Executive Summary
With this project, the researchers were given the opportunity to provide a design
of an Integrated Port Passenger Terminal Building in the port of Iloilo City for the
accommodation of the passengers of the said seaport. Moreover, the project would
provide additional functional facilities for the passengers’ different wants and needs like
waiting areas, amenities such as comfort rooms and etc.., canteens and security. The port
as well as the building will rest on an area near the sea, having a vertical expansion of the
building rather than a horizontal will conserve spaces that can be used for port operations
in this way we can avoid reclamation. This building will also make use of indigenous
materials available for the construction. This project will help the port authorities to solve
issues regarding the convenience of the growing number of passengers and to improve
the quality of service.
In this project the researchers found out that having a terminal building the
authorities can give the basic wants and needs of the passengers especially the amenities.
We all know how important amenities are especially in this type of building where great
number of people coming in and out.
The researchers recommends that the sewage facility of the building must be
establish well and must be consulted to a Sanitary Engineer. The design must be carefully
done considering that the building operation must not affect the environment especially
the body of water near it. We must always take into consideration always our
environment before anything else.

Introduction
This paper is all about the design development of integrated sea port passenger
terminal in Iloilo City, Philippines. This country, as an archipelago, makes the maritime
industry an important factor in achieving economic progress. In fact, shipping remains
the major means by which islands are linked and through which movement of goods and
people is achieved. There is no known island that cannot be reached by ship or small
boat. The significant role of shipping is even more emphasized if one is to consider the
government’s objective of achieving national unity by bridging cultural values and social
norms.
The Port of Iloilo is considered as one of the safest natural seaports in the
Philippines. Also, this city is located near the sea that's why shipping is one of the means
of connecting people from one place to another. Actually, a number of shipping
companies operate in the Port of Iloilo, including Lorenzo Shipping Corporation, Aboitiz
Shipping Company, Amigo Shipping Company, New Panay Shipping Company, Negros
Navigation Company, Sulpicio Lines, and Trans-Asia Shipping Lines Inc. Fast ferries
serve Iloilo-Bacolod routes eight times daily. Negros Navigation and Superferry dock to
the city where it serves routes going to Manila, Bacolod, Cebu, Zamboanga and Cagayan
de Oro City.
Iloilo seaport is truly beautiful because most of these seaports were made
naturally meaning the places is perfect enough for a ports operation and doesn’t need to
do reclamations. But in order for these seaports to be good enough, the government
especially the Philippine Ports Authority must also consider the terminals where the
people could stay on before or after the trip. Philippine Ports Authority is a government-
owned corporation that is responsible for financing, management and operations of public
ports throughout the Philippines.
With these conditions drawn together, the group has proposed a Three (3) - Storey
Seaport Passenger Terminal Building that will address the problems regarding seaports
that cannot provide good accommodation to passengers. The building will make use of
indigenous materials and will avoid using import materials to construct a low cost
building.

Presenting the Challenges
2.1 Problem Statement
At present, the reality of Iloilo City's seaport terminals are not improving
at all or even becoming worse. Several passengers have experienced worse
scenarios that lead to inconveniences which involve the lack of accommodation
facilities that will give shelter to the passenger from all types of weather, lack of
secured place and disorganized flow of passengers inside the port. Also the
authorities experiences problems due to the lack of accommodation facilities the
passenger are staying everywhere inside the port and thus leaving wastes that can
give a bad effect to their operation. The fact that these happen, the group proposes
to design a three storey Port Passenger Terminal Building that can be constructed
in an existing area near the seashore because it is the only available area where
the passenger terminal can be built. This building aims to lower the cost of the
project because the budget will come from the government and must be
minimized as much as possible. The building is integrated this means that it must
incorporate inside all the amenities that a typical port has. This is to improve the
level of service that a passenger must experience.
The design norms considered for this project consist of cost effectiveness,
minimalism and eco-friendliness.
The design should follow the minimalism concept. The term minimalism
is used to describe a trend in design and architecture where the subject is reduced
to its necessary elements. Space is very important in designing a terminal
building because this space will determine the capacity of the passengers that
could occupy the building. Thus, designing with minimalism concept will help
provide ample space for the needs of the passengers.
2.5 Beneficiary
This project can also benefit the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) in the
future. The project can serve as basis for the future developments.

MAJOR FIELD:
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
To construct a building means to have safe and sound building. Safe and Sound,
two different words but have the same agenda, which is to provide people shelter against
bad weather, to give people a place to stay-in whenever possible, and to attract tourists to
come to our country by means of providing a structure that is aesthetically beautiful in
appearance. This thesis project involves the design of an integrated seaport passenger
terminal building in the port of Iloilo City, Iloilo. And from here, we can already say that
the safety of the building is more prioritized than the aesthetic beauty of the building,
since it is the objective of the Philippine Ports Authority to give passengers a safe
terminal building before they go out of the sea for a journey. But is it really right to give
more priorities for the safety of a building rather than to have an aesthetically beautiful
building? The answer lies on the available budget that was distributed to the Philippine
Ports Authority by the local government. The said budget was so limited that the PPA,
and us have decided to give more priority to the safety of the building, and that was by
using indigenous materials for construction. Yes, the researchers were certain about the
result of this project by using indigenous materials. The usage of the said materials is
very useful not only to the PPA but also to the economy. The building of seaport terminal
is also an act of wealth generation. Constructing this terminal building is generally not
the major focus of this project and using local materials are useful to assure sufficient
materials at reasonable prices. And also due to construction of this building, more jobs
can be offered by the local government and therefore might affect the economy of our
country in a good way.
