 CHAPTER 1: PROJECT BACKGROUND

1.1 The Project Background

“One of the concerns for our planned in-city relocation is our area, whether we have available space in QC
where we can construct houses for our informal settlers,” are the words of Quezon City Mayor Joy
Belmonte stressing the declining land area available for residential occupancy. This is also to emphasize
the continuous growth of the informal settlers in Quezon City which is currently estimated to be 190,000
families or approximately 950,000 individuals.

Based on the current register from the 2015 national census, the overall population of Quezon City is
2,936,116, hailing to be the most populous city in the Philippines. The demographic study of Quezon City is
projected to reach 3 million people in 2020 and 4 million between 2025 to 2030. Quezon City is also home
to the largest population of informal settlers mostly clustering together. The informal settlers form
communities specifically around dangerous areas like under bridges, along waterways and drainage,
obstructing private properties and government owned land.

“We will have to maximize our use of smaller spaces with a high-rise type of a residential structure,” the
Mayor also added. “That way, even though we have limited square meters of land, many families could still
benefit. I know this is something different but that’s the solution we think can solve the city’s housing
backlog,” Belmonte noted.

In line with the solution highlighted by the Mayor, the designers hereby propose the project, a Design of
Five- storey Low-cost High-rise Housing. The housing project has a capacity of catering 100 4-member
households and the design comprises of five stories with roof deck. The housing also includes common
facilities for use of residents such as recreational areas, lounges etc. The housing design project will be of
great help in realizing the solution that the government of Quezon City wants to implement. The design of
the Five -storey Low-cost High Rise Housing could diminish the number of informal settlers while maximizing
the land use

1.2 Project Location

The figure above shows the location of the Proposed Five Storey Low-Cost High Rise Housing in Novaliches, Quezon
City. The location of the proposed project is near the national road which makes travelling more convenient for the
tenants to transfer from place to other places. Our project location is a property of Local government of Quezon City.

1.3 Project client

The client of this project is the Local Government of Quezon City headed by Mayor Joy Belmonte. Currently,
Quezon City Mayor’s Office is active in implementing projects centering in housing programs to protect the
welfare and promote secured housing for Quezon City residents.

1.4 Project Objective

The designer aims to finish the following objectives:

1.4.1 General Objective

The main objective of the project is to design an economical and sustainable residential building that will
serve as relocation for the informal settlers around Quezon City or within Quezon City by designing the
five- storey high rise building based on engineering methods mainly design and standards, analyzing
and comparing the alternative based constraints such as economical, constructability and other possible
constraints for the informal settlers to have a safer and comfortable shelter.

1.4.2 Specific Objective

 To design a building with accordance to the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015 and
Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines 2004.
 To design and provide an architectural plan of five storey high rise building with the influence of
multiple constraints, trade-offs, and standards in the final design of five storey building.
 To provide a low cost high rise housing to fulfill and satisfy the basic need of people.
Project Scope & Limitation

1.6 Project Development Plan

The Designers prepared a Design of a five storey-low cost high rise housing area for the informal settlers of
Brgy Greater lagro Novaliches, Quezon City.

The Project Design will go through different stages. First is to determine the current problem that the
Designers aim to address in order to merge every single idea and formulate a solution to solve the existing
problem. The next process is conceptualization in designing the 5 storey residential high rise building. The
data will also serve as the evidence and basis for improvement of the determination of Project Design. Next
is data gathering to be used as inputs in the design project. The data will also be the basis for whether the
Design is effective enough to meet the level of safety and durability. There are specific design standards
that are required to follow before coming up to the design which is the NSCP and NBCP. The designer also
considered the design constraints which later on will be the competing criteria to come up with our i nitial
design.
After designing the three (3) alternatives, the designers come up with the final design which is more
efficient in accordance to the constraint.

The following steps will be systematic approach and these are:

1. Identifying the Problems - The designers identified the problem based on contemporary and
current issues regarding informal settlers in around Quezon City. As the solution to the problem, relocation
of the said settlers in the main issue of the problem.

2. Conceptualization - the designers conceptualized a design a five-storey building considering

different inputs such as strengthening design process, materials and construction techniques, purpose,
ground characteristics and set of standards provided in the Philippines.

