenon like earthquake. In this constraint, the designers will compare
the trade-offs to choose which system is capable of reducing the deflection to satisfy the costumer with
the structural integrity of the building.
4. Environmental Constraint (Resistance to Story Drifts): In this constraint, the resistance of the
structural framing system will be identified when it is subjected to lateral forces. The lateral loads are
critical and must be reduced as possible. Lateral deflections will be determine by having a comparative
analysis between the trade-offs.
After considering the design constraints, the designer must present trade-offs and evaluate
whether to use Special Moment Resisting Frame, Dual Frame Wall System or Ordinary Moment Resisting
Frame. After the assessment, the frame that conforms to the design considering the said constraints herein
will be chosen.
3.2 Trade-offs
http://www.abkj.com/uploads/small/4fed13261e889__0029_alyeska-2.jpg
Moment-resisting frames are rectilinear assemblages of beams and columns, with the beams rigidly connected to the
columns. Resistance to lateral forces is provided primarily by rigid frame action-that is, by the development of
bending moment and shear force in the frame members and joints.
https://www.nexus.globalquakemodel.org/gem-building-taxonomy/overview/glossary/dual-frame-wall-system--ldual
Dual Systems are nowadays perhaps most frequently used structural solution for high and super-high-rise
seismic prone buildings. (Crainic & Munteanu, 2012)
http://nisee.berkeley.edu/elibrary/getpkg?id=GoddenF69-70
The Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame (OMRF) is a moment resisting frame not meeting special detailing
requirements for ductile behavior.
In considering design constraints, trade-offs were provided by the designers that have a significant effect on the
structural design of the school building. The Trade Offs is based on the constraints stated on the Chapter 3.1 Design
Constraints. These are listed in Table 3-1. To make an option for the client to choose which framing system will be
use.
The designer used the model on trade-off strategies in engineering design by Otto and Antonsson (1991), scaled the
criterion’s importance from 0 to 5, 5 being the highest and likewise, to satisfy the ability of the criterion it was scaled
also from 0 to 5, and 5 being the highest.
Computation of ranking for ability to satisfy criterion of materials:
Equation 0-1
Higher value−Lower value
% difference = Lower value
×10
Equation 0-2
The governing rank is the subjective value set by the designer. It depends on the designer own discrepancy on
ranking the importance of each constraint. The subordinate rank in Equation 3-2 is a variable that corresponds to
its percentage distance from the governing rank along the ranking scale.
1. Economic (Cost) 5 -1 1 3
2. Constructability (Duration) 4 2 3 5
3.Serviceability (Deflection) 4 5 3 2
Over-all Rank 43 33 39
*Reference: Otto, K. N. and Antonsson, E. K., (1991). Trade-off strategies in engineering design.
Since the criterion’s importance is subjective, its value will then depend on the client’s and designers’ decision.
The economic constraint was given an importance value of five (5) because the client wanted the project to have the
least cost framing system. An importance value of four (4) is then given to both constructability, serviceability and
environmental constraints since it is desired that the construction of the project should be done on the shortest possible
time and the design should resist the deflection and story drifts.
Based on the initial cost estimates calculated by the designer, it turned out that Ordinary Moment
Resisting Frame (OMRF) costs cheaper than the Special Moment Resisting frame and Dual Frame
Wall System because these systems need more volume of concrete to construct the building.
Comparing the three trade-offs, the OMRF got the shortest time to be constructed than DFWS and
SMRF. Based on the initial estimation of time, DFWS and SMRF require more man-hours to be
done.
Ordinary Moment Resisting Frame will be designed with larger sections of beam and columns to be
able to meet the serviceability constraint. The other framing systems were built with shear walls
where it results to the increasing of stiffness of the structure that results to cause a smaller
deflection.
As for the environmental constraint, Dual System is more reliable in resisting earthquakes however
SMRF has also a grade of about nearer but less than that of Dual System
The designer provided initial cost estimates for both framing system. From these estimates, the designer can
come up with which of the two framing system is more efficient for the stated constraints. The initial cost
estimates were elaborated in Appendix B of this paper. The designers consider the cost provided in the
Philippine Market.