The design should be cost effective. Every material to be used must be carefully
analyzed to meet the standard of cost and quality. This project is not aiming for high cost
and high quality building but rather the maximum quality we can get with optimum cost
without risking the safety of occupants. The design should follow the minimalism
concept. The term minimalism is used to describe a trend in design and architecture
where the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Space is very important in
designing a terminal building because this space will determine the capacity of the
passengers that could occupy the building. Thus, designing with minimalism concept will
help provide ample space for the needs of the passengers. Finally, the design should be
eco-friendly. In our world where global warming and climate change threatens our very
own existence, we should find alternative and eco-friendly approach for us not to
contribute to such bad effects.
In this project, various technical programs will be utilized to help in modelling,
conceptualizing and designing the project. We use STAADpro to help us in designing the
entire structural member. We use AutoCAD to help us in modelling and laying out the
plan and specification of the project. And lastly, we use Google Sketchup to help us make
the perspective of the building to visualize the image.
Since the project is located near the sea, a thorough research must be done prior to
this.
There should be a research on the land condition where the terminal building will be
rested. Now, for the specification of the project, a thorough research of very efficient
materials available in our country must be done and also for the installation of Reflective
Tempered Walls, and also a thorough research of the material’s property must be done if
it will really be effective to use.
Now for the design components of our project, the superstructure will be
composed of reinforced concrete beams, columns, and slabs. The design will depend
from the loads like weight, superimposed, wind and seismic. The basis of our design is
based on NSCP 2010. Also, we used a reflective tempered glass walls for the exterior
windows of the building. With this, the scenic views of our beautiful nature in Iloilo will
be seen by the passengers waiting inside the terminal building and therefore could make
them feel relax and comfortable. The passenger’s waiting area will be available at the
first and second floor. Passenger must have an enough space to stay-in upon waiting
inside the terminal building. Utilities will also be available on each floor for this is very
important for the passengers staying inside. Terminal offices will be located at the ground
floor as per requirement by the Port Authorities and also in order for the passengers to
have an easy access to them. Canteens and other entertainment facility will be located at
the third floor. And lastly, port facilities such as parking lots, entrance gates, etc. will also
be introduced in order for the passengers to have conveniences in using the port.
From the previous paragraphs, we have already said about the meat of this
project. When we say meat, it has nutrients that we can absorb. So with this, what are the
possible nutrients, or importants that this project could offer to us? To answer this
question, we must first understand the concept of sustainable development. The concept
of sustainable development means sustainable in three areas- environment, economy and
community. For environmental aspect, we chose to have a vertical expansion rather to
have it horizontal in order to save space. Our land is very limited so we must make a way
how to conserve space without affecting the productivity of the port. On economic
aspect, we tend to use indigenous materials to produce low cost terminal building and
upon maintaining and repairing the said building in the future, materials will always be
available and cheap around. Another is this project can help the ports to improve their
operation by giving the passengers a convenient and secured place to stay in where they
can get an easy access for their different wants and needs. Thus, organized flow of
passengers inside will result to an increase in number of passenger patronizing the port.
On the community aspect, this project can produce more jobs for the people in the
community. With the said types of sustainable development, we could say that in order to
have the best structural building, we must always try to ask the help of the experienced
one about anything that could help us to construct this terminal building in economic and
environmental ways.
The structural codes used in the structural design of an integrated port passenger
terminal building structure conform to the National Structural Code of the Philippines
2010 for volume 1. All values used in the design are found in NSCP 2010.
In the design of the building, several loads were used. The first one is the dead
load. The dead loads that were considered in the computation are the slab weight, floor
finish, masonry, mechanical, and electrical. These dead loads are typical for second to
third floor of the building.
Now for the roof deck dead load, we considered the slab weight, floor finish,
waterproofing, mechanical, electrical, and parapet. Then, for the live load, we considered
the hallways, roof deck, and the water tank which is located on the roof deck. Lastly for
the seismic load, we used the 1997 UBC Seismic Loading.
The structural design of the 3-storey port passenger terminal building structure
has been done using Design Softwares. For the design of concrete beams and columns,
STAAD was used. On the other hand, for the design of foundation footings, MIDAS was
used. And laso for the design of slabs, it is computed using the manual analysis with the
aid of Microsoft Excel.
MINOR FIELD:
TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
Our country is composed mainly of body of water. Thus, the shipping industry is
very important to us. And since this place where we live in is a big island, we must
expect several people to go to different seaport terminal buildings in order for them to
have a safe journey from the origin to their destination. In present times, the reality of
Iloilo City's seaport terminals are not improving at all or even becoming worse. Several
passengers have experienced worse scenarios that lead to inconveniences which involve
the lack of accommodating facilities that will give shelter to the passenger from all types
of weather, lack of secured place and disorganized flow of passengers inside the port.
