STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
PROPOSED THREE (3) STOREYS RESIDENTIAL
LOT 30-A, BLOCK 9, PHASE 3, EAGLE CREST SUBDIVISION, BAKAKENG, BAGUIO CITY
(VILOETA M. CORPUZ)
It is the full intention of the Engineer that these calculations conform to the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015; 7 th
Edition. Volume 1; Buildings, Towers, and other Vertical Structures; C101-15, ISSN 2094-5477.
These calculations shall govern the structural portion of the working drawings. However, where any discrepancies occur between
these calculations and the working drawings, the Engineer shall be notified immediately so proper action may be taken. The
structural computations included here are for the analysis and design of the primary structural system.
The attachment of non-structural elements is the responsibility of the Architect or designer, unless specifically shown otherwise. The
Engineer assumes no responsibility for work not a part of these calculations. When structural observation or field investigation is
required, the Architect or contractor shall make separate special arrangements with the Engineer.
