Executive Summary
With this project, we were given the opportunity to help the institution of Rizal
Experimental Station and Pilot School of Cottage Industries and the Local government of
Pasig City. We designed a 3-storey school building that will provide classrooms and
school facility to the students and the faculty members as well. The design of the building
includes rainwater harvesting system which will collect rain water and will be reused for
external application like cleaning, irrigation to garden, flushing of toilets and as
sprinklers in case of fire. This project will bridge the gap between the classroom shortage
and the growing population of students as to improve the quality of education in the
Philippines.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The budget for education, as the constitution mandates, must have the highest
allocation of the government budget. However, this is not being followed as the
education sector has been one of the lowest allocations for education in the ASEAN
countries. As a matter of fact, the budget for this school year was cut short by the current
administration to solve the debt of the country. Thus, the education sector is now facing a
shortage of facility, particularly classrooms, to accommodate the growing population of
the country.
According the Aceron, J., Director of the Government Watch Program of the
Ateneo School of Government, the Department of Education reported that it faces a total
of 152, 569 shortage in classrooms this 2011, if the ideal classroom-student ratio of 1:45
in a single shift. From 2002-2009, the number of schools in the country that is
2
experiencing shortage has hardly changed and in some time, it increased like from 10,326
(23%) in 2006 up to 11,992 (27%) in 2010. On the other hand, 2 billion pesos was
allotted for the education budget for the year 2002-2005, 2007 2009 and 1.76 billion
pesos in 2006. The average number of project covered by this budget per year is 3,149
Regular School Building Program Project from 2002-2009. This had been insufficient to
address the shortage of classrooms during these years, which averages at 10,576 schools
per year. It would need about 91 billion peso budget allocation for school building project
in order to address the shortage of classrooms for 2011; However, the current budget of
10 billion pesos will only respond to 11% of the total need.
In line with these problems, the group aims to help address the problem of school
facility shortage by providing a school building to be used by the public school students
in secondary and tertiary level. The construction of this building will bring students an
access to basic education, further nurture their talents and pursue their dreams despite
their socio-economic status. This will also bring a step forward in bridging the gap
between the classroom demand and the growth of the population to improve the quality
of education in the Philippines.

This project addresses the problems faced by students and faculty members in
public schools. Public school is meant to be an affordable way for all children to get a
sufficient and useful education. But since it is free, the lack of funding results to the
dismal state of classrooms and facilities of public schools in the country. The shortage of
classrooms is the leading dilemma of these public schools. The average public high
school class has about sixty students, whereas the average private high school class has
about thirty students per classroom. It is much harder for students to get help and
individual attention when there are more students in a class. Public schools must also
provide safety and security for the students and a comfortable environment for their
extra- curricular activities.
The main objective of this project is to design a 3-storey school building that will
be used to provide additional classrooms for the secondary and tertiary level students of
the beneficiary institution, Rizal Experimental Station and Pilot School of Cottage
Industries (RESPSCI). This will include architectural and structural plans for the school
building and will be eco-friendly, as per the citys campaign, PASIG Green City.
Rainwater Harvesting will help in conserving water that will decrease the water
consumption in the building.
The design norms considered for this project consist of 3, namely Cost effective,
Minimalism and Eco-friendly.
The design should follow the minimalism concept. The term minimalism is used
to describe a trend in design and architecture where the subject is reduced to its necessary
elements. Space is very important in designing a classroom because this space will
determine the capacity of students that could occupy the building. Thus, designing with
minimalism concept will help provide ample space for the students.
4
Finally, the design should be eco-friendly. In a world where global warming and
climate change threatens very own existence, (we should find) alternative and eco-
friendly approach should be used so as not to contribute more to the effect. Also, the city
of Pasig is committed to be a green city in the next few year, thus, it is necessary to
design this building environment- friendly.
The proposed 3-storey school building will benefit the Local Government of
Pasig city. With this project, the country is one step forward in solving the classroom
shortage of the education sector. Another beneficiary will be the administration of Rizal
Experimental Station and Pilot School of Cottage Industries (RESPSCI). This project will
help the institution to deliver a better quality of education to its students.
This project will be utilizing technology and software to help produce better
designs and save time. The following are the tools that we are going to use:
AutoCAD
This software will help in making plans, detailed drawings, layouts for
architectural and structural drawings of this project.
Etabs
This software will help in the analysis and design of structural elements
like frames, slabs and beams. This can also check the adequacy and stability of
the structure.
5
Microsoft Office
This software will help in compiling everything for the final proposal and
defense of this project. Microsoft Word will be used to compile and prepare the
proposal for this project, Microsoft PowerPoint will be utilized in preparing
presentations for the defense and Microsoft Excel will be used as a computer for
structural element design.
Substructure
The design of the substructure will depend on the strength or soil bearing
capacity of the site. Included here is the conduct of soil investigation of the site.

- Design of Beams
- Design of Columns
- Design of Slabs
- Design of Roof Truss

CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION REPORT
The dismal state of the public schools in the Philippines is definitely alarming.
Going to school is an appropriate preparation for future endeavors, whatever they may
be. It is the goal of the project to provide a public school that will be composed of
secondary and tertiary level and to provide a basic education for students. The sole
purpose of the project is to give education to students and give everyone equal
opportunity as a means to succeed in life. It will also be an aim of the project to be a high
quality school so it can be a positive environment for young learners to develop their
social skills and personality. And, what better way to educate people about conserving
and recycling water than by starting it while they are still young. It is also a purpose of
the project to make students realize the importance of water in the community and how it
can be re-used and recycled.
The project will be located at Jennys Ave. Barangay Maybunga, Pasig City. The
site is located within the vicinity of Rizal Experimental Station and Pilot School of
Cottage Industries (RESPSCI). Due to an electrical faulty wiring, the 2-storey building of
the institution that contains 6 high school classrooms was burned down a few years ago.
The administration was forced to abandon the building because of the threat to the safety
of the students. The group proposed the location to further help the institution in their
mission to educate and help students to attain a good quality education by providing
additional classrooms. The total land area of RESPSCI is about 2 hectares.

