ABSTRACT
The Philippines is now dealing with serious environmental issues such as typhoons, earthquakes, and
deforestation. These occurrences result in casualties and property damage, which is common in urban
settings. As a result, an evacuation center plays a critical role in disaster management, which is defined as
transferring individuals at danger to safety in order to reduce damages and fatalities caused by flooding and
other natural catastrophes. Evacuation facilities play a critical role in dealing with the aftermath of natural
disasters. It offers immediate refuge from the disaster's immediate effects, as well as key information to
emergency planners about those internally displaced individuals who have been rendered homeless or
whose shelter has been seriously damaged, requiring a transition shelter or a lengthy solution. To come up
with a feasible solution, several parameters were analyzed, which resulted to the proposal of a four-story
barangay evacuation center. Structural Engineering Context was taken into account which is important in the
design process. Special Moment-Resisting Frame, Special Concentrically Braced Frame, and Dual System
are the trade-offs for Structural Context in which each case was assessed in order to come up with the
project's possibilities and choose the solution that best meets the project's objectives. Overall, the most
efficient solution for the design of the evacuation center after the design process is strongly suggested to be
utilized in Evacuation Center in Brgy. Rosario, Pasig.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Situated in South-east Asia, the Philippines is considered as one of the tropical countries in the
Northern Hemisphere. This implies that the country is usually hot throughout the year and undergoes
a rainy season during the second half of the year and a dry season during the first half. The said
country is predominantly exposed to natural calamities most especially typhoons and heavy rainfalls,
resulting in flash floods and landslides, along with storm surges on the lowlands and near the rivers.
One of the cities at risk is Rosario, Pasig City. The most haunting to Pasig City was when the Tropical
Storm Ondoy (Ketsana) hit the Philippines in 2009 where thousands of homes in the city were
submerged by flood waters. The city is prone to flooding due to three local waterways - Pasig River,
Marikina River, and the Manggahan floodway – and the Laguna de Bay. Many residential
subdivisions, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions have been built
in the district. So, the area has continuous developments around it coupled with the constant threat
of flooding.
In order to help the citizens of Rosario, Pasig City for the future catastrophes that will happen, a four-
storey evacuation center is proposed, wherein it is significantly affected by the typhoons that will lead
to massive flash floods. The evacuation center will serve as a safe emergency shelter for the affected
families during calamity and during the post-event recovery. The structure will not only act as a refuge
for the affected people in the time of calamity, but also for indoor events to be held during the dry
season.
10
1.2 Project Location
The site location of the project is in Rosario, Pasig. It is a barangay in the city of Pasig which is
situated in the island of Luzon, Philippines. As determined in the Census in the year 2020, the
population in the area is 73,979 which represents 9.21% of the total population of Pasig. It is situated
near the center of the Pasig-Marikina River basin which has three local waterways - Pasig River,
Marikina River, and the Manggahan floodway – and the Laguna de Bay. The proposed project will
be constructed on Prince Arcade CTIP Compound, Ortigas Avenue Extension, Rosario, Pasig which
is a vacant lot. The area is surrounded by nearby residential and commercial buildings.

CHAPTER 2: DESIGN CRITERIA AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Demography
Pasig is a highly urbanized city that is located in the National Capital Region of Luzon,
Philippines. The city has a total land area of 8.46 square kilometers. The city is composed of 30
barangays, one of which is Barangay Rosario.
Rosario is a barangay in the city of Pasig wherein its total population was 73,979 determined by
the 2020 Census. This represented 9.21% of the total population of Pasig.
16
Sumilang 4,334
Ugong 28,737
Santa Lucia 43,749
According to the 2015 Census, the age group with the highest population in Rosario, Pasig is 25
to 29, which comprises 7,160 individuals. On the other hand, the age group with the lowest
population is 80 and over, which comprises 300 individuals.
17
Historical Population of Barangay
Over 30 years, the population in Rosario grew from 57,354 in 1990 to 73,979 in 2020. The latest
census in 2020 also denotes a positive growth rate of 3.82%, or an increase of 12,059 people,
from the previous population of 61,920 in 2015.
