FOREWORD
The Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP) exists to advance the structural engineering practice, a proactive
voice in the development of codes and standards, and contributes to nation building by advocating pubiic safety and welfare, and
sustainability of the built environment. For more than four decades now, ASEP has been the sole provider, recognized by the
Department of Public Works and I-lighways, of the National Structural Code of the Philippines, a referral code of the National
Building Code.
The rst edition of the Nationai Structural Code for Buildings (NSCB) was published by ASEP in 1972. It was continuously
updated considering the latest design principles, technologies, and major calamities experience worldwide. A second edition was
released in I982, third edition in I987, fourth edition in 1992, itii edition in 2001, and sixth edition of the National Structural Code
of the Philippines (NSCP) in 2010.
Upon-the onset of the climate change phenomena, the Philippines was greeted with numerous natural disasters: Typhoon
lietsana/Ondoy (165 kph) and Typhoon Parrna/Pepeng (250 kph) in 2009, Typhoon Megi/Juan (295 kph) in 2010, Typhoon
Nesat/(Pedring (215 kph) in 2011, Typhoon Boplia/Pablo (280 kph) and Negros Occidental Earthquake (l\/16.7) in 20i2, Bohoi
i Earthquake (M7.2) and Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda (315 kph) in 2013. In 2014, ASEP Board, under the presidency of Engr. Carlos
3
5
1 M. Villaraza, decided that an update of the NSCP was essential to address the effects of environmental changes. Thus, the task of
making the 7"‘ Edition of the NSCP C101»i0 for Buildings, Towers and other Vertical Structures was set in motion.
The National Structural Code of the Philippines, 7"‘ Edition has still maintained its complete technical substance, updated to the
i
latest editions of applicabie reference code counterparts. Major changes are noted in the seismic loading calculations, which now
takes into consideration a near-source factor for 2km and below, as well as to adapt the latest fault maps provided by PHIVOLCS.
For the wind load calculations, wind zone maps are replaced by wind contour maps specific to the Philippine geography. It has been
a product of sustained effort of ASEP and realization of this endeavor has nally come to fruition during my incumbency.

PREFACE TO THE NSCP VOLUME 1, SEVENTH EDITION, 2015

was
d.
1. Introduction 1%
ASEP recognizes the need for an up-to-date structural code addressing the design and installation of structurai systems
through requirements emphasizing performance. The new National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP Volume i) is ad
designed to meet these needs through various model codes/regulations, generally from the United States, to safeguard the
pubiic health and safety nationwide.
*%
This‘ updated Structural Code establishes minimum requirements for structural systems using prescriptive and
performance-based provisions. It is founded on broad~bascd principles that make possible the use of new materials and
new building designs. Also, this code refiects the latest seismic design practice for earthquake-resistant structures.
2. Changes and Developments
In its drive to upgrade and update the NSCP. the ASEP Codes and Standards Committee initially wanted to adopt the latest
editions of American code counterparts. However, for cases where available local data is limited to support the upgrade,
then some provisions and procedures of the NSCP 7"‘ edition were retained. W

¢¢
¢¢ The load factors and load combinations are revised particularly the load combinations
(
including wind load.
Section 205 — Live Loads
2, Additional loads are incorporated in the tabie for minimum uniform and concentrated ioads
i
particularly the parking garage and ramp live load.
5 Section 207 ~ Wind Loads
t Wind load provisions, which were previously based on ASCE7-05, are updated based on
§
$ ASCE7-10. In this edition, three different wind contour maps for the entire Rhilippine
2s archipelago are generated and provided for determining the basic wind speeds for different
categories of building occupancies as defined in Table E03-l. These maps provide basic wind
<
> speeds that are directly applicable for determining pressures for design strength. Strength
9
design wind load factor is 1.0; whereas, allowable stress design wind load factor is 0.6.
Generally, basic wind speeds correspond to 3%, 7% and 15% probability of exceedance in 50
years (MRI = l700,700 and 300 years, respectively). Four (4) permitted procedures in
determining the design wind loads for main wind-force resisting systems (MWFRS), for other
<
< structures and building appurtenances and for components and cladding (C&C) are provided
<
4 such as;
1
<
0 directional procedure for buildings of all heights,
0 envelope procedure for low-rise buildings,
I directional procedure for other structures and building appurtenances and
analytical procedure for components & cladding, and
= wind tunnel procedure
<
The ANSI EEA/TIA-222-G-2005 and ANSI EIA/TIA-222G-1-2007 are now fully referenced
for computing wind loads on steel antenna towers and antenna supporting structures.
Section 208 M Earthquake Loads

The near-source factors for 2-km distance from a causative fault is included in addition to 5-
km, 10-km, E5-km distance and beyond E5-km distance.
< ASCE/SEI 7-10, using spectral acceleration, is recognized as an alternative procedure in the
determination of the earthquake loads.

