to his experience how to handle such crisis. Managing a firm includes managing
technology and best of all the clients. The author develops within his
experience a new approach to better cope up with this on-going situation. A new
direction is proposed to expand the role of the a new designer – structural
artist as coined by David Billington as to the new development of modern
architecture, its role and position in the Philippine construction industry.

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.

ASEP Continuing Education Lecture: Effects of Unchartered Faults of the NSCP 2010
ASEP Continuing Education Summit 2012 invites you to a lecture on:
What: CEL-08,
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
ASEP Continuing Education Summit 2012 invites you to a lecture on:
What: CEL-06:
Geophysical Methods in Civil Engineering – Practical Applications
When:
June 9, 2012
Time: 13:30
– 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.
