ASEP Continuing Education Lecture: Design of Structural Steel Members using LRFD
ASEP Continuing Education Summit 2012 invites you to a lecture on:
What: CEL-04: Design
of Structural Steel Members using LRFD
When: June 9, 2012
Time: 11:00 – 12:30
Where: La Breza
Hotel, QC
Who: Resource
Speaker – Alfredo B. Juinio, Jr., F.ASEP
About the Lecture:
The main objective of structural engineering
design is to produce a safe and economical structure that will serve its
intended purpose. Safety in this context
is primarily provided by ensuring that the structure’s strength is sufficient
to resist the maximum load actions that may act during the life of the structure. However, the determination of
strength of the structure and values of the loads are at best only
estimates. Because of uncertainties in
the strength and load actions, design specifications generally prescribe a
generally accepted design methodology to ensure that the probability of the
strength being less than the load actions is small.
Historically, the Working Stress Design
Method (WSD) was the most prevalent. In
the past few decades, this has been supplanted by the Load and Resistance
Factor Design (LRFD) Method. In the
current National Code of the Philippines (NSCP 2010 Volume I, Buildings, Towers
and other Vertical Structures, 6th Edition), the provisions of the
2005 specifications of the American Institute of Steel Construction, Inc (AISC)
were adopted for Chapter 5 on Structural Steel.
These specifications prescribe the use of the LRFD and the Allowable
Strength Design (ASD) Methods.
The lecture will cover discussions on
uncertainties in the determination of strengths and load actions, margin of
safety, load factors and load combinations, strength reduction factors, and the
concept of limit states. Limit states
are conditions beyond which the structure or structural component ceases to
fulfill its intended function. Aside
from the use of partial factors for loads and strength, as opposed to a single
factor of safety in the WSD, the adoption of the limit state design philosophy
into the LRFD is probably the most important improvement of the LRFD. A qualitative overview of the limit states
and codal provisions for structural steel members in tension, compression and
flexure shall also be presented.

Part A: Effects of Unchartered Faults of the NSCP 2010
When:
June 9, 2012
Time: 16:00-16:40
Where:
La Breza Hotel, QC
Who:
Resource Speaker – Engr. Carlos M.
Villaraza, F.ASEP
About the Lecture:
Earthquake Engineering is both an art and a science that is in
continuous evolution. As new data from research and observations of structural
performance during actual earthquakes are gathered, existing parameter may
either be reinforced or revised. The Philippines has an extensive earthquake
data that need to be classified to be of use to the current knowledge in earthquake
engineering. These historical non-instrumental data extends from 1589 until
1901 when instrumental records became available. The first Building Code to
require seismic analysis was in 1966. Since then, country’s National Structural
Code of the Philippines (NSCP) has been updated 8 times to conform to the
present state of the art in earthquake resistance design.
Until the 5th Edition of the National Structural Code of
the Philippines, it has adopted in its entirety the Uniform Building Code of
the United States. Lately, more studies were conducted regarding the seismicity
of the country. In the absence of Strong Ground Motion data, simulations were
made to come up with its own seismic acceleration map applicable to the
country. Although it is still cross-referenced to the International Building
Code of the United States, experiences from recent earthquake events in Japan
last 11 March 2011 and the February 2011 event in New Zealand has been studied
for correlation purposes.
About the Lecturer:
Carlos M.
Villaraza is a Structural-Earthquake Engineering Consultant. He has over thirty five years of
extensive experience in structural engineering design, seismic design parameter
studies and seismic risk analyses. He has been involved in the review of the earthquake
provisions of the National Structural Code of the Philippines since 1987 and
Chairman of the NSCP 2010 General
Requirements and Loads & Actions,
a member of the APEC Informal Network on earthquake provisions for the
Harmonization of Building Codes in the APEC Region and the review of ISO
provisions covering lateral loads and general loading conditions.
A graduate
of B.S. Civil Engineering from the University of Santo Tomas – Manila (1976),
he received his Post Graduate Diploma in Earthquake from the International
Institute for Seismology and Earthquake Engineering in Japan (1986).