18
Location Map
The proposed project is located in Barangay Rosario, Pasig.
Vicinity Map
The area being urbanized is mostly surrounded by commercial and residential buildings.
19
Topography
Topography is a significant factor in site analysis. The slope in the site will affect the accessibility
of the sun and the views. On the other hand, if the site is flat, the topography will not affect the
layout of the building.
20
Hazard Maps
A hazard, by definition, is a source or a situation with the potential to harm. These can be in
terms of human injury or illness, damage to property and to the environment, or a combination
of these. The proposed site location is susceptible to many natural hazards.
Based on the map below for the 5-year flood hazard of the proposed site location, the
probability of a flood with 5-year return period in a single year is 20% or ⅕. The levels of
hazard are in the range of low to high.
Ground shaking is used to describe the vibration of the ground during an earthquake. It is
the primary cause of earthquake damage to structures which were not designed properly to
withstand seismic loads.
21
Based on the map below for the ground shaking hazard, the proposed site location is
considered to be in Intensity High 8 of the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale.
22
Seismic Profile
The goal of the proponents is to make the project more resistant to earthquakes. Determining
seismic profile helps to construct structures that will avoid damage or collapse during an
earthquake.
The West Valley Fault is the active fault line in Pasig City by which it is possible to have
ground rupture when an earthquake comes. Ground rupture is the visible offset of the ground
surface along a fault line.
23
Description of Structure
The designers formulated floor plans for the proposed structure according to its intended
purpose. The evacuation center is in a rectangular shape with 4 levels. The dimensions of the
floor are 30m by 12.5m.

Loads
The loads acting on the proposed project can be classified as vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal
load. Vertical loads consist of dead, live, wind, and seismic load parameters. The values are
provided by the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015 Edition.
Load Combination
The tables below define the different types of load combination used in the analysis of the
structure. These proponents will determine the load combination which will produce the
maximum stress of the structure. Whichever load combination governs will then be used to
calculate the member forces for the design.

Geotechnical Report
A geotechnical report is essential before starting any sort of development or building. It is an
essential preceding development and even before structural plans are determined. The
geotechnical report incorporates a site analysis of the soil, rocks, bedrock properties and fault
distribution. The investigation is done to decide the designing properties of how the components
and establishments will associate with a proposed development.
35
Soil Bearing Capacity
Soil Bearing Capacity means the capacity of soil to support the loads that are applied to the
ground or on a foundation. It depends on the type of soil, its density, and its shear strength.

The designers are to use the exception made by the National Structural Code of the Philippines
2015 regarding locations without geotechnical reports. According to the NSCP 2015, when the
soil properties are not known or with insufficient detail, Type Sd shall be used. With this, the
designers decided to use the stiff soil profile (Sd) for the design of the structure.
Earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, acts of terrorism, hazardous materials accidents, nuclear
accidents, and other disasters that may occur in or influence urban areas are a major source of
concern for emergency services and a relevant topic in urban engineering planning. Evacuation
is a process in which persons who are in danger are relocated to a safer location. Different
aspects of urban engineering must be addressed as a response to a coming hazardous event
or in the aftermath of it, such as evacuation time, especially for unpredictable disasters such as
man-made disasters. Another consideration is traffic flow, which is frequently coordinated with
other time aspects. For predictable disasters, which mainly are natural disasters such as
hurricanes or floods, evacuation is required before disaster happens and the main objectives
under this situation may be to minimize the system costs of evacuation. (Coutinho-Rodrigues et
al., 2016)
Stated by Chang, N., & Nghiem, H.M. (2017), accurate soil-pile-structure interaction studies are
required for safe and cost-effective aseismic designs of high-rise structures on piles. While rigid
base assessments are popular, comprehensive soil-pile-structure-interaction analyses of
structures have yet to catch on due to their complexity, especially in mathematical modeling of
soil and soil-structure interface behaviors. Buildings dance with foundations and soils during
intense seismic shaking, producing translational, torsional, and rocking motions, and effective
38
building designs need correct measurement of base shear, axial and torsional pressures,
torsional and bending moments, and building side sways. This necessitates the use of
appropriate soil constitutive models and soil-foundation contact models, both of which require
more study in the construction and selection of soil constitutive models and soil-pile contact
models.