This new Section has been added to Chapter 4 to introduce structurai system requirements.
t
< This Section contains Sub-sections on Materials, Design Loads, Structural System and Load
J
I
Paths, Structurai Anaiysis, Strength, Serviceability, Durability, Sustainability, Structural
el
.<
Integrity, Fire Resistance, Requirements for Speci c Types of Construction, Construction and
<
Inspection, and Strength Evaluation of Existing Structures. Most of these Suh-sections refer to
the other Sections in the NSCP. The Sub-section on construction and inspection, for instance,
<<
3 refers to Section 426. In the areas for Sustainability and Fire Resistance, the NSCP does not
have speci c requirements. This Sub-section on Sustainability allows the iiccnsed design
t
professional to specify in the construction documents, sustainabiiity requirements in addition
X
2Q
to the strength, serviceability, and durability requirements of the NSCP. The strength,
4 serviceability, and durabiiity requirements are required to take precedence over sustainability
"¢
considerations, though these requirements are generally in harmony with sustainabie
SQ

12
structures. In the Snb~section on Fire Resistance, the NSCP refers to the re-protection
t requirements of the NSCP Chapter 4, Sub~section 420.6. l. However, if the National Building
K‘
Q Code of the Philippines requires a greater concrete cover, such greater thickness shall govern.

é For many Code revision cycles, ACl 318 retained provisions for service-levei earthquake

codes foliowed suit. In modern building codes around the world, earthquake loads are now
se
strength-levei forces. Any references to service-level earthquake forces have been deleted. 2
d.6 Section 406: Structural Analysis
The following new item has been added in Sub-section 4-06.6.2.3:
(b) For frames or continuous construction, it shall be permitted to assume the intersecting member
regions are rigid.
Previous NSCP 6"‘ Edition has been silent on the use of nite clement analysis (PEA), though it is now
frequently used. Sub-section 406.9 now has provisions that are intended to explicitly ailow the use of
PEA and to provide a framework for the future expansion of FEA provisions, but not as a guide toward
the selection and use of FEA software. The new Sub-section on diaphragms and collectors makes
explicit reference to the use of FEA, which makes it imperative that the NSCP 7"‘ Edition recognize the
acceptability of its use.
d.7 Section 408: Two-Way Slabs

Sub-section 4l8.10.l (corresponding to AC1 3i8l\/I-l 1. Section t8.9.l), says that a minimum
area of bonded reinforcement shall be provided in all exural members with unbonded
prestressing tendons. The purpose of the minimum unbonded reinforcement over the tops of
columns is to distribute cracking caused by high local flexural tensile stresses in areas oi’ peak §
negative moments. However, the high local flexural tensile stresses are not unique to stabs
with unbonded tendons. The new reorganized Sub-section 408.6.2.3 (corresponding to AC1
.
318M-14 Section 8.6.2.3) requires the same minimum reinforcement in slabs with unbonded
or bonded tendons. except that the area of bonded tendons is considered effective in §“at
controlling cracking. gs}. ..\21
/“r
It was also decided by the AC1 3i8 Committee, that if the same bonded reinforcement were §
required for both bonded and unbondecl post-tensioned two-way systems, the structural V
-;;g=.»~
integrity requirements for both systems shouid also be the same. The structural integrity ':%
requirements in ACI 318M-El, Section l8.l2.6 applied to two-way post-tensioned slab /
systems with unbonded tendons only. The structural integrity requirements in AC1 318M-14 M5
t
Section 8.7.5.6 (corresponding to the NSCP 2015. Sub-section 408.7.5.6) now apply to two-
:1
way post-rensioned slab systems with bonded as well as unbonded tendons.