3. Data Gathering - After conceptualization, available data are gathered on the said topic and review
of related concepts take place in order to begin the project with its problems and possible solutions.

4. Constraints and Standards - the designers identify and select hindrances that affect the formulation of
the design so that in the early stage the constraints will be lessened. Each conceivable constraints and
standards are considered in order to formulate solutions.
5. Trade-offs - the designers will provide possible alternatives to solve the evident problem
considering the constraints.

6. Design of Trade-offs - There will be a provide design for each tradeoff to properly explain each of
its capabilities and advantages.

7. Evaluation of Results - After presenting each tradeoff with their specific aspects; results will be
compared and evaluated in order to come up with the most efficient alternative.

8. Final Design - The final design is based on the most efficient and effective result evaluated by the
designers.
 CHAPTER 2: DESIGN INPUTS AND REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Design Criteria

The designers gathered data from various institutions and department agencies to help them have a definite
parameter that will enable them to identify constraints and tradeoffs that will be used further in project
designing.

2.4.1 Dead Load

Dead loads are gravity loads of constant magnitudes and fixed position that act permanently on the
structure. Such loads consist of self-weight of the structural system and of all material and equipment
permanently attached to the structural system.

The minimum design loads were selected based from the National Structural Code of the Philippines
(NSCP) 2015 Table 204-2. The values selected are associated based on our design structure.

The following were the steps used in determining the design dead loads:

PART I. Choosing of Minimum Design Dead Loads

We select the values of minimum design dead loads on Table 204-2 in NSCP 2015 which corresponds
to our design structure. Select values for each corresponding components, ceilings, coverings (roof
and wall), floor and floor finishes and frame partitions.

COMPONENT LOAD (kPa)

Gypsum Board 0.008

Mechanical duct Allowance 0.2

Suspended steel channel system 0.12

FLOOR FINISHES

Cement Finish 1.53

Asphalt Tile 0.05

Ceramic Quarry Tile 1.1

MANSORY

Plastering (Both Sides) 0.24

 2.4.2 Live Load

Live loads are loads of varying magnitudes and/or positions caused by the use of the structure. Live loads
for building are usually specified as uniformly distributed surface loads in kilopascals.

The minimum design live loads were selected based from the National Structural Code of the Philippines
(NSCP) 2015 Table 205-1. The values selected are associated based on our design structure which only
includes residential with basic floor area and roof deck values only.

COMPONENT LOAD (kPa)

Total Load

Basic Floor Area 1.9

2.4.3 Wind Load

The magnitudes of wind loads that may act on a structure depends on the geographical location of
the structure, obstruction in its surrounding terrain, such as nearby buildings, and the geometry and the
vibrational characteristics of the structure itself.

The wind load calculation is based on NSCP 2015. Different parameters needed were based on
the tables and provided by the code. The values of wind loads for both transverse and longitudinal frames
are equal since the height and dimensions of the structure are the same.

The following were the steps used in determining the design wind loads:

1. The basic wind speed V and wind directionality factor 𝑘𝑑 shall be determined in accordance with
Section 207A.5.1 and Table 207A.6 respectively.

 Since the location is Quezon City, the corresponding basic wind speed was 200 kph. 𝐾𝑑 was
determined based on the type of structure which was Main Wind Force Resisting System
(MWFRS) with a value of 0.85.
2. An importance factor 𝐼𝑤 shall be determined in accordance with Section Table 208-1.
 Residential buildings belong to standard type of occupancy which has an importance factor of 1.0

3. An exposure category or exposure categories and velocity pressure exposure coefficient 𝑘𝑧 shall be
determined for each wind direction in accordance with Section 207B.3-1
Surface Roughness Category B. Urban and sub-urban areas, wood area or other terrain with