The Philippines is the world's fifth most exposed country to natural catastrophes. The country
has to raise disaster management knowledge among the general public by giving up-to-date
information about evacuation centers in order to reduce the number of persons involved in
accidents in the occurrence of a natural catastrophe. (Caballero, J., Chavez, E., Hernandez, A.,
& Niguidula, J., 2017)
The Philippines is regularly afflicted by catastrophic events such as typhoons and earthquakes.
Annually, the Philippines is hit by an average of 20 typhoons, five of which are devastating.
Because of its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, it experiences occasional volcanic eruptions
and earthquakes. Building safe and suitable places for vulnerable individuals is a sensible long-
term investment for local and national governments, but it also has a long-term positive effect
since it will be good practice for people to be aware of what to do when unanticipated disasters
occur.
According to the journal article of Kerema (2020), Evacuation/emergency preparation will assist
in mitigating the effects of a disaster and may save lives. Because only a few individuals make
rational decisions during a crisis, it is critical to prepare ahead of time, when you can think
properly. The greatest approach to deal with a crisis is to prepare for it before it occurs.
After the flood event, a lot of debris and mud were found along the affected area. It is wise if we
make use of flood deposits instead of being thrown away as a disposal material. The developed
bricks will help to reuse and fully utilize waste material from flood deposits to become a
construction product and can be used to rebuild the damaged houses. Moreover, to produce
lower cost of bricks compared to the commercial bricks in the market using waste material.
In order to achieve sustainability aspects, many researches were conducted to develop bricks
from waste materials. They used entirely waste without exploiting any sort of natural resources.
The products that normally used to make the brick material are waste treatment residual, granite
waste, paper sludge, straw fibers, waste treatment sludge and fly ash (Shakir & Mohammed,
2013). Soil stabilization is a process to improve the physical and engineering properties of soil
to obtain some 3 predetermined targets (Ali, 2012). Any material containing mostly Silicon (Si)
and Aluminum (Al) in amorphous shape might be suitable to produce a brick (Mathew et al.,
2013). Due to the mud flood, it consists of Si and Al; therefore, it is suitable for brick production.
According to an article written by the NDMO (2016), every evacuation center should ideally
provide safe, secure refuge against weather events, severe rain and related floods, storm
surges, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and landslides. The design and evaluation of evacuation
centers must consider all of the possible consequences of these threats. When it comes to the
building, it should be able to endure predicted wind and/or earthquake loads, as well as be
equipped with cyclone shutters for windows and doors. It must include accommodations for
people with disabilities, such as ramps and suitable design for unhindered wheelchair access,
39
and it should be designed to guarantee that vulnerable people are cared for, as well as the
personal protection of women, girls, and boys.
The building's horizontal acceleration is reduced and suffers far less deformation and damage.
If a building's foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake
regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed. Assuming, however, that the soil
beneath a structure is firm and solid, engineers can greatly improve how the building-foundation
system will respond to seismic waves. a building above its foundation on a system of bearings,
springs or padded cylinders. Bearings attach to the building and foundation via steel plates and
then, when an earthquake hits, allow the foundation to move without moving the structure above
it. Engineers use a variety of bearing pad designs, but they often choose lead-rubber bearings,
which contain a solid lead core wrapped in alternating layers of rubber and steel. The lead core
makes the bearing stiff and strong in the vertical direction, while the rubber and steel bands
make the bearing flexible in the horizontal direction.
When disasters strike, the goals of building a timely and effective disaster risk reduction and
management plan are to save lives and limit damage. With the intensification of typhoons in the
Philippines and an ever-increasing population, evacuation is an essential life-saving measure.