d.E0 Section 418: Earthquake-Resistant Structures

There are a number of significant and substantive changes to this Section.
Column con nement » The ability of the concrete core of a concrete reinforced column to sustain compressive
strains tends to increase with con nement pressure. Con nement requirements for columns of special moment
frames, and for columns not designated as part of the seismic-force-resisting system in structures assigned to
seismic zone 4 (similar to ASCE 7-10 Seismic Design Categories D, E, and F), with high axial load or high
concrete compressive strength are signi cantly different.
Transverse reinforcement - One important new requirement for special moment frame columns are included in
Sub-sections 41 8.7.5.2 and 4l8.7.5.4. There are new restrictions on the use of headed reinforcement to make up
hoops.
Special moment frame beam-column joints — For beam-column joints of special moment frames, clari cation of
the development length of the beam longitudinal reinforcement that is hooked, requirements for joints with
headed longitudinal reinforcement, and restrictions on joint aspect ratio are new. For beam-coiumn joints of
special moment frames, clari cation of development length of beam Eongitudinal reinforcement that is hooked,
requirements for joints with headed longitudinal reinforcement, and restrictions on joint aspect ratio are new.
tasinreu simat>r<»vsm\x=:>r2eatisx musaeiwn
Special shear walls - Subsection 418.10 (equivaient to ACl 318-14M-14 Section 18.10, previously
ACI 318M-El Section 21.9), has been extensively revised in view of the performance of buildings in the Chile
earthquake of 2010 and the Christchurch, New Zealand, earthquakes of 2011, as weils as full~scalc reinforced
concrete building tests. in these earthquakes and laboratory tests, concrete spalling and vertical reinforcement
buckling were at times observed at wall boundaries.
For ASTM A615 Grade 420 bars used as longitudinal reinforcement in special moment frames and special shear
walls, the NSCP 7"‘ Edition now requires the same minimum elongation as ASTM A706 reinforcement.
£1.11 Section 419: Concrete: Design and Durability Requirements
Quite a few changes have been made in concrete durability requirements, which are now located in this Section.
d.12 Section 420: Steel Reinforcement Properties, Durability and Emhedments
The definition of yield strength of high-strength reinforcement for Grade 420 (Grade 60) in this Section is now,
for the first time, the same as that in ASTM speci cations, except for bars with less than 420 MPa, the yield
§\
strength shalt be taken as the stress corresponding to a strain of 0.35 percent.
Deformed and plain stainless steel wire and welded wire conforming to ASTM AEO22 is now permitted to be
used as concrete reinforcement.
Sub-section 420.2.2.5 requires “Deformed non-prestressed longitudinal reinforcement resisting earthquake
moment, axial force, or both, in special moment frames, special structural walls, and all the components of
special structural walls including coupling beams and wall piers“ to be ASTM A706 Grade 420 (Grade 60),
ASTM 615 Grade 275 (Grade 40) or Grade 420 (Grade 60) reinforcement is permitted if two supplementary
requirements are met, which are already part of the ASTM A706 speci cation. A third supplementary
requirement is now added for ASTM A615 (Grade 60) reinforcement to be permitted for use in special moment
frames, special structural walls. The minimum elongation in 200 mm (8”) must now be the same as that ASTM
A615 (Grade 60) reinforcement.
One aspect of the Code compliance that the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines is cautioning
Designers and Constructors alike, is the introduction of ASTM 615 Grade 520 (Grade 75) in the Philippine

' market. Since this was not covered by previous editions of the NSCP Vol. l, it creates an impression of an
unregulated use of a new high-strength reinforcement grade. NSCP 7"‘ Edition. as
To put it clearly, Sub-section 420.2.2.5, corresponding to AC1 318M-14 Section 20.2.2.5, speci es the ea 1
an
ag
use of deformed non-prestressed Eongitudinal reinforcement resisting earthquake-induced moment,
axial force, or both, in special moment frames, special structural walls, and all components of special
structural walls, including coupling beams, and wall piers which shali be in accordance with (a) or (b): vat ‘
=‘;
(tn. ASTM A706l\/I, Grade 420
(b). ASTM A6l5M, Grade 230
./4;
There was no mention that ASTM A615M, Grade 520, was allowed, although the use of micro-alloyed 7%
ggg .,
high-strength reinforcement may be allowed in the future through the issuance of a new ASTM or
updated standard, and with proper validation by the Department of Trade and lndnstry‘s Bureau of
Standards. It will be premature to aliow its use for special moment frames, speciai structural walls, and
all components of special structural walls, including coupling beams, and wail piers for Buildings
located in areas of high seismicity (zone 4). The same restrictions indicated in Sub-section 420."/K6, on Isaat?‘
the use of €§L1€nClt€(i—t€tTlp6t'6(l thermo-mechanically treated (QT/TMT) reinforcing bars in structures
located in seismic zone 4 for Grade 420 reinforcement, shali aiso be applied to Grade 520, unless
proven in subsequent studies and tests.
(1.13 Section 422: Sectional Strength