And also the authorities experiences problems due to the lack of accommodation facilities
the passenger are staying everywhere inside the port and thus leaving wastes that can give
a bad effect to their operation. The fact that these happen, the group proposes to design
the Port especially the Three storey Port Passenger Terminal Building that can be rested
in an existing area near the seashore because it is the only available area where the
passenger terminal can be constructed. This building aims to lower the cost of the project
due to the fact that the budget will come from the government and must be minimized as
much as possible.
For Transportation, the forecasting of number of people that will be using the port
will be the basis in determining the needed total lot area of the terminal building. And
also appropriate design of facilities will be constructed accordingly to the flow of people
that will be using the ships to travel. Also in connection with the project itself, the
researchers must have a proper design of floor plan for different passenger’s activities
inside the building so that there will be a nice flow of passengers and therefore promote
safety. Also, we study carefully the different rules and regulations inside the seaport
terminal that will be used very carefully so that the passengers could easily understand
the said rules.
Our main objective or aim in using the transportation principles in our thesis is to
maintain or improve human and ecosystem well-being together. Due to varying
environmental, social and economic conditions between and within countries, there is no
single best way to achieve sustainable transportation systems. A set of guiding principles
can be described, however, upon which transition strategies should be built. In here, we
recognized the fundamental importance of access. Access to people, places, goods and
services is important to the social communities. Transportation is a key means, but not
the only means, through which access can be achieved. And according to the principle of
access in transportation, all people are entitled to reasonable access to other places. And
in relation to our thesis, it is a must and required for the researchers and PPA to provide
the complete access for the seaport terminal to the passengers.
Transportation systems are a critical element of a strong economy, but can also
contribute directly to building community and enhancing quality of life. According to
another principle of people and communities in transportation, nation states and the
transportation community must strive to ensure social, equity, and meeting the basic
transportation-related needs of all people. In relation to our thesis, the PPA must provide
equal rights for the passengers so as to promote peace.
The method we used in forecasting the number of passengers in the port is also
used by the port authorities. The data gathered based on the computation will be used in
determining the needed floor area of the terminal building to be considered. In the
computation of the required floor area, we use the years from 2003 to 2020. And from the
resulted data, we highlighted the result in the year 2012 and 2020.
In order for us to have accurate and consistent result, we tend to increase the ship
calls yearly by 5. And as a result of this, we got the result of 8567 ship calls. Together
with this figure, we can also compute for the total embarking passenger, and the number
of ship calls in a given time which resulted to a value of 466 pax.
Now, after solving all of the basic requirements, we may now proceed with the
area computation proper. And in here, we used the manual that can be found in the PPA.
This manual has set of standards that we must follow. And by using the NEPGT, we can
solve the required area and that is by using the table that were given to us the PPA
officials. After of careful search for the value, we used interpolation and resulted to a
value of 1165 square meter which is the floor area of the seaport passenger terminal
building.
From the above statements, we must be noted that having a three storey terminal
building, we must distribute the computed area among the first and second floor only.
The third floor will be used for commercial establishments. Due to the flow of the
escalator, the allotted area per floor had been increase from 582 square meter to 700
square meter. Therefore, the total area of the passenger terminal building is equal to 2100
square meter. And in order to prove the correctness of our data and computation, the
architect of the PPA have checked our works and ended up having no errors. With this,
we could proudly say that we made a very good and careful work in computing for the
required area of the building.
The method we used in forecasting the number of parking spaces in the port came
from the port authorities. The data that we got in the manual will be used in determining
the needed total parking space/s of the terminal building to be constructed. In order to
solve this, we must first know the basic requirements such as the parking slots and the
percentage of arriving passengers. With these data, we got results. Using these result, we
looked through the building code and it gave us this dimension, a width of 3 meters and a
length of 5 meters.
MINOR FIELD:
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
Iloilo is just one of the islands of Philippines which are being surrounded by body
of water. Therefore, it is a must to have a seaport terminal somewhere in Iloilo so that
people living there could travel everywhere they want. To travel means to search for jobs,
to go to school, to find foods, to go home, and to recreate. That’s why the researchers
have considered this project a necessity for the residents of Iloilo City. But before we
started this project, several things and standards must be considered. First of all, the place
where our project will be rested is to be placed near sea. Due to this, the soil properties of
the said place will be soft and weak. That is why there should be an accurate design for
its foundation so that the terminal building will last longer in the future.
In order to limit our discussion in our research paper, we just chose some of the
important phases of soil investigation that shall be used. The soil investigation depends
on the size, the client, the engineer’s familiarity with the soil at the site, and the codes
that will be used. It is true that structures are sensitive to settlement therefore there must
be a thorough soil investigation of it so that assurance of having safety will be given to
the client. In this case, the said client is the passengers of the terminal buildings.
Some local building codes have provisions that set out the extent of site
investigation. It is a obligatory that a visit be made to the proposed site. In the beginning,
available information is often not required to allow a detailed plan to be made. So with
this, what are the phases of site investigation that must be developed?
For phase 2, we should have a site visit to provide a general picture of the
topography and geology of the site. It is important that you take with you on the site visit
all the information gathered in phase 1 to compare with the current conditions of the site.
In this case, one of my group mates has gone to Iloilo City to see the site personally. And
when he went home to manila, he told us everything that he saw. And from that, we used
this imagination of him to draw our perspective of the entire port and the possible image
for our perspective.
