Project Description

The project is based on the design of DPWH for a (6-CL) 3-storey DepEd school
building. The original design made use of a reinforced concrete frame and the
student is tasked to re-design the building as a steel structure.

For the first phase of the project, the student is expected to do the following:
1.) Estimate the loadings on the roof structure
2.) Determine the internal forces on the truss members
3.) Design the Truss Members as Tension and Compression Members
only

B. General Instructions

1.) All assumptions must be written down and stated clearly.

2.) The project will be done by pairs.
3.) Use A4 sized papers for your submission.
4.) Use the provisions of the NSCP 2015/ASCE 7 for the loads acting on the
structure. Cite the section or table in which the
parameter/loading/provision was taken from.
 5.) Limit the loadings to live, dead, earthquake and wind loads for your
structure. For the roof trusses, consider live, dead and wind loads only.
6.) The proposed building is to be built beside the Main Building of the
Institute of Civil Engineering, UP Diliman. Assume the soil type to be Soil
Type C.
7.) You may opt to analyze your structure in ETABS but all final steel design
of structural members will be done manually using the AISC LRFD Method
discussed in class.
8.) You may design your members using excel sheets but the excel sheets
should be understandable and the equations/provisions used should be
properly cited from whatever code used.

C. Format of Report
The format of the report will be based on the checklist of minimum structural
design documents provided by the Association of Structural Engineering of
the Philippines, Inc (ASEP).