ASEP Continuing Education Lecture: Geophysical Methods in Civil Engineering – Practical Applications

– 15:00
Where:
La Breza Hotel, QC
Who:
Resource Speaker – Emilio
M. Morales, CE, MSCE, F.PICE. F.ASCE, F.ASEP
About the Lecture:
Geophysical
methods are generally noninvasive or nondestructive methods long used in the
construction industry for investigation of the subsurface. Principally, these
are used for the detection of geologic anomalies such as cavities and voids,
detection of buried pipes and other utilities, detection of water bearing
aquifers for well development, exploitation of quarries and in determining soil
stratification or layering. In addition, the methods provide a means for
verifying as constructed pavement thicknesses in a continuous unbroken image of
the pavement structural configuration or determining rebar embedment and layout
non-destructively.
The use
of geophysical methods confers advantages as they generally speed up the
process of investigation, provide continuous streams of information not
otherwise available in discrete sampling or invasive procedures and give
advance information on what to expect for a given locality before a more
detailed and costly soil exploration is even planned. Thus geophysical methods
are a force multiplier for the engineer and allow the user to identify
potential problem areas or target areas even before the start of a detailed
Soil Exploration program.
Geophysical
methods are not a replacement to a detailed soil exploration program; rather they
augment these programs to yield more meaningful and area extensive but more intensive
information at the fraction of the time and cost.
The
Paper discusses three general methods which have been employed by the authors
in various projects. Case histories are discussed to highlight successful
deployment of these methods in the Construction Industry.

ASEP A.CONCEPT Lecture: Development of Practical Tools for Vulnerability and Safety Evaluation of CHB Houses in the Philippines
ASEP Summit 2012 invites you to an A.CONCEPT lecture on:
What: PLE-01:
Development of Practical Tools for Vulnerability and Safety Evaluation of
CHB Houses in the Philippines
When:
June 8, 2012
Time: 9:30-10:30
AM
Where:
La Breza Hotel , QC
Who:
Resource Speaker – Hiroshi
Imai, PhD.
About the Lecture/Abstract:
In the past earthquakes, the loss of life was most commonly caused
by collapsed buildings constructed by using masonry. These collapsed buildings
were not constructed to be earthquake resistant, hence called “Non-Engineered
Construction”, which are ironically, widely constructed in seismic prone areas.
For the housing situation in the Philippines, most of the non-engineered houses
are CHB masonry structures. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the
seismic performance of these existing CHB houses for disaster mitigation.
The Shaking Table Test was conducted on February 2011 at the National Research Institute for
Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED), Tsukuba
Japan, to investigate some typical houses in the Philippines. The house specimens
(3600 x 3600 x 2600mm) are of two types, Model A is an “Engineered” model complying
with the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2010, 6th
Edition (NSCP 2010), and Model B is a “Non-Engineered” model which is a typical house constructed in
Philippines. Through the Shaking Table Test, the vulnerable points of the CHB
structures were figured out. It was particularly shown that in the “Non-Engineered”
model, the end gable CHB wall and mortar joints of masonry units were
vulnerable to damage, and some of the factors affecting damage were the quality
of the CHB grout (mortar used to fill the CHB’s hollow part), and strength of
CHB unit itself, etc.
The first step for disaster reduction is to understand the disaster
risk. In order for earthquake disaster reduction to be successful, it is critical
that the stakeholders such as government officers, masons and contractors,
community leaders, and house owners should understand the earthquake risk,
which includes the estimated damage of their house, community and city. To
promote earthquake disaster mitigation, the stakeholders must understand the
earthquake risk as their own problems, and must take actions as their own task
with the technical advice from the professionals.
These practical tools (Seismic Diagnosis) aim to raise awareness
among the stakeholders, by a simple evaluation of the safety/vulnerability of houses
as an education tool.
As the purpose is to raise awareness but not to provide accurate
estimate, the programs of the tools may give rough results, omitting some minor
factors.
The “Practical Tools for Vulnerability and Safety Evaluation o f CHB
houses of the Philippines” are the following:
STEP1
- Practical tools 1: Let’s check your house.
The “score” indicating the safety/vulnerability of the house is
evaluated by homeowner by answering ten (10) questions concerning the shape of
the floor, wall openings, type of foundation, type of roof, age of the house,
etc. Thus, the homeowner is made to
understand which components of the house are important for determining its
safety/vulnerability.
STEP2
- Practical tools 2: Software to evaluate
safety/vulnerability of CHB houses
The focus of this practical tool is the CHB masonry structure, which
aims for homeowners, with the assistance of a civil engineer, to understand and
evaluate the safety/vulnerability of their house and help them acquire a relevant
knowledge for retrofitting the CHB masonry structure.
This tool, using a computer simulation program with a visual and
user-friendly interface, is still in its development stage. It is based upon field data, experimental
data and the NSCP 2010. To show the
reasons for the safety/vulnerability of the house, and how to improve its
safety against earthquakes, the program user will be made to input data about ground
conditions, foundation, floor plan, allocation of walls, roofing,
reinforcement, age, etc. The program
output includes the scoring of the house, the reasons for its safety/ vulnerability,
and advice to strengthen the house, if necessary.
This presentation is based upon the on-going study, “Development of
Practical Tools for the Vulnerability and Safety Evaluation of CHB houses of
the Philippines”