For phase 3, we should have a detailed soil exploration of the site in order for us
to determine the geological structure of site, the groundwater condition, the sample of
soil from the site. And with these results, we can use them to obtain a situ test. Again,
luckily for us, the PPA has provided us some examples of situ test result and also they
gave us some soil sample analysis that we can use for our thesis. The said data were
came from the manual of the PPA. In here, the PPA officials have guided us in order for
us to find what we needed from that manual.
And for phase 4, using the soil tests results that we got from the PPA, we are now
ready to write a report. The report must contain the clear description of the soil of the
site, the methods of exploration used, the soil profile, the test methods used, and the
location of groundwater.
Now to summarize the series of events that shall be done on the site, first we must
start with the site preparation. It begins with the staking out of the site. It involves the
surveying of the site and by introducing markings of the lot boundaries. Next, the
clearing of the site is to be done and that is by removing the obstructions which can
hinder the construction activities in the site. And lastly, the excavation works where land
is being excavated for the preparation of the construction of foundations and footings.
In computing the punching shear of the footings, the main variables that were
used in the concrete were the strength, the ratio of flexural reinforcement, the type of
anchorage of the reinforcement, and the type of shear reinforcement. The tests showed
that the concrete strength had a strong influence on the punching shear strength. The ratio
of flexural reinforcement only slightly influenced the punching shear strength. The type
of anchorage did not influence the punching shear strength. The use of inclined bent-up
bars as shear reinforcement gave higher punching shear strengths than the use of stirrups.
The resistance to the transverse effects of concentrated forces acting on concrete slabs is
an essential problem in design of column footings, flat plates and bridge slabs. The
design methods should be based on physical models, which in a relevant way describe the
behaviour of the structure and consider the mechanical properties of the materials.
In computing for the beam shear, the resistance to the transverse effects of
concentrated forces acting on concrete slabs is an essential problem in design of column
footings, flat plates and bridge slabs. The design methods should be based on physical
models, which in a relevant way describe the behaviour of the structure and consider the

3.1.3 Project Information
Ports in the Philippines have been serving great number of passengers due
to the demand for affordable transportation. The lack of place and facilities to
accommodate such passengers is what the project amis to solve. This three-storey
port terminal building will provide a proper and orderly accommodation for the
passengers. This will include waiting areas which will have a design that can
contain a great number of passengers. Also, since it is a three-storey terminal
building, the safety of the passenger will be the main concern in designing the
structure.
Planning stage
In this first stage, the project will be carried out. The project’s
purpose, need, the design criteria and the location of the project will be
considered.

10
3.1.7 Operational Phase
The operational phase is one of the most important phases in every construction,
because this will show the effectiveness of the structure. In the operational phase, full –
function, usage, maintenance and enhancement are reviewed. Since the project is a Port
Terminal Building with a waste water treatment system, proper maintenance and
observation are required. The tasks included in this operational phase are:
Since the structure will be used to serve the many passengers, safety must
be ensured at all times. Thus, certain conditions were set in determining whether
the structure must be abandoned or not.
Once the building is to be abandoned, the abandonment phase will begin with:
Removal and Relocation
Demolition
Transfer of Unused Materials
Scraps and Wastes Transport Removal
Remediation of Contaminated Sites
11
3.2.2 Biological Environment
The location of the proposed project is near the sea, near the area there are
no residential houses but there are informal settlers that will be forced to leave
upon the construction for their safety. The area to be used for the building was
minimized so if ever there is a need for expansion in the future, reclamation will
be avoided. There are no wildlife that will be affected upon the construction and
as well as with trees. The site, is about 1 km away from the main road.
Iloilo City is politically subdivided into 180 barangays which are grouped
into six districts Arevalo (13 barangays), Arevalo (13 barangsays), Jaro (42
barangays), Mandurriao (18 barangays), Molo (25 barangays) and La Paz (37
barangays) where the location of the study is. The local government of Iloilo City
is headed by Mayor Jed Patrick E. Mabilod and Vice Mayor Jose Espinosa III.
Currently, there are 8,407 business establishments of which 1,182 are new.
Total capital investments for new business establishments are P 365,506,020.92.
The city has 40 universal, 24 commercial, 11 governments, 9 thrift, 1
development, 9 savings, and one Thrift/Government and two rural banks which
include branches/extension offices in the different districts. Average per Capita
Income is P 65,036 and Average Per Capita Expenditures is P 51,557.
12
million investments and the rise in private building construction and emergence of
new industries give a beam to its business atmosphere.
Rice is the major crop in the province of Iloilo. Fish and marine products
are also considered the main source of livelihood in districts of Iloilo, as well as
Non-traditional products such as processed food, fruits and vegetables, gifts,
furniture, and others. Traditional products include sugar, coco oil, and lime
products, among others.
Air Quality
In the implementation of our project, the source of dust may come
from the clearing operations, especially during the excavations of soil
and during the construction, coming from the materials and emissions
of equipments to be used.
Noise Pollution
Noise Pollution is not always avoided especially for the construction
of structures. Source of noise may come from the equipments use in
construction itself.
