Assignment Building Design

The document discusses rules and provisions from the National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP) regarding the use of computers in building design, documentation requirements, and penalties for non-compliance. It also addresses efficient use of computers for computations, maintenance of signs, structural standards, and that the NBCP should be followed by all engineering fields involved in building projects, not just civil engineering, to ensure safety and quality.

1.

From Rule 19 of the NBCP, what can you infer about the program documentation by using the
computer?
In accordance with the Rule 9 of the National Building Code of the Philippines which was the
use of computers, I can infer or conclude about the program documentation with the use of
computer was that all there must detailed documentation with regards to this matter and
transparency was highly given importance.
2. Do a research on this: What might possibly happen if the general rule about the uses of a
computer in designing a building is violated?
If the general rule about the uses of a computer in designing a building is violated, there are
corresponding penalties or punishment for National Building Code of the Philippines was made
to be fully conformed.

3. Is using a computer-generated computation efficient when designing a building? Why or why

not?
Yes. It is for the reason that computers are programmed to be able to provide an accurate and
minimal margin of erroneous result. Computers tends to posits these programs that are free from
the manipulation of humans and if we deal on the computation matters, we could infer that
efficiency and precision were very evident.
4. In Rule 20, how are signs maintained?
All signs, together with all of their supports, braces, guys, and anchors, are maintained in
accordance to the Rule 20 on which it shall be kept in repair and in proper state of preservation.
The display of all signs shall be kept neatly painted and secured at all times.
5. What is the most common standard mentioned on the supports and anchorages of signs?
The supports and anchorages of all signs or sign structures shall be placed in or upon private
property and shall be constructed in conformity with the requirements of the Code.
6. Roof signs shall conform to what types of provisions?
The design and construction of roof signs shall conform to the provisions of Sec. 1210 of the
Code.
7. As for the structural steel material of signs, what does ASTM A 36 refers to?
ASTM A 36 refers to a type of structural carbon steel which conforms on the standard
specification by the American Society of Testing and Materials that was also widely used and
prescribed.
8. What is a no-no for the projections and clearances of signs?
9. Do you think that the National Building Code of the Philippines should be carefully followed
and familiarized in the field of Civil Engineering only? Why?
No. In my own perspective, I don’t think that the National Building Code of the Philippines
should be carefully followed and familiarized in the field of Civil Engineering only for the reason
that the National Building Code of the Philippines encompasses all specified uniform standards
and requirements that were enforced or must be conformed on a certain building. We are fully
aware that upon the creation a certain project or a building there are several professionals that
were involved not just solely the Civil Engineers but also the Architects, Mechanical Engineers,
Electrical Engineers and many others. In order to be able to achieve the purpose of this code
which was to safeguard life, health, property and public welfare through assuring the quality of
the building, there must be a hand in hand and full coordination among other professionals also.
