Appendix D: Earthquake Load

Design Considerations
*Based on actual Geotechnical Investigation Report provided by TERMS Concrete &
Materials Testing Laboratory.
Occupancy category = IV (Standard Occupancy); Importance factor, I = 1
Seismic zone = 4; Seismic zone factor, Z = 0.4
Distance to seismic zone = 6 km
Seismic source type = A (active and capable of producing magnitude 7.0)
Near source factor: Na = 1.2, Nv = 1.6

Soil profile type = SD (very dense soil and soft rock)

Seismic coefficient: Ca = 0.528Na; Cv = 1.024Nv
Ct = 0.0731 (for concrete)
Overstrength factor, R = 8.5 (special RC moment frames, NSCP 2010 table 208-11A)
Valley Fault System
Appendix D: Wind Load
Design Considerations
*The design shall conform to Section 207 WIND LOADS of NSCP 2010
Laguna Area (zone 2)
Basic wind speed, V = 200kph
Occupancy category = IV (Standard Occupancy); Importance factor, Iw = 1
Surface roughness = C (207.5.6.2 Surface Roughness Categories, NSCP 2010)
Exposure category = C (207.5.6.3 Surface Roughness Categories, NSCP 2010)
Appendix E: Load Combinations
U = 1.4D
U = 1.2D + 1.6L
U = 1.2D + 1.0L 1.0E
U = 0.9D 1.0E
U = 1.2D + 1.6W +1.0L
Where:
D = dead load
L = live load
E = earthquake load
W = wind load
Appendix E: Foundation Scheme
A. Settlement. The site has no issue on settlement.
B. Liquefaction.
o High water table and low SPT blowcount at the upper layers.
o The site may have an issue on liquefaction
C. Shallow foundation
