Figure 1: Wind Zone Map of the Philippines
Wind load will be calculated as per NSCP 2001:
Section 207: Wind Load
The structure is located at Zone II of the Wind Zone Map of the Philippines.
A basic wind speed (V) of 250 km/hr is to be considered.
Design wind pressure, p = q.GCp – qh.(GCpi)1.2
Where:
q = qz for windward wall at height z above ground,
qh for leeward wall, side walls and roof at mean roof height
G = given in Section 207.6.1 NSCP 2007
Cp = given in Figure 207-3 of NSCP 2007
GCpi = given in Table 207-4 of NSCP 2007
Velocity Pressure,qz = 47.3x10-6 Kz
Kzt V2
Iw
Kz = Refer to Table 207-3
Kzt = Refer to Section 207.5.5
V = in km/hr: Refer to Section 207.5.2
Iw = 1.0 (Special Occupancy)
Exposure Type B: Urban and suburban areas, wooded areas, or other terrain with numerous
closely spaced obstructions having the size of single-family dwellings or larger. Use of this
exposure category shall be limited to those areas for which terrain representative of Exposure B
prevails in the upwind direction for a distance of at least 0.5 km or 10 times the height of the
building or other structure, whichever is greater.
Internal Pressure Coefficients for Buildings, GCpi
The structure is located in typhoon-prone regions having a basic wind speed greater than or
equal to 250 km/hr
GCpi = +0.80
GCpi = -0.30
Static Seismic Loads
In accordance with the requirements of UBC 1997:

Seismic Loads are determined in accordance with the dynamic lateral load procedure of the Uniform
Building Code 1997. The Philippines is located in Seismic Zone 4. The seismic design parameters will be based
on the recommendation by the Geotechnical consultant. The base shear determined from this analysis is
compared to the static base shear and the analysis results are scaled in accordance with UBC.
For static force base shear, the following coefficients are used:
V= Cv I W / Rw T
Where:
I = 1.0 Cv = 0.6720
Z = 0.40 T = 1.4760
Rw = 8.50
V = (0.6720)(1.0)(W) / (8.5)(1.4760)
= 0.0536W
Foundation
The proposed structure will be designed based on the recommendation of NSCP 2010 Section 304 – Allowable
Foundation and Lateral Pressures.
Load Combinations
1. Definitions:
D = Dead load
L = Live Load (net reduced live load after coefficient is applied), including roof live load
W = Wind load
E = Seismic load
H = loads due to weight and pressure of soil, water in soil, or other material.
2. Steel elements: factored loads and forces

The following combinations are from AISC 9th Edition:
UDSTL1 =D+L
UDSTL 2 = D + SDL + L
UDSTL 3 = D + SDL + 0.75(L+W)
UDSTL 4 = D + SDL + 0.75(L-W)
UDSTL 5 = D + SDL + W
UDSTL 6 = D + SDL – W
UDSTL 7 = 0.6D + 0.6SDL +W
UDSTL 8 = 0.6D + 0.6SDL –W
3. Concrete elements: factored loads and forces
The following combinations are from UBC-97:
U = 1.4D + 1.7L
U = 0.75 (1.4D + 1.7 L ± 1.7W)
U = 0.90D ± 1.3W
From UBC-97, Section 1612:
U = 1.2D + 1.0L ± 1.0E (for public assembly with LL > 4.9KPa and garages)
U = 1.2D + 0.5L ± 1.0E E = Eh + 0.20D
U = 0.9D ± 1.0E
*U = 1.3D + 1.1L ± 1.1E *Concrete

*U = 1.3D + 0.55L ± 1.1E
*U = 0.9D ± 1.1E
For members with lateral earth pressures:
U = 1.4D + 1.7L + 1.7H

U = 0.9D + 1.7H
U = 1.2D + 1.0L ± 1.0E + 1.6H (for public assembly with LL > 4.9KPa and garages)
U = 1.2D + 0.5L ± 1.0E + 1.6H
4. Foundation loads: service loads and forces

The following combinations are from UBC-97:
D+L D + 0.75 (L ± W)
D±W 0.9D ± E/1.4 D + 0.75 (L ± E/1.4)
V. Deflection Criteria
Lateral Deflection
Wind load case:
Overall Deflection < Height / 500

Inter-Storey Drift < Storey height / 400
Seismic load case:
Overall Deflection < Height / 400
Inter-Storey Drift (Maximum
Inelastic Response
Displacement) < 0.02 x Storey height if
T>0.70 sec
0.025 x Storey Height if
T<0.70 sec
Vertical Deflection of Beams and Slabs due to Gravity Loads
Total Deflection (DL + LL) < Span/250 up to 25mm

Live Load Deflection < Span/360
Incremental Deflection after
Finishes < Span/500 or 20 mm, application
of whichever is lesser
VI. METHOD OF ANALYSIS & DESIGN SOFTWARES
A. Method of Analysis
Gravity loads such as self-weight, super-imposed dead loads, and live loads, are applied directly on the floor area
elements, where applicable. Wind load is applied on the model through its rigid diaphragm. Seismic load is considered
by utilizing the elastic dynamic analysis, i.e. Response
Spectrum Analysis.
Design of structural elements like walls and columns will be performed using STAAD RCDC program.
Structural steel members shall be reviewed in accordance with the various provisions of AISC. Design and
analysis of steel members will be performed using STAAD.PRO software. The members will be proportioned to resist
the design loads without exceeding the limit states of strength and stability. The loads and load combinations will be as
per the provisions given in UBC Codes.
The foundation will be reviewed using the STAAD RCDC software. The applied reactions will be extracted
from the Staad.PRO software output
Design tools, such as developed in-house spreadsheets, will also be used for the review of individual steel
elements.
