Structural Analysis: Proposed Three (3) Storeys Residential
Structural Analysis: Proposed Three (3) Storeys Residential
It is the full intention of the Engineer that these calculations conform to the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015; 7 th
Edition. Volume 1; Buildings, Towers, and other Vertical Structures; C101-15, ISSN 2094-5477.
These calculations shall govern the structural portion of the working drawings. However, where any discrepancies occur between
these calculations and the working drawings, the Engineer shall be notified immediately so proper action may be taken. The
structural computations included here are for the analysis and design of the primary structural system.
The attachment of non-structural elements is the responsibility of the Architect or designer, unless specifically shown otherwise. The
Engineer assumes no responsibility for work not a part of these calculations. When structural observation or field investigation is
required, the Architect or contractor shall make separate special arrangements with the Engineer.

SUPERIMPOSED DEAD LOADS
Interior and Exterior Partitions
o 100mm thick Concrete Hollow Block, plastered both faces = 2.11 kPa

Floor Tile Finish on 25mm mortar bed = 0.77 kPa
Cement Plaster = 0.24 kPa
Utilities
o HVAC, Electrical Lighting and Fixtures, Plumbing Fixtures = 0.24 kPa
Ceiling System (Joists and Furring included) = 0.24 kPa
Waterproofing Membrane with topping = 1.00 kPa
Steel Truss = 0.15 kPa

LOAD COMBINATIONS
N.S.C.P. 2010, 6th Edition Provision 203.5 (Special Seismic Load Combinations)
U = 1.2D + f1L +1.0EM
U = 0.9D ± 1.0EM
Where:
f1 = 1.00 for floors in public assembly, for live loads in excess of 4.8 kPa, and for garage live load
= 0.50 for other live loads
EM = estimated maximum earthquake force that can be developed in the structure.
D = dead load
L = live load