As a result, safe and sufficient evacuation facilities, as well as an effective evacuation process,
are critical to attaining these objectives. Metro Manila's disaster risk reduction management plan
is still in the works, with evacuation centers distributed among its 16 constituent cities and 1
municipality. There is a pressing need for information consolidation, which should begin with a
comprehensive review. While most, if not all, of the identified evacuation centers are makeshift
shelters which are government buildings or public spaces (i.e., schools, barangay halls,
gymnasiums, etc.) by design, it is recommended that future construction and development of
additional ECs be based on the DILG guidelines and that location identification be based on
spatial distribution and capacity requirements. (Cajucom, E. P. et al., 2019)
It is critical to engage in emergency response activities to assist affected people, with a focus on
the most vulnerable, particularly the internally displaced. (Boasso, 2016) Each barangay must
have a disaster response plan as well as an evacuation center. A quality one which can be used
during times of stability, can handle a large number of people, and includes separate facilities
for men and women. A safe area that is always available and may be used in the event of an
emergency. (Macuto, 2016)
Evacuation centers are critical for natural disaster-prone countries such as the Philippines,
according to Ravina, Danilo, Ruz, Marc, Shih, Rowell, and Kistelegdi, István, (2018). In the
Philippines, a public school serves as a temporary evacuation center for displaced families.
According to Cariaga, R., Chua, J., & Mallabo, L. (2019), the majority of evacuees stated the
school was not equipped in terms of early warning system, disaster capability management, and
disaster committee when asked about the level of preparation of the school in responding to
catastrophes.
These modular barriers may provide a sense of privacy to each suffering family, which is
important in any evacuation center, especially for the sick, aged, menstruating women, and
breastfeeding mothers, among others. The implementation of the participatory design approach
40
ensures that the design is user-friendly for all parties involved. Material waste and expense are
reduced as a result of the design's adaptability and portability. The implementation of the
participatory design approach ensures that the design is user-friendly for all parties involved.
Material waste and expense are reduced as a result of the design's adaptability and portability.
The final design was created using a collaborative design technique and following the Philippine
Department of Education's standards.
According to Kumar, Kulbhushan (2019), beams, columns, floor slabs, walls, foundations, and
other specific elements of reinforced concrete multi-story buildings are continually placed to form
a rigid monolithic frame structure in the design of reinforced concrete multi-story buildings. The
geometric shapes of a building might be symmetrical or asymmetrical. A building with a regular
shape can withstand a greater amount of seismic force. A structure is subjected to gravity loads
such as dead and live loads, as well as lateral loads from wind and seismic loads. These loads
are necessary in order to transfer safety to the earth beneath interconnected structural systems.
The connection between a beam and a column, a column and a wall, a beam and a wall, or a
beam and a bracing component might be simple or moment resistant. The greatest issue in tall
buildings is achieving the serviceability limit states, constructability, durability, and economy.
Based on the study of Maistrenko, A.V. (2021), the finite element approach is used to calculate
the thermal properties of a volumetric construction. According to the Russian Federation's
Ministry of Energy's objectives, their country will develop a robust wind energy industry in the
next few years. In their context, calculations in the construction of wind power plant building
structures are now going to be more difficult. The fabrication of such fiberglass structures is a
complicated thermochemical process that involves the polymerization of the binder under
precisely controlled temperatures.
Modern tall buildings have efficient structural systems and use high-strength materials, resulting
in reduced building height and thus becoming slenderer and more flexible with low damping;
however, these flexible buildings are very sensitive to wind excitation and earthquake load,
causing discomfort to building occupants (Rajmani and Guha, 2015). Sadh and Pendharkar
(2016) investigated how the overall shape, size, and geometry of a structure affects its behavior
during earthquakes. Balasaheb and Kuwar (2018) studied the effects of wind and earthquake
forces on various aspect ratios of buildings, concluding that as the aspect ratio increased, the
building became more critical. As a result, tall buildings should have a small aspect ratio, i.e.,
the sides of the building should be nearly equal in size, making it less critical.