Solid Waste
It is the waste produced by the construction activities
Water Pollution
The project will not cause much water pollution because the location
has still distance away from the sea. Contribution to water pollution is
not avoided; and it is only during the construction period.
13
Population Density
Since the project will be located inside the Seaport and near the sea, it
could make the place crowded but still attractive because of its good
use for future service.
14
3.3.2 Brief Discussion of Specific Significant Impacts on the Physical and
Biological Resources
Noise will not be a problem since the area is far from the main
road and from the residential areas. And also noise doesn’t have much effect on
the physical and biological aspect because the noise that it will produce will be
minimal knowing that the passengers who will benefit our project can understand
it and this noise is still manageable.
15
Changes in employment
With the operation of the Terminal building, employment will
increase not only in construction but also as an employee of maintaining
the operation of the said building.

4.2 Introduction
Seaports in Iloilo City became really useful to the people there but it
lacks accommodation facilities that results to the inconveniences of the passenger.
Every concern has its corresponding solution. The Port Authorities can’t of course
control the number of passenger using the seaports even though they lack such
accommodating facilities. There are several measures that can be done in giving a
solution to this problem. Convenience of the passengers must be prioritized by the
port authorities.

4.2 Review of Related Literature
In the interim, all transportation lines and/or port operators must contact the local
CBP office to coordinate required CBP project approval(s) and assistance in determining
project specific requirements. This early coordination with CBP will help ensure the

Land Productivity of Seaport Terminal *see ref. 4
When considering the terminal performance, attention is mostly directed toward
production factors such as labor, capital and technology within the confines of the
physical terrain. Operations on seaport terminals can be further enhanced by optimizing
processes and technical upgrades. The role of the general environment, however, often
remains neglected.
22
B. Port Functions and Traffic
The main function of a port is to supply services to freight (warehousing,
transshipment, etc.) and ships (piers, refueling, repairs, etc.). Consequently, it is
misleading to consider a port strictly as a maritime terminal since it acts concomitantly as
a land terminal where inland traffic originates or ends. Ports are becoming increasingly
regional in their dynamics, which represents a new development from their traditional
local function, namely as industrial complexes. For instance, the port of Hong Kong owes
its wealth to its natural site and its geographical position of a transit harbor for southern
China. A similar function is assumed by Shanghai for central China with the Yangtze
river system. Singapore, for its part, has been favored by its location at the outlet of the
strategic Strait of Malacca and is therefore a point of convergence of Southeast Asian
transportation. More than 90% if the traffic it handles is strictly transshipments. New
York has traditionally acted as the gateway of the North American Midwest through the
Hudson / Erie Canal system, a function which Western European ports such as Rotterdam
or Antwerp perform with their access to the Rhine system.
The main rationale behind the setting of many port authorities was their ability to
manage more efficiently port facilities as a whole rather than privately owned and
operated terminals. Since port facilities were becoming more complex and more capital
intensive, it was perceived that public agencies would be better placed to raise investment
capital and mitigate the risk of such investments. Port authorities tend to be vertically
integrated entities as they are involved in most of the activities related to port operations,
from the construction and maintenance of infrastructure to the marketing and
management of port services. Yet, their activities were limited within their jurisdictions,
an attribute that became increasingly at odds with the transformations of the maritime
shipping industry through globalization.
23
distribution, namely by improving hinterland transportation. Port regionalization is such
an outcome and indicates a higher level of integration between maritime and inland
transport systems, particularly by using rail and barge transportation, which are less prone
to congestion than road transportation. The development of global supply chains
increased the pressure on maritime transport, port operations, and on inland freight
distribution, which in turn has incited active container transloading activities in the
vicinity of port terminals. Inland accessibility has become a cornerstone in port
competitiveness since it can be serviced by several road, rail and barge transportation,
notably in Europe. Port regionalization is characterized by strong functional
interdependency and even joint development of a specific load center and logistics
platforms in the hinterland. This leads ultimately to the formation of a regional load
center network, strengthening the position of the port as a gateway. Cargo at ports always
required some transshipment to smaller ships used a feeders to smaller ports. For obvious
reasons, it is impossible to connect directly all possible port pairs, so transshipment is
required to insure connectivity within the global trading system. With the growth of
container volumes, many gateway ports were facing the challenge of handling export,
import and transshipment containers. This went on par with the growing share of
transshipments in regard to the totality of maritime containerized traffic, from around
11% in 1980, 19% in 1990, 26% in 2000 to about 29% in 2010. The number of times a
container is handled at a port is also increasing, underlining the setting of complex
containerized transport chains as well as the growing difficulties of transferring cargo
into large containerships.

4.3 Methodology
25
4.4 Conclusion and Recommendation
The building project is situated in a 700 square meter property duly owned by the
government and is allotted for the construction of a Port Terminal building for the
benefits of passengers using the ports. Modernization of ports nowadays is very
important; this provides an effective way of transportation.
We chose the building to have a vertical expansion rather than horizontal because
our area is limited and considering port operations, the building must conserve a space as
possible. In this way can avoid reclamation and the existing land will be enough for the
operations inside the port.
Vertical expansion will require big initial investment but the savings of this
project will be seen in the long run. As time will pass by, operation in the port will
increase and will require a larger area for its operation. We can use the portions of land
we save in having a vertical expansion; thus we can prevent reclamation that can affect
our environment. We can also avoid to spend lots of money in reclamation because this
process is very expensive.

