Design of Reinforced Concrete Building According to NSCP

This slide shows a general outline of procedure to design a building according to NSCP.

The outline of presentation is below:

1. Reclassification of structures
• School building for example is now under Essential facilities because it is used as evacuation center. Increase in importance factor will increase the base shear the building is designed.
2. Review of loading requirements and changes
• A kd factor in wind loading is now included. Zoning of Wind map for Philippines is not only shown in the map but is now tabulated to avoid confusion.
3. Design Criteria
4. Sample Problem Structural Systems
5. P Delta effects and maximum inelastic drift
6. Loading combinations
7. Design of Beams
8. Design of Columns
9. Design of Shear walls
10. Scaling of static and dynamic base shear

Structural Dynamics by Anil K. Chopra

If you want to understand earthquake engineering code provisions in NSCP and also the UBC, a better advantage is to study structural dynamics principles. The considered bible book for this topic is Anil k. Chopra's Structural Dynamics..

Matrix Structural Analysis by Aslam Kassimali

Ever wondered how ETABS or STAAD determines the forces in the building model?

This book will teach you the Stiffness Method of Structural Analysis. Reading this book will help you understand the ins and outs in the structural engineering softwares. Its not enough for you to know the software to say that you are a structural engineer, you should know the background behind this softwares..