3.3 Design Standards
The designers come up with the design of the hotel building with accordance to the following codes and standards:
The National Building Code of the Philippines (PD 1096).The National Building Code of the Philippines, also
known as Presidential Decree No. 1096 was formulated and adopted as a uniform building code to embody up-to-
date and modern technical knowledge on building design, construction, use, occupancy and maintenance. The
Code provides for all buildings and structures, a framework of minimum standards and requirements to regulate
and control location, site, design, and quality of materials, construction, use, occupancy, and maintenance.
The National Structural Code of the Philippines 2010.This code provides minimum standards to safeguard life or
limb, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials pertaining
to the structural aspects of all buildings and structures within its jurisdiction. The provision of this code shall apply to
the construction, alteration, moving, demolition, repair, maintenance and use of any building or structure within its
jurisdiction, except work located primarily in a public way, public utility towers and poles, hydraulic flood control
structures, and indigenous family dwellings.
Chapter 4: DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE
4.1 Methodology
The structure is designed as reinforced concrete using the method, Ultimate Strength Design (USD). The
designer assured that the design conforms to codes and standards stated in Chapter 3.
The design of the 5-storey school building’s structural elements is in accordance with the standards of National
Structural Code of the Philippines (2010). The design methodology used for the structural elements (beams, columns,
slabs and shear wall) is the Ultimate Strength Design Method. The building information model and analysis was
performed through computer software (STAAD).

3. Choose the dimensions of the cross section based on its shape. For rectangular section, the ratio of the longer
and shorter side is recommended to not exceed 3.
4. Readjust the reinforcement ratio by substituting the actual cross sectional area. The ration has to fall to the
specified code limits.
5. Calculate the needed area of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio based on the adjusted reinforced ratio and
the chosen concrete dimension.
6. Choose the number and diameter of needed reinforcing bars. For rectangular sections, a minimum of four
bars is needed.
7. Design the lateral reinforcement according to the type of column, either ties or spirals.
8. Check whether the spacing between longitudinal reinforcing bars satisfies the NSCP 2010 code requirements.

4.3 Validation of Multiple Constraints, Tradeoffs and Standards
In order to confirm the results of Designer’s Raw Ranking in Chapter 3, the designers had this validation of
tradeoffs. This validation will show the certainty of the assumptions done through the initial estimates
presented in Chapter 3 and compared it to the final cost estimates.
Based on the raw designer’s ranking presented in chapter 3 of this paper, the drafted tradeoffs were
compared through initial estimates. The result shows that the one that governs among the tradeoff is the
filler slab.

Chapter 5: Final Design
The final conclusion that was made by the designers after the series of comparative analysis was that the Ordinary
Moment Resisting Frame system will satisfy the client’s requirements more effectively than the Dual system. The final
design was in accordance with the National Building Code of the Philippines for the standards and specifications of the
architectural plan and National Structural Code of the Philippines 2010 for the structural plans and details. The
structural members that were considered by the designers were the beams or girders, slabs and columns.
The tables and figures presented below are the structural schedules and details of the Ordinary Moment Resisting
Frame obtained from the previous chapters. The manual computation of the structural elements were presented in the
Appendix.

5.3 Slab Schedule and Details
The subject reinforced concrete design had me hoping that I’d take it only just this once. The course itself is
time consuming and requires unbelievably long patience for long hours of problem solving but ending up on a wrong
answer. And it is worth it, the learning is worth it. This course makes me realize that I’m walking the right path to my
dream of becoming an engineer. That this path is not always as smooth as you know, there are more unpaved road
and obstacles along the way.
Having perseverance and inner self-motivating thoughts while reviewing because there will come a time that
your review will be a waste and non-productive. Those times are the hardest; thinking that it’s easier to give up
practice solving problems than to hold onto it for a while.There will be times that the lessons don’t come in handy, or
just it wasn’t enough, going to classes wasn’t always enough. Giving extra effort and extra time for review and
reading materials and you’ll see that the hardwork will pay-off.
The product of the late night reviews and practice is bound to be seen in our outputs but sometimes or most
of the times it will not. I don’t know what happened in those cases but sometimes working hard is just a piece of it, or
rather a part of it. You can just sit down, assess what happened, accept it and move on because that’s not always the
case. One thing is for sure, if you’re working hard and aiming for excellence, success awaits you.
