DESIGN TRADE-OFFS

The National Library of the Philippines complex, located in Ermita on a portion of Rizal Park facing
T.M. Kalaw Avenue is to be designed using Reinforced Concrete Design (RCD) - using concrete materials
and steel reinforcement bars, and Structural Steel Design (SSD). Ultimate Strength Design (USD) and
Working Stress Design (WSD) will undergo comparison through the design constraints for reinforced
concrete while Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) for
structural steel.

TRADE OFFS

On all the Raw Designer Ranking Tables that will be presented on this chapter, Economic (cost)
consideration will be given the highest rank of fifty percent (50%) since the cost is the varying constraint
among others. It is the collective cost composed primarily of the materials, labor, and management, thus,
making the decisions on the last two constraints dependent to it.

The next constraint to the Economic is the Safety will be given the rank of thirty percent (30%). As
designers, it is expected that every design should pass the parameters concerning safety and capacity of
the section. Therefore, it is assumed that all the design must be adequate to carry the imposed loads. It is
also assumed that all the design is all qualified to the requirement stated in the National Building Code of
the Philippines.

Finally, the last constraint, which is the Constructability, will be given the rank of twenty percent
(20%). For it will show the duration of the project.

The results will undergo analysis on which design method is fits best with the design constraints
that help effective project completion. The Final Design will be based on the designer’s ranking with
regards to design constraints.

Labor Cost Php 2,128.6862 1,856.4772

Total Cost Php 16,228.9112 26,422.5422

Table 4.6.1 shows the resulting section of 6C-1. Being designed using USD under RCD and LRFD
under Structural Steel Design methods. RCD yields section 850x850 mm, while W16x36 section for SSD.
The table shows the cost estimate that includes labor and material cost. Using RCD, the section is
estimated to cost Php 16,228.9112, while Php 26,422.5422 for SSD method.
Comparing the two design methods, it can be therefore concluded that RCD is more economical
compared to SSD.

Table 4.6.2 shows the comparison of moment capacity and design moment of 6C-1 using USD for
RCD with a section of 850X850 mm and LRFD for SSD with section W16X36 and a height of 3.0 m.
The table shows the factors of safety for USD and LRFD methods. For RCD, the factor of safety is
7.17, while 5.23 for SSD
It clearly shows that the RCD produced greater factor of safety compared to SSD.

Table 4.6.3 shows the duration in days of the construction for column no. 21 in the 6 th floor. The
beam is designed using USD under RCD and LRFD under Structural Steel Design methods. RCD yields
section 850X850 mm,and W16X36 respectively.
The table shows the estimate duration of the installation of the beam 6C-1. Using RCD, it is
estimated that the beam will require 1.8 days to be installed while using SSD, the beam will require around
1.36 days to install in its place.
Comparing the two design methods, it can be therefore concluded that SSD is quicker to construct
compared to RCD.

Overall Rank 475.6 363

Table 4.6.4 shows the Raw Designer Ranking on the USD and LRFD. The cost of USD is more economical
than LRFD, thus ranked 5, while the LRFD ranked 3.07. The USD provides a higher percentage of safety
compared to LRFD, thus, ranked 5 while LRFD 3.65. In duration, the LRFD requires only 1.36 days while
the USD requires 1.8 days, therefore LRFD ranked 5 while USD 3.78.
Using the standard weighted sum matrix analysis of Alger and Hays (as cited by Otto and
Antonsson, 1991), the USD produces an overall rank of 475.6, LRFD produces an overall rank of 363. This
technique guided the designer to finally consider the Reinforced Concrete Design Technology using
Ultimate Strength Design for the column.