The Structural Design of the 3-storey port passenger terminal building structure
has been done using Design Softwares. For the design of Reinforced Concrete Beams
and Columns, STAAD was used. On the other hand, for the design of Foundation
Footings, MIDAS was used. Design for slabs is computed through manual analysis
with the aid of Microsoft Excel. The analysis of calculation and results of these
designs are shown below

Problem about Foundation: the substructure might experience corrosion if we
don’t take into consideration the body of water near the structure
A vapor barrier is an impermeable membrane that blocks the flow of air through
the building envelope. A vapor barrier is an essential part of the building envelope.
Because the purpose of a vapor barrier is not obvious, this important component is often
omitted or installed incorrectly.
The main purpose of a vapor barrier is preventing the passage of the water vapor
that is contained in air. Vapor barriers and the insulation affect each other. They must
both be installed so that they interact beneficially rather than harmfully.

Conclusion and Summary
One of the biggest problems in our ports today is the lack of facilities that can
accommodate and give the passenger’s wants and needs. Ports is one of the most
important type of transportation, many are using it for it is cheap and affordable. The
increasing number of passengers in the port gives the authorities a problem where the
people can stay. Having a port terminal building is the main solution for this type of
problem. Terminal buildings were already established to other ports in our country and it
greatly shows an increase to its productivity. This can prove that having a terminal
building is not only a waste of money but it can help the ports to have a better operation
and service to the people.
Having a terminal building the authorities can give the basic wants and needs of
the passengers especially the amenities. We all know how important amenities are
especially in this type of building where great number of people is coming in and out.
With a terminal building we can put all the amenities in one place and maintain its
cleanliness unlike when there is no such building all the amenities were scattered in the
port area and some people might not feel comfortable to use it.
Since the land in the port is very limited we chose a vertical expansion so we can
save land spaces for future use in the port’s operation and to avoid reclamation. The 3-
storey port passenger terminal building will accommodate the people, it will be a modern
type of terminal building having it air-conditioned and escalators for ease of going up and
down the building. It will also have commercial facilities such as cafes and restaurants on
the 3rd floor of the building. The main reason of the authorities for making the terminal
building a modern one and air conditioned, is that the passengers is paying a terminal fee
so they want to return to the passengers what are they paying with a good service. The
building will also have a passage that will lead the passenger to the arriving and departing
ships. With the modernization of the terminal building we can provide the passengers the
right level of service; thus we can improve and organize well the operations inside the
port for faster services.

Chapter 10
Recommendations
The group recommends to the port officials to review our site development plan
for we just conceptualize it based on the plans the other existing ports have. They can
modify it and put some other facilities needed in the port’s operation for it to be more
productive.
The group also recommends that the sewage facility of the building must be
establish well and must be consulted to a Sanitary Engineer. The design must be
carefully done considering that the building operation must not affect the environment
especially the body of water near it. We must always take into consideration always
our environment before anything else.
If in case this project is accepted by the beneficiary and adopt it the researchers
recommend Value Engineering, because the values and data obtained in this project
have been calculated using the standard procedure in designing. Economic
considerations are yet to be applied. And also, the group recommends them to have the
estimation of the implementation of the site development for it is not the focus scope
of this study.

ARTICLE
I. INTRODUCTION
This paper is all about the design development of integrated sea port passenger terminal in Iloilo City,
Philippines. This country, as an archipelago, makes the maritime industry an important factor in achieving
economic progress. In fact, shipping remains the major means by which islands are linked and through
which movement of goods and people is achieved. There is no known island that cannot be reached by
ship or small boat. The significant role of shipping is even more emphasized if one is to consider the
government’s objective of achieving national unity by bridging cultural values and social norms.
The Port of Iloilo is considered as one of the safest natural seaports in the Philippines. Also, this city is
located near the sea that's why shipping is one of the means of connecting people from one place to
another. Actually, a number of shipping companies operate in the Port of Iloilo, including Lorenzo
Shipping Corporation, Aboitiz Shipping Company, Amigo Shipping Company, New Panay Shipping
Company, Negros Navigation Company, Sulpicio Lines, and Trans-Asia Shipping Lines Inc. Fast ferries
serve Iloilo-Bacolod routes eight times daily. Negros Navigation and Superferry dock to the city where it
serves routes going to Manila, Bacolod, Cebu, Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro City.
At present, the reality of Iloilo City's seaport terminals are not improving at all or even becoming worse.
Several passengers have experienced worse scenarios that lead to inconveniences which involve the lack
of accommodation facilities that will give shelter to the passenger from all types of weather, lack of
secured place and disorganized flow of passengers inside the port. Also the authorities experiences
problems due to the lack of accommodation facilities the passenger are staying everywhere inside the port
and thus leaving wastes that can give a bad effect to their operation. The fact that these happen, the group
proposes to design a three storey Port Passenger Terminal Building that can be constructed in an existing
area near the seashore because it is the only available area where the passenger terminal can be built. This
building aims to lower the cost of the project because the budget will come from the government and must
be minimized as much as possible. The building is integrated this means that it must incorporate inside all
the amenities that a typical port has. This is to improve the level of service that a passenger must
experience.