The following are the changes in Section 422:
Mg

Mechanical or welded splices with strengths below l25% of the yieid strength of the spiiced reinforcing
bars are no longer permitted. The associated stagger requirements have been deleted. Thus there is no
longer a need to specify “full” mechanical or “full” welded splices.

In this section, the user will probably require some time to get used to, it starts with the "following: \~¢

Thus, construction and inspection requirements have been consolidated, and they are now related to
construction documents. The construction requirements are designated either as “design information” or 2;%1”<

inspection requirements in Sub-section 426.13 are taken from Chapter 17 of the 2015 Interumioiml
Bzti/ding Code (IBC) and were previously not part of ACE 318.
Provisions in AC1 318-11 and earlier editions, which explained basic statistical considerations
in mixture proportioning, are no longer found in AC1 318-14. Instead, AC1 30E-E0,
Specf cationsfor Structural Concrete, is referenced.

These are some other changes in the makeup ofNSCP 2016 7"‘ Edition that should be noted:
1. There are two new Sections: Section 404, Structural System Requirements and
Section 412, Diaphragms.
2. Section 422, Structural Plain Concrete, now Section 414.
3. Section 423, Anchoring to Concrete, is now Section 417, with no significant
changes.
4. Section 421, Earthquaite~Resistant Structures, now Section 418.
5. Section 427, Strut-and-Tie Models is now Section 423, with no signi cant
changes.
6. Section 420, Strength Evaluation of Existing Structures, is now Section 427.

7. Section 419, Shells and Folded Plates, is now Section 428.
8. Section 424, Alternative Design Method, now Section 429, is adapted from
earlier editions of the NSCP.
9. Section 425, Alternative Provisions for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete
Flexural and Compression Members, and Section 426, Altemative Load and
Strength Reduction Factors, have been discontinued.
10. On the other hand, Section 416, Precast Concrete, and Section 418, Prestressed
Concrete, no longer exist as separate entities. The provisions of these Sections
1
1 are now spread over several of the new Sections.
Sub-section 4l8.18, Requirements for post-tensioning ducts and grouting have also been removed as

Letter of Acknowledgement and Appreciation 1:4
it
lt is with a deep sense of professional satisfaction that the ASEP NSCP Code Committee has accomplished the
arduous task of updating the NSCP Structural Code for Buildings 2010 Edition to this new 20i5 Edition, and ,9; >i
offers this to the Membership, the General public as well as students in the allied professions.
This would not have been possible without the sel ess efforts of the various ASEP NSCP Code Committee
Chairmen and Members as well as the ASEP Editorial Board and the Secretariat.
This NSCP 2015 Edition is not just a reprint as it contains important changes speci cally in Earthquake and Wind
loading provisions as well as in the Qualifieci Use of Quenched Tempered (QT) or Therm0- Mechanically Treated
Reinforcement (TMT). (Subsection 420.7.6 - Structural Concrete)
In the case of the earthquake provisions, the ASE? board in an en bane session has decided to include the 2 .1 \~‘(-‘
kilometer Nearness Factors to the Provisions due to fairly recent instrumented records showing large increases in
Earthquake velocity and acceleration within the two kilometer distance near the causative fault. (Subsection
208.4.4.3 lvlinimum Design Load) Wt...
The wind loading provisions have also been revised with a more concise color coded map of wind velocities as
well as lso~contours '~'v¢ //it
In the case of QT/TMT reinforcing bars, the quali cations on the use of these reinforcing bars have been .-;\
.._f%A
V \/.(>‘>x<a‘<.
highlighted to warn the public on the ordinary construction practices and procedures normally applicable to Micro
alloyed rebars, which would not be applicable to QT/TMT REBARS as these would serve to weaken the rebar 3%?
and downgrade its strength properties to that of the core material. '
In addition, such use in critical structures, where premature bond failure could result, would result in failure of the
structural element. The ASEP has preceded this publication with numerous lectures and symposia on the
detrimental effects of the use of QT/TMT reinforcing bars in critical structures and high rise buildings speci cally
in Seismic Zone 4. . .4
We have also seen t to provide anti-l’iracy Provisions in this Edition in order to protect the lntellectual Property
rights of our organization. With this, it would be harder for unscrupulous individuals or organizations to replicate
and print unauthorized copies. We shall also be notifying sales outlets for the NSCP 2015 to accept only
authorized versions. The features will also make unauthorized copies easily detected, from the cover and allow it
your Organization to prosecute offenders.

