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

Wind Load Determination

Philippines is both a typhoon and earthquake prone country. That is, wind load determination is part of structural design. NSCP patterned the provision from ASCE 7-05.
Download NOW the spreadsheet and study now to understand the provisions in the code. Great reference for aspiring structural engineers.

Seismic and Wind Design of Concrete Building

Reading this book and applying the methods here is like designing for buildings under our NSCP code. Although the author uses IBC, as opposed to NSCP following UBC 1997, the design procedure and concrete provision explained in the book is very similar to NSCP.