2.2 Project Objective
The main objective of this project is to design a three storey Port Passenger Terminal Building that can
conserve space so it can be used to other port operations, thus reclamation in the future can be avoided
without affecting the productivity of the port. Another objective is to organize the flow of passenger
inside, to provide passengers safe and sound structure that can rest on an area near the sea, a place that can
accommodate the passengers, a comfortable place to stay in while waiting, a place where the passengers
can secure their belongings, a place where they can get an easy access of transportation going home, a
shelter that can protect them from different types of weather. Also to organize the basic operations
happening in the port. Lastly with the use of indigenous materials, low cost can be ensured.
The major civil engineering field to be covered is Structural, the design of the superstructure will be a
three-storey building that will make use of our local materials and the minor areas to be covered are
Geotechnical and Transportation. For Geotechnical, the design will cover the substructure which is the
foundation of the building. Since it will rest on an area near the sea, appropriate foundation must be
designed carefully. For Transportation, the forecasting of number of people that will be using the port will
be the basis in determining the needed total lot area of the terminal building. Also appropriate design of
facilities will be constructed accordingly to flow of people that will be using the ships to travel.
The design of a three-storey passenger terminal building will benefit the Philippine Ports
Authority (PPA). The researchers together with the said authorities are planning a one-stop “shop”
passenger terminal providing all the needs of the passengers, after learning that there is no such
facilities providing terminal necessities. The passenger terminal building will be a great solution
for the problems that the passenger and the port authorities are experiencing.
This project can also benefit the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) in the future. The project can
serve as basis for the future developments.
This project will use design software to help us produce optimum designs and more time in computations.
The tools that the researchers will use are: AutoCAD, STAAD, and Sketch-up.
The proposed passenger terminal building is located at the Port of Iloilo City, which is near the
sea. To be able to have a proper design, a study on substructures with an appropriate design to address
such land condition must be done. There should also be a thorough research on the land where the
terminal building will be constructed during different weather conditions to ensure the safety feature of the
structure. To be able to design the proper floor plan for different passenger activities inside the building,
enough research about nimber of passengers and flow inside the port must be done. For safety of the
terminal building, thorough research on safety, rules and regulations and standardization of port terminals
shall be researched.
For the specification of project materials, a thorough study on very efficient materials available in the
country must be done and also for the installation of Reflective Tempered Walls, thorough research of the
materials’ property must be done if it will really be effective to use.
The poor state of some ports in the country is definitely alarming, travelling by ship is one of the most
affordable ways of transportation an ordinary individual can take. It is the goal of the project to provide a
safe and sound passenger terminal building that will accomodate and can give a comfortable place for
each passenger to stay in and also to have a place where they can get an easy access of their necessities
like foods and some of their needs inside the port. It will also be the aim of the project to be a high quality
passenger terminal building so that the passengers can be satisfied for the service that they had paid for.
The Integrated Passenger Terminal Building will be located at the port in Brgy. Progreso La Paz District,
Iloilo City. The proposed building will be rested on the area near the sea. The location is already an
operating port. The whole area covered is enough for a Port Terminal Building to be constructed. It is also
a little bit far from the main road but still reachable.
Ports in the Philippines have been serving great number of passengers due to the demand for affordable
transportation. The lack of place and facilities to accommodate such passengers is what the project amis to
solve. This three-storey port terminal building will provide a proper and orderly accommodation for the
passengers. This will include waiting areas which will have a design that can contain a great number of
passengers. Also, since it is a three-storey terminal building, the safety of the passenger will be the main
concern in designing the structure.
Furthermore, to lessen the cost of constructing the building, the project will make use of local materials
which will always be available around and are cheap not in terms of the quality but in terms of the cost.
3.2 Description of Environmental Setting and Receiving Environment
The proposed project location will be at Brgy. Progreso La Paz District Iloilo City, Iloilo. The project will
cover the whole port area but the passenger terminal building will mostly cover 700 square meter. It will
be rested on an area near a body of water. No animal and plant life will be affected. The area is already an
operating port but there is no existing Terminal Building. There are no residential houses nearby and it is
far from the main road but it still reachable.
The location of the proposed project is near the sea, near the area there are no residential houses but there
are informal settlers that will be forced to leave upon the construction for their safety. The area to be used
for the building was minimized so if ever there is a need for expansion in the future, reclamation will be
avoided. There are no wildlife that will be affected upon the construction and as well as with trees. The
site, is about 1 km away from the main road.
According to the website “www.1stphilippines.com” Iloilo City is the capital city of the province of Iloilo,
Philippines. It is the regional center and the main economic hub of the Western Visayas region. This is
situated in the center of the Philippine archipelago, approximately 283 statute miles from Manila and
serves as the gateway to the Western Visayas. The province comprises the southeastern part of Panay
Island.
Iloilo City is politically subdivided into 180 barangays which are grouped into six districts Arevalo (13
barangays), Arevalo (13 barangsays), Jaro (42 barangays), Mandurriao (18 barangays), Molo (25
barangays) and La Paz (37 barangays) where the location of the study is. The local government of Iloilo
City is headed by Mayor Jed Patrick E. Mabilod and Vice Mayor Jose Espinosa III.
