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”

the provisions related to EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT STRUCTURES.
The lecture is essentially a discussion of the salient provisions of
Section 421, with the following
objectives:
· To briefly discuss the basic DETAILS of REINFORCEMENT
required for structural integrity (Section 407 of the NSCP);
· To review and integrate the relevant provisions of
Section 421 of the NSCP which is sometimes referred to as Special Provisions of
Detailing for a Seismic-resistant design;
· To illustrate, through examples and practical
applications, the differences i requirements between basic detailing and
special seismic-detailing;
· To
bring to the awareness of design engineers, construction engineers, site inspectors, quality-assurance engineers,
structural detailers, and the like of the importance of these provisions and help enhance their ability to spot
probable deficiencies i n the details issued for construction so that
appropriate adjustments may be
carried out even before actual implementation.

ASEP A.CONCEPT Lecture: Pushover Analysis of RC Buildings
ASEP Summit 2012 invites you to an A.CONCEPT lecture on:
E-mail: jun613@gmail.com
What: LEC-03:
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.