ASEP A.CONCEPT Lecture: Pushover Analysis of RC Buildings

Pushover Analysis of RC Buildings
When:
June 8, 2012
Time: 15:00-16:30
PM
Where:
La Breza Hotel , QC
Who: Resource Speaker – Ulpiano P. Ignacio, Jr., F.
ASEP
About the Lecture:
Pushover Analysis is an incremental nonlinear static analysis used
to determine the force-displacement relationship for a structure or structural
element. Conventional analysis procedures use linear elastic methods. However,
large earthquakes can cause large deformations causing inelastic and nonlinear
behavior. Therefore, the use of linear elastic methods, although greatly
simplifying the engineer’s work, may lead to erroneous conclusions. On the
other hand, using nonlinear dynamic analysis using time history loading,
considered as an “exact” procedure, may be very complicated and prohibitive in
terms of modeling and computer resources. Hence, a nonlinear static analysis,
also called pushover analysis, is a very good compromise for most applications.
This lecture intends to introduce the concept of pushover analysis applied to
building structures.
At the end of the presentation, the participants are expected to:
- know the concept of pushover analysis and its resulting pushover curve;
- know the overall procedure in performing a pushover analysis;
- know the uses of a pushover analysis, e.g. as a tool in the retrofit of existing buildings, development of fragility and vulnerability curves, and in conducting a Performance Based Seismic Design of structures.

Post-tensioning has been one of the most significant developments in the 20th Century. It has contributed greatly to the economical construction of bridges, through the use of innovative construction methods such as cantilever construction, incremental launching and in particular through precast segmental construction methods in bridges. In buildings, prestressed precast and in-situ post-tensioning are the preferred construction method in many countries for many types of building structures such as offices, shopping centres, convention centres, warehouses, car parks, hotels and resorts. Recent developments in national codes, construction material and emphasis on sustainable construction, have led to a significant departure in the way we design and construct prestressed concrete structures. In this paper, a state of the art prestressed concrete design and construction of buildings, bridges and special structures will be examined.
Keywords: State of the art, prestressed, concrete, design, construction, bridges, buildings.

ASEP Continuing Education Lecture: Establishing and Managing Your Structural Engineering Consultancy Firm
ASEP Continuing Education Summit 2012 invites you to a lecture on:
What: CEL-01: Part A - Establishing and Managing your Structural Engineering Consultancy Firm
When:
June 9, 2012
Time:
8:30-10:00 AM
Where:
La Breza Hotel , QC
Who:
Resource Speaker – Engr. Adam Abinales, M.Eng., P.P., F.ASEP
About the lecture:
Most
civil engineering graduates who have passed the board examination and most
practicing
civil
engineers are generally employed either locally or abroad. This is because the
general
training
and orientation of Filipino engineers is that they must finish and earn their
civil
engineering
degree to find a good paying job. This paper intends to provide an alternative
perspective
for the civil engineers to consider a complete paradigm shift to
entrepreneurship
while
at the same practicing their chosen field of profession and specialization.
At the end of the presentation, the participants are expected to be
able to:
- Understand the forms of business entity
- Know the government agencies where to register a business
- Know the procedures of registration with the BIR, understand bookkeeping requirements and tax activities such as tax mapping and tax forms
- Know the ins and outs of business permitting and licensing
- Know the information on the minimum basic consultancy fees
Keywords: entrepreneurship, civil engineering, professional
practice