According to Lean Alfred Santos (2013), some essential tips to keep in mind while building
structures that will resist the onslaught of floods, earthquakes and typhoons is (1) having four-
sided slope roof, (2) installing storm shutters, (3) having right materials by which homes should
41
be also be built using earthquake-resilient materials, aside from typhoon-resilient ones as well
as using the load-bearing design will be adaptable to the movement of the ground, lessening the
potential damage to the house, (4) the ultimate solution is finding the right location. The
Philippine government has geohazard maps which need to be consulted before pushing through
with a development project.
There are different types of framing systems which have their own unique advantages and
disadvantages. First is the moment-resisting frame, which is a rectilinear structure made up of
beams and columns that are rigidly connected. Its advantage is that it allows flexibility for
architectural design and layout. On the other hand, its disadvantages are that it can produce
more deflection and drift when compared to other framing systems, rigid joints can produce
accumulated stress, it requires precise construction of frame in order to resist lateral loads
effectively, and the moment connections can be expensive. Next is the braced frame, which is a
structural structure whose primary purpose is to withstand wind and seismic forces. Its
advantages are that it does not need moment connections, it can be positioned both internally
and externally for architectural flexibility, and it is cost-effective and simple to design. On the
other hand, its disadvantages are that it can cause problems with the layout of windows and
doors due to the blockage of bracings, it also requires fireproofing, which takes up large space,
its span is usually limited to 40 feet when reinforced, and large gusset plates are needed for
connections between beams and columns. Lastly, is the shear wall frame, which is a structural
system made up of braced panels that are used to mitigate the effects of lateral loads on a
structure. Its advantages are that shear walls are effective in minimizing earthquake damage to
structural and non-structural elements, both in terms of construction cost and effectiveness, it is
also rigid and structurally durable when placed under heavy loads. On the other hand, its
disadvantages are that it can produce stress in the walls as it is used to support the entire stability
of the building, it can reduce in strength and stiffness when there are openings, gaps, and
spaced, it causes problems with architectural and services requirements due to shear walls
acting as barriers, and it creates large pressure for foundations as shear walls have large amount
of weight. (Lateral force resisting systems, pros and cons, 2021)

CHAPTER 3: CONSTRAINTS, TRADEOFFS AND STANDARDS
The constraints of the proposed structure's design relate to the factors that limit the structure's ability
to perform its full capacity. It is the boundary that was made to create the structure within the
limitations of predetermined conditions. The designer's purpose in this chapter is to identify all
constraints that affect and may obstruct the development of the proposed structure's design. The
importance of determining them ahead of time is to ensure the structure's performance to a limited
degree. There are two types of constraints: Quantitative Constraints and Qualitative Constraints.
Quantitative constraints cover the details of sustainability, economic, constructability, risk, safety,
and uncertainty whereas qualitative constraints include environmental, functionality, aesthetics, and
social constraints. The proposed structure's performance is limited by these constraints. Identifying
these restrictions will aid in reducing the likelihood of unanticipated failure due to the recognized
constraints.
Quantitative Constraint
Economics
After estimating the building cost, the designers will choose which trade-offs are most
appropriate for the projected budget without damaging the structure's strength. The
designers will be obtaining desirable outcomes in these tradeoffs in order to determine what
will be the most cost-effective under given circumstances.
• Limitation: The construction cost of the project set by the client is limited to an
amount of Php 50,000,000.00 only.
Constructability
• Limitation: The construction of the project must be completed within 400 days.
43
Sustainability
One of the constraints to consider is the sustainability of the structure that will be
constructed. In any project, one of the most important considerations is the lifespan of the
structure because it reflects whether the structure can still fulfill its functions. The proposed
project is designed to accommodate human needs in the event of a disaster. The tradeoffs
will weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each material and process which will then
be compared to the structure’s maximum lifespan. The chosen tradeoff will let the structure
withstand natural disasters and last for several years.