In terms of the economy, the strategic location of Iloilo favorably resulted in making the city the
hub of trade, commerce and industry. The place also boasts of its excellent port facilities,
extensive infrastructure, modern telecommunications system and reliable utilities. Iloilo City has
a business-friendly local government that provides incentives to business in preferred investment
areas. Identified investment areas offer attractive incentives such as income tax holidays and free
issuance of permits and licenses.
Currently, there are 8,407 business establishments of which 1,182 are new. Total capital
investments for new business establishments are P 365,506,020.92. The city has 40 universal, 24
commercial, 11 governments, 9 thrift, 1 development, 9 savings, and one Thrift/Government and
two rural banks which include branches/extension offices in the different districts. Average per
Capita Income is P 65,036 and Average Per Capita Expenditures is P 51,557.
Iloilo is home to several commercial, savings, universal and rural banks. The city also has some
foreign banks, three of which are Malaya, Standard Chartered and China Bank. All in all, there
are about 112 banks in the city. Pawnshop and Jewelry stores can also be found in the city. Iloilo
City continues to stride towards revitalizing socio-economic growth. The coming in of multi-
million investments and the rise in private building construction and emergence of new industries
give a beam to its business atmosphere.
Rice is the major crop in the province of Iloilo. Fish and marine products are also considered the main
source of livelihood in districts of Iloilo, as well as Non-traditional products such as processed food, fruits
and vegetables, gifts, furniture, and others. Traditional products include sugar, coco oil, and lime products,
among others.
Without the project, the port cannot provide passengers a comfortable place to stay in, thus the passenger
can feel inconvenience and unsecured inside the port. And in the part of the Port Authorities, it is a big
problem if they take no action about the right accommodation of the passengers because waste from these
passengers are seen everywhere which can affect the ports and its operations. And also the operation or
quality service of the port will not be improved.
4.1 Introduction
Seaports in Iloilo City became really useful to the people there but it lacks accommodation facilities that
results to the inconveniences of the passenger. Every concern has its corresponding solution. The Port
Authorities can’t of course control the number of passenger using the seaports even though they lack such
accommodating facilities. There are several measures that can be done in giving a solution to this
problem. Convenience of the passengers must be prioritized by the port authorities.
It is important that Seaports nowadays must provide a Passenger Terminal Building due to the increasing
demand of such cheap mode of transportation. The Philippine Port Authorities are making actions to
address such problem not only in Iloilo city port but also to all the ports under them. In fact they already
finished constructing some port terminals that have been a great use and gave an ease to the operation of
their seaports. But constructing the said Terminal building is not an ordinary task for it will be rested on
an area near the sea.
The coverage of the project is to construct a safe and sound terminal building. The building will be used
for the accommodation of the passenger to give them a better place to stay in. This project will benefits
greatly the port authorities for they can the needs of their passengers and can make their operation more
organized and eventually faster.
One of the biggest problems in our ports today is the lack of facilities that can accommodate and
give the passenger’s wants and needs. Ports is one of the most important type of transportation, many are
using it for it is cheap and affordable. The increasing number of passengers in the port gives the
authorities a problem where the people can stay. Having a port terminal building is the main solution for
this type of problem. Terminal buildings were already established to other ports in our country and it
greatly shows an increase to its productivity. This can prove that having a terminal building is not only a
waste of money but it can help the ports to have a better operation and service to the people.
Having a terminal building the authorities can give the basic wants and needs of the passengers
especially the amenities. We all know how important amenities are especially in this type of building
where great number of people is coming in and out. With a terminal building we can put all the amenities
in one place and maintain its cleanliness unlike when there is no such building all the amenities were
scattered in the port area and some people might not feel comfortable to use it.
Since the land in the port is very limited we chose a vertical expansion so we can save land spaces
for future use in the port’s operation and to avoid reclamation. The 3-storey port passenger terminal
building will accommodate the people, it will be a modern type of terminal building having it air-
conditioned and escalators for ease of going up and down the building. It will also have commercial
facilities such as cafes and restaurants on the 3 rd floor of the building. The main reason of the authorities
for making the terminal building a modern one and air conditioned, is that the passengers is paying a
terminal fee so they want to return to the passengers what are they paying with a good service. The
building will also have a passage that will lead the passenger to the arriving and departing ships. With the
modernization of the terminal building we can provide the passengers the right level of service; thus we
can improve and organize well the operations inside the port for faster services.
Recommendations
The project entitled “Design of an Integrated Port Passenger Terminal Building in the port of Iloilo City,
Iloilo” strongly recommends to the officials of the Philippine Ports Authorities for they are the beneficiary
of this project.
The group recommends to the port officials to review our site development plan for we just conceptualize
it based on the plans the other existing ports have. They can modify it and put some other facilities needed
in the port’s operation for it to be more productive.
The group also recommends that the sewage facility of the building must be establish well and must be
consulted to a Sanitary Engineer. The design must be carefully done considering that the building
operation must not affect the environment especially the body of water near it. We must always take into
consideration always our environment before anything else.
This type of structure is to be highly deliberated when it comes to service, safety and security for it is a
kind of building that many people will be using for transportation is part of our daily life. The design of
the structure is compromised by these factors. Not just the architectural aspect, but also its structural
component.
