DESIGN OF A 5- STOREY EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT SCHOOL BUILDING TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF SEISMIC RELATED DAMAGES AND LARGE NUUMBER OF CASUALTIES LOCATED AT 543 ST.
ANTHONY, ANTIPOLO CITY

Objectives:

1. To reduce the impact of seismic shocks on school buildings to help prolong its service life.
2. To safeguard students, teaching, and non-teaching personnel against the risks and dangers of a
possible earthquake calamity.
3. To adapt certain advancements in structural engineering related to earthquake preparedness such
as the use of base isolators to aid the response of the structure against lateral movements during
earthquake.

Trade- Offs:

1. Dual System: Special Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls

A dual system is a structural system in which an essentially complete frame provides

support for gravity loads, and resistance to lateral loads is provided by a specially detailed moment
resisting frame and shear walls or braced frames. The moment-resisting frame must be capable of
resisting at least 25 percent of the base shear, and the two systems must be designed to resist the
total lateral load in proportion to their relative rigidities.
This system, which provides good redundancy, is suitable for design structure of 4 storey
rehabilitation center where perimeter frames are used in conjunction with central shear wall core.
Shear walls are the main vertical structural elements with a dual role of resisting both the
gravity and lateral loads. Wall thickness varies from 40 mm to 500 mm, depending on the number
of stories, building age, and thermal insulation requirements. In general, these walls are continuous
throughout the building height.

2. Steel Special Moment Resisting Frame

A structural steel framed building is a good choice for many reasons. Steel is a very strong
material with a high strength to weight ratio, and as it is shop fabricated, it lends itself to
maintaining tight tolerances. Steel framed buildings also give designers and engineers flexibility
when it comes to design and layout, while also giving the owner a range of options depending on
their needs.
Steel beams and columns are the main components of almost all structural steel frames,
and are used to earn/ and distribute loads for the entire building. Steel decking is used for floors,
usually in conjunction with a concrete topping. Such a system is known as composite decking.
Steel decking is also used for the roof deck, though typically not with a concrete topping, unless a
heavier than usual load is anticipated, sometimes for things such as a green roof or for future
vertical expansion. There are different types of connections, either bolted or welded, and various
types of miscellaneous steel plates, bracings, angles and channels that will complete the system.

3. Special Moment Resisting Frame Using Light Weight Foam Concrete

The new technology is very versatile controllable Lightweight Concrete Foam Concrete. It
has excellent workability, thermal and sound insulation properties, it is moisture and fire resistant, it
can be housing produced easily with precise specification of strength and densities. It can also be
finished with all traditional finishes; can be planed, nailed, drilled or sawn.
The new construction technology has a systemized way of w/ loft housing casting
lightweight concrete houses which are stronger units better and very much economical than any
current methods (Viking Lightweight Concrete).