Structural Engineering as recognized by the Board of Civil
Engineering of the Professional Regulation Commission or
by the Specialty Division of tl1e Philippine Institute of Civil
Engineers (PICE) together with the Association of
Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP) and
Institution of Specialist Structural Engineers of the
Philippines (ISSEP).
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING is a discipline of civil

engineering deating with the analysis and design of
structures that support or resist ioacls insuring the safety of
the structures against naturai forces.
STRUCTURAL FAILURE is the reduction of capability

of a structural system or component to such a degree that it
cannot safely serve its intended purpose. 5
Structural failures can be divided into various categories

based on consequential damages to inciude: Catastrophic
Failure with Loss of Life, Catastrophic Failure in which No
Human Lives are Endangered, Failure Resulting in
Extensive Property Damage, and Failure Resulting in
Reduced Serviceabilityj
~.~.
STRUCTURAL INSPECTION is the visual observation

by a structural inspector of a particular type of construction
work or operation for the purpose of ensuring its general
compliance to the approved plans and speci cations and
.5;
the applicable workmanship provisions of this code as well
as overali construction safety at various stages of
..-..,$ construction.
STRUCTURAL OBSERVATION is the visual

w
observation of the structurai system by the structural
5
% observer as provided for in Section l07.9.2, for its general
conformance to the approved plans and specifications, at
signi cant construction stages and at completion of the
structural system. Structural observation does not include
1 14% or waive the responsibiiity for the structural inspections
required by Section 107.1 or other sections of this code.

PREFACE
The advocacy of the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippine (ASEP) is to uphold the high standards in structural
2?
engineering practice in the Philippines. ASEP has achieved this by updating the Phitippine structural design codes and ensure
that these are at par with international standards, as well as adapt them for Lise in the Philippine setting.

This Design Peer Review Manual is the latest update which shall supplement the National Structural Code of the Philippines
(NSCP). The purpose of this manual is to provide an independent review of the structurat design of a structure, and to assure
that it conforms with the requirements of the latest edition of the NSCP and related technical standards to promote life safety
and sound engineering design practices.
The provisions in the Manual does not require the conduct ofpeer review on all types of structures but rather on certain features
f of structures (i.e. importance, occupancy, vulnerability to earthquake). However, the owner may use this Manual as reference
n if peer review of their structure is preferred. The use of this Manual is intended to promote exchange of design principles and
1
¢
y innovative ideas, and to practice good professional ethics among the Owner, Engineenof-Record, and Peer Reviewer.
This Manual shall only be used as intended and as stipulated in its objectives.

introduction
;.- -<4
Design review is incorporated in most building codes to provide the means for professional discussion and evaluation of
structural design of projects. Thus, these reviews are the eye openers for the resolution of problems encountered before a critical
is phase of the construction project. Design review truly enhances the ideas for public safety overall and quality assurance.
Furthermore, it disseminates innovation through sharing of information.
Earthquake for instance is a phenomenon that man has been trying to study for centuries but up to present time is still
unpredictable. We, as structural engineers, are faced with the greatest challenge offorinulating procedures on how to lessen if
511/ not eliminate destruction and casualties due to this. We want to make sure that the intent of our design is carefully followed
’\\.2
*“"»>°
~‘t’%£‘-$5“
and carried out in the most professional manner. The burden of setting up and observing rules on how to achieve what has been
planned rest upon our shoulders. Design review can be a valuable tool faced with this challenge.

