appurtenant works are shown on the drawings, and in accordance of the provisions of the National Structural
Code of the Philippines.
II. REINFORCING STEEL BARS
1 SCOPE
All reinforcing bars will be furnished in commercial standard lengths and shall be cut and bent in accordance
with the drawings, dimensions and details attached herewith.
2 MATERIALS
All reinforcing bars shall be grade 275 deformed type and conforming the requirements of ASTM Designation
A-615 or its latest revision. The nominal dimensions and unit weights of bar designation shall be in accordance
with the following table.
Bar Unit Weight Cross section Diameter Perimeter

3 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
3.01 CUTTING AND BENDING
Cutting and bending reinforcing steel bars may be done in shop or at jobsites. All bending works shall be in
accordance with the latest standard practice or by approved machine methods. Radii for hooks and hooks is
specified on the approved detailed reinforcement drawings in accordance with sound design procedure.
3.02 PLACING/ASSEMBLY
Reinforcement shall be laid, anchored and embedded in the concrete as shown in the drawings or as directed by
the Project Engineer. Unless otherwise directed, the spacing of reinforcement bars shall be measured along the
centerline of the bars. Reinforcement shall be inspected for compliance with the requirements as to size, length,
splicing position, position and number after placement based on the approved reinforcement drawings has been
done.
Before reinforcement are placed, the surfaces of the bars and the surfaces of any metal bar support shall be
cleaned of heavy flaky rust, loose scales, dirt, grease or other foreign substance which in the opinion of the
Project Engineer are objectionable. After being placed, the reinforcing bars shall be maintained in a clean
condition until completely embedded in concrete.
3.03 SPLICING
All splices in reinforcement shall be as shown in the drawings. The lapped ends to bars shall be either supported
sufficiently to permit the embedment of the entire surface of each bar in concrete or shall be securely wired.
III. CONCRETE WORKS
1 GENERAL
This section covers all the materials as cement, aggregates, water, admixtures and proportioning, mixing,
placing, finishing, curing and protecting of concrete, including supplies, equipment, tools and all other incidentals
necessary for concrete works.
All applicable provisions of the latest revisions of the ACI Building Code and American Society for Testing
Materials shall govern in all cases not specifically provided for herein.
2 CONCRETE COMPOSITION
Concrete shall be composed of Portland Cement, fine and coarse aggregate, and water. The water used in
concrete and mortar shall be free from objectionable quantities of silt, organic matter and other impurities.
Fine aggregate is used to designate aggregate in which the maximum size of particles is 3/16 of an inch. Fine
aggregate shall conform to the requirements of ASTM C-33 and shall consist of hard, tough, durable, uncoated
rock particles.
Coarse aggregate is used to designate aggregate of such sizes as to fall within the range of 3/16 to 3 inches or
any size or range of sizes within such limits. The coarse aggregate shall be reasonably well graded within the
nominal size ranges herein after specified. It shall conform to the requirements of ASTM C-33 and it shall consist
of hard, tough, durable, uncoated rock fragments.
3 ADMIXTURE
In order to determine the right mixtures for the concrete structures, proportioning shall be 1:2:4 that bears the
allowable concrete compressive stress, fc’=21 MPa. This stress is used in the design of the said concrete.
IV. MASONRY WORKS
1 SCOPE
This section consist of installation of concrete hollow blocks for the construction of walls, division of areas, and
dividers.
2 METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
Wall footing are constructed as it is needed for the construction of walls. It is required to install 5 inches concrete
hollow blocks with mortars filled with all cells. Reinforcing bars shall be embedded in the structure as specified
in the drawings and details.
V. ROOFING WORKS
1 SCOPE
This section covers the works involved in the assembly and installation of roof truss and roofing as a whole. This
should pass the required or designed strength of joints that resist the wind force applied on it.
2 MATERIALS
Roof truss type consist of L2x2x3/16 steel members and 3X2 c-purlins. Roof covers shall be GA. 26 GI sheet prepainted
or equivalent with decorative prepainted gutter and ridge roll.
3 METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
Installation of said structure shall be done after its assembly that is to be directly fixed as a whole. Installation
of purlins shall be in accordance with the plan regarding the spacings, sizes and over lappings. G.I. sheets shall
be installed of proper supports of bolts and roofings nails.
V. PLUMBING WORKS
1 SCOPE
Sanitary design demands for the proper installation of plumbing fixtures needed for sewerage system of the
building. G.I. pipes being installed for lines of water system shall seek convenient and economical connection of
joints. PVC and concrete pipes shall be installed for the pipeline of wastewater materials that serves as a line
of sewerage.
2 METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION
G.I. pipes shall have the necessary connections with proper moldings of edges to avoid licking of joints. Different
type of connection parts are being used here. PVC pipes are to install with fitting connection in the aid of
applying solvent cement to edges. Lines of sewerage shall be directed to the septic vault where waste materials
are being stored.
VI. PAINTING WORKS
1 SCOPE
This covers the finishing touch of the building in the interior and exterior portion. Painting shall cover the structure
surface by enamel to bear one color desired to be applied.
2 METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
Paints applied shall be three coatings for the concrete and wooden parts of the structure. For the roof, red lead
primer shall cover first the surface that will protect it from rust and the second coating shall be the final touch.
Wooden parts such as door jambs shall be painted with color in accordance to programmed specs.
VII. ELECTRICAL WORKS
1 SCOPE
Electrical layouts and installation shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications duly signed by
an Electrical Engineer.
VIII. DOORS AND WINDOWS
1 SCOPE
Door dimensions shall be as per provisions of National Building code and It shall also follows the provisions of
Sec. 3.402 of PD 1185. Window shall have a minimum dimension opening of 55 centimeter and 0.5 square meter
in area for fire exit as per Sec. 3.801.E of PD 1185.
IX FINISHINGS
1 SCOPE
Type of finishings of any kind can be used provided such finishing shall be a fire resisting material as per
provisions of the National Building code and Fire Code of the Philippines.
