Steel RCD Design Project Example Format

This document outlines the recommended format for a design project report, including sections on contents, constraints, tradeoffs, codes and standards, design methodology, and design results. It specifies fonts, margins, and chapter formats. It provides examples of quantitative and qualitative constraints, as well as recommended tradeoff combinations for structural steel and reinforced concrete designs. It emphasizes explaining the design process in terms of load analysis and member design, using flowcharts and spreadsheets or mathematical tools to show analysis and design results.

Constraints
• Constraints are factors that control the
engineering design of a structure. Apart from
strength and serviceability, other factors may
also be at play when it comes to deciding the
final design of the structure.
• Constraints are classified as:
– Quantitative constraints: Constraints that are
measurable or quantifiable
– Qualitative constraints: Constraints that cannot be
expressed in terms of numbers
Constraints
• For the design project, quantitative
constraints include (at least 3):
– Economic constraint
– Constructability constraint
– Sustainability constraint
– Risk assessment constraint
Constraints
• For the design project, qualitative constraints
include (at least 3):
– Aesthetic constraint
– Legal/political constraint
– Social constraint
Tradeoffs
• Tradeoffs are design suggestions that address
the design constraints.
– These are proposed solutions for the design
constraints.
• These tradeoffs must be based on:
– Common knowledge of design-related concepts
– Review of related literature
– Other relevant information
Tradeoffs
• (CE 014) For structural steel design, the
recommended tradeoffs are as follows:
– (Structural System: 1) SMRF
– (Beams & Girders: 2) W-Sections & HSS/Structural
Tubing
– (Columns: 2) W-Sections & HSS/Structural Tubing
– (Connections: 2) Bolted & Welded Connections
– (Foundation: 1) Isolated Footings
Tradeoffs
• (CE 015) For reinforced concrete design, the
recommended tradeoffs are as follows:
– (Structural System) SMRF
– (Slab) One-Way Slabs & Two-Way Slabs
– (Beams & Girders) Rectangular Section
– (Columns) Square Section & Circular Section
– (Foundation) Isolated Footings
Tradeoffs
• The proposed structures to be designed are
combinations of different tradeoffs for each
feature of the structure:
– (CE 014) 1x2x2x2x1 = 8 tradeoff combinations
– (CE 015) 1x2x1x2x1 = 4 tradeoff combinations
• Each tradeoff combination is then evaluated
using normalization method to determine the
top three (3) combinations that will be done in
the design methodology.
Codes & Standards
• Codes & standards are documents that serve
as guide for engineering design.
– For structural design, the principal code used in
the Philippines is the 2015 National Structural
Code of the Philippines Vol. 1.
– Other reference codes and standards used are
those published by ASEP, PICE, ASCE, ACI, AISC,
ANSI, and ASTM.
CHAPTER 4
Design Methodology
• Explains the general design process as well as
the procedures to be employed in:
– Design load analysis (gravity & lateral loads)
– Member design
• Must be expressed in terms of flowchart
• Must also explain the basis of the procedures
used in analysis and design
Design Results
• Structural analysis and design for each
candidate tradeoff combination must be
performed.
– Structural analysis must be performed with
STAAD.
– Structural design must be performed with MS
Excel (or any equivalent spreadsheet tool) or
MathCAD/SMath (or any equivalent mathematical
tool).
Design Results
• For the structural analysis results, DO NOT
JUST SCREENSHOT/COPY & PASTE results
directly from the software. Organize them
properly and with proper member labels.