Risk
Identifying the potential hazards while evaluating the risks associated with these identified
hazards is called risk assessment. This constraint is being considered as it helps the
structure to maintain its safety wherein it indicates a structure’s ability to protect against
natural disasters (e.g., floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes). To prevent the
potential hazard that can make the structure deflect and collapse, the designers will use a
structural code.
• Limitation: The structure must focus on the limits stated in the National Structural
Code of the Philippines for its structural context.
Safety
This constraint refers to the safety of the workers as well as the nearby community where
the structure is constructed. In structural context, safety constraint determines the factors
that may cause accidents during the construction of the structure, the safety design feature,
and implementation technique. Structural integrity will be addressed by the designers by
using engineering methods to design the structural frames. The tradeoffs will be investigated
and then implemented in order to design a structurally sound building that is safe from
disasters.
• Limitation: The design safety percentage of the structure shall be at least one
hundred percent (100%).
Uncertainty
The structural context's uncertainty constraints are largely concerned with economics, the
construction process, hazards, and human errors during the construction phase, all of which
might influence the building's design. This specific constraint will assess the probability
percentage of the winning tradeoff design being fully utilized four hundred (400) days after
its completion.
44
Qualitative Constraints
Social
Factors that will occur as a result of increased interest in or opposition to a project are
referred to as social constraints. Concern from the public and media forces a project to be
investigated more closely and subjected to more constraints, which might result in
considerable changes to the original plans. As a result, the designers will weigh a number
of tradeoffs to see if the equipment or procedures used to design the structure benefit the
construction while also not becoming a problem to the surrounding populations.
Environmental
An environmental constraint is a limitation on the materials and methods that can be utilized
to create a structure because of the environmental impact on the surrounding area. This is
need to be considered in the design for the designers to weigh down between a set of
tradeoffs that will be compared to determine whether the materials and methods to be used
in the design development will be environmentally friendly.
Functionality
This constraint primarily concerns the status of the building as it relates to its intended use.
The building should be built around its intended purpose and function. During a catastrophe,
an evacuation center is designed to offer evacuees with a temporary safe shelter. The
evacuation center must be wide, well-lit, elevated, and appropriate, as per the designers.
Aesthetics
The architectural plan for the design of the structure is limited by the project's aesthetic
constraint. The initial aesthetic of the project would be to incorporate windows, doors, and
other building design elements, however the structural plan for catastrophe proofing may
require alterations to the basic arrangement based on the project's hazard-prone location.
In terms of the design constraint of the tradeoffs, the aesthetics may need to be updated or
redesigned, which may have an impact on the building's early design and ventilation.
The trade-offs are a variety of approaches that must be analyzed and compared to determine the
optimal design for the project's constraints. These tradeoffs will be weighed by the designers in order
to construct a four-storey evacuation center in Brgy. Rosario, Pasig City.
45
shearing forces that occur as a structure sway through many displacement cycles during
significant earthquake ground shaking. Special Moment Frames require additional requirements
such as proportioning and detailing requirements that result in a frame capable of resisting strong
earthquake shaking without significant loss of stiffness or strength. These requirements improve
the seismic resistance when compared to Ordinary Moment Frames.
The designers have chosen the SMRF because it is expected to withstand significant inelastic
deformations when subjected to the forces resulting from the motions of the earthquake. The
term "special" refers to the members and connections of frames being designed and specified
to provide maximum ductility and toughness, implying excellent energy dissipation and seismic
performance during severe earthquake shaking.
A braced frame is a structural system designed to withstand wind and earthquake forces. It
involves adding additional elements to a frame to increase its ability to sustain lateral loads.
Braced frame members are usually triangulated and linked at joints. The diagonal members can
withstand both tension and compression forces. Bracing is efficient because it reduces stiffness
and resistance for a structure.
The designers have chosen the SCBF because it is proportioned and designed to maximize
inelastic drift capacity which can withstand an earthquake. The term “special” refers to the
connections, beams, and columns being designed and detailed to prevent less ductile forms of
response from causing less lateral drift capacity.
