Structural Design & Construction

"Future Engineer! Dito tatayo ang mga structures mo - from design to actual construction! Master both the theory and the practice."

CELE Challenge

Structural Design and Construction - from concept to completion!

PART A: STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

1. Types of Loads (NSCP)

Dead Load (D)

Permanent: Concrete 24 kN/m3, Steel 77 kN/m3

Live Load (L)

Residential 1.9 kPa, Office 2.4 kPa

Wind Load (W)

P = qz x G x Cp

Earthquake (E)

V = (ZICW)/R

2. Stress Formulas

Axial: sigma = P/A

Bending: sigma = My/I

Shear: tau = V/A

Torsion: tau = Tr/J

PART B: DESIGN

3. RC Design (USD)

  • Flexure: phi Mn >= Mu (phi = 0.90)
  • Shear: phi Vn >= Vu (phi = 0.75)
  • Beam: Mn = As fy (d - a/2)

PART C: CONSTRUCTION

4. Project Scheduling

CPM

ES, EF, LS, LF, Float = LS - ES

Critical Path: Float = 0

PERT

te = (a + 4m + b)/6

5. Earthwork

  • Average End Area: V = L(A1 + A2)/2
  • Prismoidal: V = L(A1 + 4Am + A2)/6

CELE Pro Tips

  • - Always check load combinations - use the critical one!
  • - CPM problems: Draw the network diagram first!
  • - Memorize phi factors for strength design