Obieqtives of tlagllwisn Peer Review j j j j j j j or o. g

The current trend in the Eocal construction industry is the development of many high-rise buildings. On account of this, it is the
objective of this peer review to improve section 104.5 of NSCP 2010, to ensure the aim for life safety, to observe economy in
design and to protect the investment of clients.
The Peer Review aims to carry out positive results in the following areas:
0 To comply structural engineering design, drawings and speci cation with the minimum requirements of NSCP and other
acceptable established codes and standards;
0 To maintain the quaiity of projects;
e To improve and maintain the high standards in the practice of structural engineering;
0 To promote exchange of information and innovative ideas between the designers and reviewers;
e To inform the Owner-Client on the bene ts of this exercise and any possible cost implications resulting from the review;
0 To de ne implementing matrix of all structures subject to practical independent review; and
1&1 0 To promote professionai ethics in the conduct of independent or peer review.
Application of ASEP Peer Review Guidelines 7 My

These ASEP guidelines are intended speci cally for the mandatory conduct of a Design Review as per the National Structural
.c. Code of the Philippines (NSCP Volume 1, 2010 Edition).
As stipulated in NSCP Section 104.5, Design Review is required for the foliowingz
1. Structures with irregular configuration in Occupancy Categories 1 (Essential Facilities), H (Hazardous Facilities) or Ill
(Special Occupancy Structures) in Zone 4;
2. Structures under Alternative Systems in Section 101.4; and,
3. Unde ned Structural Systems (those not listed in Table 208-11).
For structures covered by the mandatory Design Review, all related works shall be deemed as included in the Engineer-o
Record‘s scope of works, unless explicitly excluded in his work agreement.
For structures not included above but which are to be subjected to a Design Review as an additional requirement by the Owner,
the coverage, extent, and procedures shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Owner/Peer Reviewer, and the Engineer-otl
Record (EOR) and may not be as recommended in these Guidelines. Additionaliy, since works connected or related to such
Design Review are not covered by the basic structural services of the EOR, these shall be subject to a separate scope and
compensation for the EOR.

observe fairness and professionalism in the practice of independent review. This shall not by any means be a
channel to conduct criticism nor be a means to discredit the reviewer or the EOR, and disenfranchise them of
the contract service they are awarded.
e There will be good understanding of the structures and relationships between the Owner-Client and the
structural engineering community resulting to enhanced programs of future developments and projects.
e There will be good relationships between designers and reviewers by improving the design through constructive
reporting.
e The review will be conducted smoothly in the light of fairness and professionalism, without unfair practice and
criticism to neither discredit nor disenfranchise any of the reviewer or EOR.
.
e The review will bring assurance to the Owner-Client of compliance to codes and standards, assurance of better
engineering of the proposed structure, the improvement in design and safety as well as improvement in 5%?
construction implementation and program, elimination of unsafe design and possible work delays from
unwanted and costly repairs, among others.

!
1*? ;
The review analysis and design criteria must meet the requirement of the Owner-Client as de ned in his design brief inciuding
any applicable item in the Terms of Reference which form part of their agreement with the EOR.
Preferably, the PR shalt use the same design criteria and standards specified by the EOR. Deviations from the said criteria and
standards must be done only with the permission of the EOR.
w/‘
Software to be used in the review shoutd preferabiy be the same software used by the EOR (e.g. the same editions or versions).
The difference of versions shouid be agreed upon but a difference of one level may be considered acceptable unless the more
recent versions euipioy a different analysis procedures or features that are almost entirely different to the EOR’s software
procedures or features.
1%
.,§ :--
if/i
'
Language to be Used
-. t5-
The manner of reporting shall always be factual. Numerical values and status to be presented must be taken purely from the
nal design review documents submitted and from the results of the independent review's analysis and assessments per
,
€~/ applicable codes and standards.
B1
The terms and phrases to be included in reporting any issue arising from the design review must be written carefully and re ect
2
professionalism. The PR must not use offensive nor malicious words or phrases. Thus, the report must be factual and
7‘
,
,
eniightening for the EOR and PR.
\..
¢
~/
*3 The assessment of each part of the report should avoid terms like erroneous, in error and misses, among others. Reporting
4
shouid preferably be neutral, for example, statement for bars needing additional quantity may be stated “underestimated” and
t, bars in element with quantities that maybe reduced may be stated that “bars are overestimated by as much as 25%”.
2
,/,
The PR shall make comments that are clear, legible and complete so that the EOR will easily understand it. Clear comments
2*?‘-i ‘ <1 .-
»
’ _.1;~.. .. will eliminate confusion and reduce time spent in back-check.
?
2/
Mark-up and Comments
M
Generally, comments shouid be complete, ciear and legible.
Ifpossible, the PR shouid use words which would apply to numerous drawings so that the comments do not need to be repeated
on each drawing.
W
é When the PR makes the same speci c comments at many different details, the comments should be identi ed by either creating
\ a standard, numbered iist of comments with the comment numbers referenced at each detail, or by marking the comments on
\'* each detail.
~
/J
The PR may use ‘paste-on‘ comments where applicable to save time and to maintain uniformity of comments.

