STRUCTURAL DESIGN REPORT (PERMIT LEVEL)
1. General Description
Proposed 2-storey reinforced concrete building. Floor height = 3.0m each level. Slab thickness =
100mm. Structural system consists of RC columns, beams, slabs, and isolated footings.
2. Design Codes
Design based on NSCP 2015 (Philippines), ACI 318 principles for reinforced concrete design.
3. Material Properties
Concrete strength f'c = 21 MPa Steel yield strength fy = 415 MPa Unit weight of concrete = 24
kN/m³
4. Loads
Dead Load (DL): 3.4 kN/m² Live Load (LL): 2.0 kN/m² Roof Load: 1.0 kN/m² Seismic Load: Zone 4
(assumed moderate seismic risk) Wind Load: Basic assumption for low-rise structure
5. Load Combinations
1.4 DL 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL 1.2 DL + 1.0 EQ + 1.0 LL 0.9 DL + 1.0 EQ
6. Slab Design
Thickness = 100mm Reinforcement: 10mm bars @ 200mm spacing both directions Check for
bending and deflection: OK for spans up to 3.5m
7. Beam Design
Typical beam size: 250mm x 350mm Main reinforcement: 3-4 pcs 16mm bars Stirrups: 10mm @
100-200mm spacing Maximum moment considered: ~60 kN·m
8. Column Design
Column size: 300mm x 300mm Reinforcement: 8-16mm vertical bars Ties: 10mm @ 100mm (ends)
and 200mm (mid) Axial load capacity exceeds applied loads
9. Footing Design
Isolated footing: 1.2m x 1.2m x 0.25m Soil bearing capacity: 150 kPa Reinforcement: 16mm bars
both directions Safe against bearing failure
10. Seismic Consideration
Structure assumed in seismic zone. Provide proper confinement in columns. Ensure beam-column
joint detailing. Ductile detailing required per NSCP.
11. Structural Stability
Structure checked for vertical loads and lateral loads. No excessive drift expected for low-rise
structure. System is stable.
12. Conclusion
Based on the analysis and assumptions, the structure is SAFE and ADEQUATE for construction,
subject to proper detailing and site supervision.
