AND
DESIGN CRITERIA
REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
Material Strength
The following material strengths shall follow the specification used for the 2-storey building i.e.
Material Properties
Minimum Concrete Compressive Strength, (fc)
Columns: fc = 3000 psi (21 MPa)
Beams: fc = 3000 psi (21 MPa)
Slabs: fc = 3000 psi (21 MPa)
Footing: fc = 3000 psi (21 MPa)
Reinforcement steel bars shall be deformed and shall conform to ASTM 615
Loads
Design loads and forces are those resulting from self-weight of the building including all other
permanent loads referred to us the dead loads. Occupancy or non-permanent loads referred to as
the live loads, and earth quake loads as sometimes called as seismic loads acting in most critical
combinations using the appropriate load factors as recommended by the governing National
Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP2015).
Dead Loads consist of the weight of all materials of construction incorporated into the
building or other structure, including but not limited to walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, stairways,
built-in partitions, finishes, cladding and other similarly incorporated architectural and structural
items, and fixed service equipment, including the weight of cranes.
REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN
Live Loads shall be the maximum loads expected by the intended use or occupancy but in no
case shall be less than the loads required by the tables below;
Table 205-1 (Minimum Uniform and Concentrated Live Loads) of NSCP 2015
Seismic Loads the vibratory ground motion caused by the earthquake can have damaging
effects on structure and can even lead to collapse. It is extremely important to consider seismic
effect in the design of the building in the Philippines because of the fact that the country generally
falls in a high seismic-risk zone.
Soil Type must confirm to table 208-2 of NSCP 2015 7th edition