I. From table for Exposure C, V, it nod roofslopc, determine roof pressure ph for each roofzonc shown in the gures for the applicable roof form. For J
I»=:‘A$°
other exposures B or D, multiply pressures from table by appropriate exposure adjustment factor as determined from gure below. »:£:-/ V. 5?»;
2. Where two load eases are shown, both load cases shall be investigated. Load case 2 is required to investigate maximum overturning on the building from ' -:
root’ pressures shown.
3. Appiy along-wind net wall pressures to the projected area ofthe building wails in the direction ofthe wind and apply exterior side wall pressures to the
1I
pT0j6C[Cd area ofthe building walls normal to the direction ofthe wind acting outward, simultaneously with the roof pressures From Table 20713.6-2.
4. Where a value of zero is shown in the tables For the at roofcase, it is provided for the purpose ofintcrpolation. :- ;4;r;».;»

Notes:
For values 0f9 other than those shown, linear interpolation is permitted.
The building must be designed for all wind directions using the 8 loading patterns shown. The load patterns are applied to each building
corner in turn as the Windward Comer.
Combinations of external and internal pressures (see Table 207A.l l-l) shall be evaluated as required to obtain the most severe loadings.
For the torsional load cases shown below, the pressures in zones designated with a “T” (IT, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T) shall be 25% ofthe full
design wind pressures (zones l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
Exception: One storey buildings with ll less than or equal to 9 m, buildings two storeys or less amed with light ame
construction, and buildings two storeys or less designed with flexible diaphragms need to be designedfor the torsional load cases.
Torsional loading shall apply to all eight basic load patterns using the gures below applied at each Windward Corner. -
For purposes of designing a building’s MWFRS, the total horizontal shear shall not be less than that determined by neglecting the wind
forces on the roof.
Exception: This provision does not apply to buildings using moment frames for the MWFRS.
For at roofs, use 0 = 0" and locate the zone 2/3 and zone 2E/3E boundary at the mid-width ofthe building.
The pressure coef cient (GCM), when negative in Zone 2 and 2E, shall be applied in Zone 2/2E for a distance from the edge of the roof
equal 0.5 times the horizontal dimension of the building parallel to the direction of MWFRS being designed or 2.5 times the eave height
at the windward wall, whichever is less; the remainder of Zone 2/2E extending to the ridge line shall use the pressure coef cient (GCPI)
for zone 3/3E.

1 The term "signs" in notes below also applies to "freestanding walls“.
2 Signs with openings comprising less than 30% of the gross area are classi ed as solid signs. Force coefficients for solid signs with
openings shall be permitted to be multiplied by the reduction factor (1 — (1 — r-:)1 5).
3 To allow for both normal and oblique wind directions, the following cases shall be considered:
For s/ h < 1:
CASE A: resultant force acts normal to the face of the sign through the geometric center.
CASE B: resultant force acts normal to the face of the sign at a distance from the geometric center toward the windward
edge equal to 0.2 times the average width ofthe sign.
For B/s 2 2, CASE C must also be considered:
CASE C: resultant forces act normal to the face of the sign through the geometric centers of each region.
For s/ h = 1:
The same cases as above except that the vertical locations of the resultant forces occur at a distance above the geometric
center equal to 0.05 times the average height of the sign
For CASE C where s/h > 0.8, force coef cients shall be multiplied by the reduction factor (1.8 — s/h).
Linear interpolation is permitted for values of s/h, B/s and L,/s other than shown.
