Structures shall be designed and constructed to resist wind loads.
 See Figure 207A.5-1A Basic Wind Speeds for Occupancy Category III, IV, and V
Buildings and Other Structures
 See Figure 207E.5-1 Design Wind Pressures on Walls and Roofs of Enclosed
Buildings with

Velocity Pressure in KPa(qz) = 47.3x10^-6 Kz Kzt V^2 Iw

V = velocity in KM/hr (sec. 207.5.2)

 Kz = velocity pressure exposure coefficients (table
207-3) Kzt = shall be less than 1.0(sec. 207.5.5)
Iw = important factor (table 207-2)

5. Earthquake Forces
Structures shall be designed and constructed to resist the effects of seismic ground
motions in the direction of each axes, the following formula are considered for design
base shear:

Note: Seismic source is Type A 1.0 B 1.6 1.2 1.0 1.0

Total design base shear in a given direction

 V = Cv I W (208-8)
RT
Total design base shear need not exceed

 V = 2.5Ca I W (208-9)
R
Total design base shear shall not be less than

 V = 0.11 Ca I W (208-10)

For Seismic Zone 4, the total base shear shall also not be less than

 V = 0.8Z Nv I W
R
V = total base shear
I = importance factor, for standard structure
(I=1.0) R = numerical coefficient, ductility and
strength
Nv = near-source factor used in determination of Cv in Seismic
Zone 4 Na = near-source factor used in determination of Ca in
Seismic Zone 4 W = total dead load
Ca = seismic coefficient (table

(table 208-8)
T = period of vibration of the structure
Ct = numerical coefficient (section 208.5.2.2)
Structure Period:
T= Ct (hn)3/4
 Ct = 0.0853 steel moment-resisting

moment- resisting frames and eccentrically
braced frames Ct = 0.0488 for all other
buildings

If Ft ≠ 0
Ft =0.7TV < 0.25V
Ft = 0 if the T is equal or less than 0.70 sec

6. Site Geology, Soil Profile

Soil characteristics and data will be obtained by conducting actual soil exploration
on site.
Refer to Table 208-7, 208-8 and 209-1 for soil data at NSCP 2015 7th Edition.

C. Reinforcements
1. All reinforcing steel bars shall be deformed round bars with structural grade
conforming to ASTM ASTM A-65 Fy = 275.80 MPa
2. All reinforcing steel bars indicated in the plan should be strictly followed.
3. Reinforcing steel bars shall be spliced at quarter point and minimum length of
40 times the diameter of the bar.
4. Column main bars shall be spliced staggered and spliced to mid-floor height and a
minimum length of 40 times the diameter of the bar.
5. In two way slabs the bars along the short span be at the lower layer for bottom bars
and the upper layer for top bars so that the bars along the shorter span shall have
the bigger effective depth, unless otherwise specified.
6. If the top reinforcement over a common support of two adjacent spans are different,
the smaller spacing shall be followed on both slab panels at the common support.
7. Bars shall be spliced only where indicated on details or as approved by the structural
designer.