Seismic Response of 2D and 3D building incorporating buckling-restrained and self-centering

bracing system according to Christopoulus et al. (2008) The purposed of this study is to
differentiate the seismic response to two non-linear seismic force resisting system that will be
used in low to mid to rise steel structure. An advanced cross bracing system is to utilized to
reinforce structures in which diagonal supports intersect. Cross bracing can increase a building
capability to with stand seismic activity has been used in University of Toronto called (SCEDs)
Self centering energy dissipating frames, same in special moment resisting frames and
Buckling reinforced braced frames, they also dissipate energy, but they have self-absorbed
capabilities which reduce residual building deformation after major seismic events. From a
journal paper Effect of configuration and lateral drift on high-rise space frames according to
(C.Y. Ho and G.G. Schierele (1990)). An intemperate lateral displacement or inter-story drift
causes the failure of both structural and non-structural elements in high-rise frames can
recompense secondary systems, such as partitions walls to generate secondary column stress
due to P-delta moments, and cause discomfort to building occupants under prolonged cyclical
drift. Failure to secondary system can be controlled by reducing drift. As stated by (E.M. Hines
and C.C. Jacob et.al (2009)) The seismic performance of low-ductility steel systems designed
for moderate seismic regions have bring out new interest in the cost-effective design of ductile
systems for such regions. Although eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) a new lateral force
resisting system developed to resist seismic events in a predictable manner, Eccentrically
Braced Frames (EBFs) are known for their attractive combination of high elastic stiffness and
superior inelastic performance characteristics (AISC 2005). In the opinion of (K.G.Vishwanath
(2010)) Introduce the “Seismic response of Steel braced reinforced concrete frames” in
International journal of civil and structural engineering 2010 . A four-storey building was taken in
seismic zone 4 according to IS 1893: 2002. The performance of the building is evaluated
according to story drift. Then the study is extended to eight story and twelve story. X type of
steel bracing is found out to be mostefficient. In additional The typical failure mode occurred by
special momentresisting frames with bracing that will damage the braces, brace to frame
connections, columns and with base plates were stud ied (Hanson and Martin (1987); Kelly et al.

The National Museum tree of life the (PNS Advanced Steel Technology, Inc. (December 2015)) construct
a special steel structure technology is used to construct beautiful and dynamic large spaces, such as
soccer stadiums and other types of athletic event space. The design was inspired by natural history and
man’s wanting to understand nature and his place in it,” Galicia said. “Throughout civilizations, the tree has
been an anchor idea in the Book of Genesis and in Charles Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species.’ Even in our
indigenous iconography, the Tree of Life motif is found in the arts of the Mangyan, Maranaw and Ifugao.
The design was carry out everything from structural design to fabrication and construction work, utilizing the
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Group’s unique technology making and using steel. In additional project in
Okada Manila Steel Dome same technology used by the PNS Advanced Steel Technology, Inc, the steel
structure technologies which made a super long span and super high rise structures. They are based on
our world-class raw material technology fostered by our steel making business, and it enables us to
execute any process from structural design to fabrication and construction work reliably. Investigation of the
strength of Cold-Formed Steel C-section in Compression, according to A.P Yu and Dr. B. Lejano (2014) In
this investigation, they justified experimentally and computationally the performance of C-shaped Cold-
Formed Steel C-section (CFS) when it is subjected to compression load and considering buckling. Cold -
Formed steel has an efficient load carrying capabilities while being a lightweight construction material that
is why it is considered to be an excellent and reliable structural material. There were locally-produced CFS
which is a good thing in the construction industry. Some construction firm in the Philippines they following
foreign standards and guides despite the lack of knowledge regarding the structural performance of locally-
produced CFS. This guide the researchers to give some information in its structural performance and to
gather the experimental and computational results. As stated by the (Regan Industrial Sales Inc.) Steel
bridges was the connection of cities and provinces and stated the important eras that helped innovate steel
bridge construction and design. The first is Industrial Revolution, the forms of modern steel bridges began
during the industrial revolution with the introduction of the steam engine, the railroad, along with the
establishment of some of the world’s first factories, the ability to construct larger and stronger structures
with the use of steel has now become possible, the second the 20th century saw the widespread use of
steel as construction material, which not only helped build more steel bridges but they figure out that they
could use for other purposes build the world’s first skyscrapers. These impressive construction projects not
only push the boundaries of construction but also helped in the economic progress and development of
various countries, making transportation of people and supplies across different regions possible. From
connecting communities over large bodies of water to making high-elevation areas easier to navigate, the
steel bridge has proven to be a structure that is able to withstand the rigors of harsh elements and daily
use.