46
Figure 3.2: Special Braced Frame
Dual System
A dual system is a structural system in which gravity loads are supported by an essentially
complete frame, while lateral loads are resisted by a specially designed moment-resisting frame
and shear walls or braced frames. The frame consists of a group of beams and columns linked
together by rigid joints, and the frames bend in shear mode, whilst the shear walls deflect in a
bending mode similar to cantilever walls. The interaction between the frame and the shear wall
reduces the lateral deflection of the structural wall at the top, while the wall helps support the
frame near the base.
The designers have chosen the Dual System because it is expected to take care of the effect of
displacement during an earthquake because even if the shear walls share more than 75% of the
total lateral force, the MRFs are designed to resist at least 25% of the design base shear.
(Ambika-Chippa & Prerana-Nampalli, 2014)

Depending on resulted value, the weight percentage is determined on the optimal percentages of
each performance parameter as agreed upon. All criteria to be used in the tradeoff calculation should
be up to 100%.
The design tradeoff with the highest total value will be used in the design.

Table 3.1 displays the raw data acquired by the designers for the structural context in previous
studies, which they utilized as a basis to assess which trade-off delivers the best in each
constraint and on a larger scale.
Based on the Philippine Statistics Authority, in the year 2020 the average cost per square meter
for non-residential structures such as evacuation centers is determined to be 12,209.00 php.
The designers used this to initially estimate the cost for construction. In a construction, different
types of methodology are applied to help withstand different loads and forces. According to a
study, the cost of building a Braced Frame and a Dual System with Shear Wall is 10.89% and
15.23% respectively, compared to building a Special Moment Resisting Frame. (Ahmad, et. al.,
2018). The design life and duration of construction of the tradeoffs is based on the experience
and perspective of the external adviser that the designers asked for some information. The risk
is ranked based on which tradeoff has a greater lateral displacement, 1 being the lowest and 3
being the highest. According to Alandkar & Jaya, 2016, in Multistoried building design, lateral
load is mainly responsible for lateral displacement which concerns the selection of structural
system to get rid of the risk. The lateral displacement in moment frames is the greatest among
the other lateral load resisting systems investigated; the lateral displacement in dual frames is
the least while the lateral displacement in shear wall systems is slightly higher than that of the
dual system. Safety is considered greater than or equal 100% as all structure must be safe.
Since dual system is the one with the lowest risk, the designers put 130% for safety followed by
SCBF and SMRF, respectively. The percentage on the uncertainty is based on which tradeoff is
the most uncertain one to use.

Prior to averaging, values measured on different scales are adjusted to a notionally similar scale
called normalization of rating. Table 3.2 displays the normalized data, which has the units of
measurement removed so that each structural tradeoff may be easily compared.

Table 3.3 displays the weighted total of the normalized data for each structural tradeoff, with
weight of 0.2 for economic cost and constructability, while 0.15 for the rest of constraints. When
the weight of economic cost and constructability is greater than among the other constraints, the
special moment resisting frame system received the greatest weighted sum.

weight of 0.17. Based on the results, the special moment resisting frame system acquired the

3.4 Design Codes and Standard
The Philippine National Building Code, also known as Presidential Decree No. 1096, was created
and implemented as a unified building code in order to include up-to-date and current technical
information on building design, construction, usage, occupancy, and maintenance. This code is
used to establish minimum standards and regulations for the design, use of the structure, type
of occupancy, space allocation, ventilation, location regulation and control, and maintenance.
This code enables designers in determining which parameters should be utilized, as well as
serving as a reference for the estimation of various loads. The following are the sections that
were used in this design project:
Structural Steel Design is one of the structural tradeoffs. As a result, the ASEP Steel Handbook
is appropriate for assisting designers in properly comprehending the idea of steel structures.
The publication ACI 318, "Building Code Standards for Structural Concrete and Commentary,"
lays out the code requirements for structural concrete design and construction that are important
for public safety. The ACI 318 is a must-have standard for all concrete design, construction, and
inspection professionals.