Some of the public schools in the Philippines have now instituted a shifting policy
so that there are day and afternoon classes per classroom to address the lack of
classrooms. There can be up to 60 to 70 students in a class. This is one of the cases that
the project is going to avoid. The construction of this three-storey school building will
provide a proper and orderly accommodation for the student. This will include
classrooms which will have a design that can contain a great number of students. And,
since it is a three-storey school building, the safety of the student will be the main
concern in constructing the plan for the structure.
Also, due to the lack of fund of the government, and raw water consumption is
costly, a number of public schools in the country do not have running water, which is
commonly use in laboratories and other activities. The project will introduce a Rainwater
Harvesting System to provide recycled water, though it is not potable, it will be used on
non-human contact purposes. The Rainwater Harvesting System works by collecting
water from rain. It treats the water for reuse, general cleaning, and toilet flushing.

The school building will be used by the students in relation to the school activities
to be done. They will be supervised by their respective subject teachers all through-out
the school hours. The curriculum and lesson plans will be in accordance to the standards
set by the Department of Education (DepEd) and the School Principal will be the one
who will supervise the implementation of these standards. The Solid Waste will be
collected daily under the supervision of the Maintenance Department as well as the
operation of the Rainwater Harvesting System. The treated water from the facility is for
external use only and not meant to be drunk. .
Since the structure will be used to serve the public, safety must be ensured at all
times. Thus, certain conditions were set in determining whether the structure must be
abandoned or not.
a) When the damages in structural elements had been accumulated as a result of the
number of years it has been used and the damages from the disasters it had
resisted in its service life.
Once the building is to be abandoned, the abandonment phase will begin with the
following:
The location of the project will be at Jennys Avenue Ext, Barangay Maybunga,
Pasig City. Maybunga is one of the barangays in District 2 of Pasig City with 177.37 ha
of land area. Buildings that can be found at the site are schools houses and town center
and restaurants are just near the barangay.
There was still an abandoned building in the lot location. This study will assume
that the building has been demolished by the government and the administration of
RESPSCI. The area was along Minor road, with residential buildings alongside the
abandoned building. Also, around the area, there are a lot of vacant lots found. A creek
can also be found within the vicinity of the place. Considering the installation of water
pipes and drainage system, it will not be so much of a difficulty since there are already
pipelines fixed in the lot. As for the air, since there are a lot of factories and warehouses
in Pasig city, the problem of air pollution cannot be avoided.
Pasig is primarily residential and industrial but has been becoming increasingly
commercial in recent years. The structures that can be found in the city are factories,
warehouses, establishments and commercial. There are still plants and trees that can be
found in the city. The common plants that can be seen in the site are Ampalaya, Atis,
Bayabas, and Banana. In the streets and other houses in Pasig, many animals can also be
found like, dogs, cats, frogs, rats. For the water environment, the most popular bodies of
water that can be found in Pasig is the Pasig River. The Pasig River connects the Laguna
de Bay and Manila bay. Its major tributaries are San Juan River and Marikina River. The
most common living organism that can be found in Pasig River are janitor fish since it is
polluted nowadays. The air quality in Pasig can be considered polluted because of the
major factories build in the city.
Pasig City is one of the municipalities of Metro Manila and was once the capital
of the province of Rizal. The current population of the city is 617,301. The people living
in the city are Tagalog and most of the locals are Roman Catholic.
13
If the proposed project was not constructed, the location is, as of now, has an
abandoned structure built in it. There are still plans of demolition of the building since it
is government owned but the government still does not have specific plans to construct
another building in it. There are maintenance crew around the vicinity to provide
protection and safeguarding of the building.

2.3.2 Brief Discussion of Specific Significant Impacts on the Physical and Biological
Resources
Noise doesnt have much effect on the physical and biological aspect
because the noise that it will produce will be minimal knowing that the students
who will benefit in the project are students and this noise is still manageable.
16
The proposed project will have no effect on the vicinity because the project
will not generate any air pollution that will affect the air quality of the area but
since the location is near the main road, theres a chance of air quality impact
because of the too many vehicles passing on the road at any time of the day.

For the Mitigation and Enhancement Measures, the researches made use of the
usual measures that are used in constructions. They integrated the impacts with the
mitigation measures. First, it has climate and air quality. The air quality is a very
important factor since not only the people inside the premises will be affected but also
others who are near to the site. Possible impact are increased in noise levels and
vibrations because in construction, exaction is needed that produces noise and vibrations
that will affect the near premises. Second is the traffic problem. During the construction
in the vicinity of the project site road in the front and at the back will be affected and will
cause traffic. They providing signage and notice will help; control the traffic to
overcrowd the area. Third is solid waste problems, this problem is very common in every
construction because it produces pollution. In order to control this problem regular bag
collection is important. Fourth are the ecological issues. The health of the laborers and of
the people in the area must be secured and make sure that the construction is not emitting
anything that may harm anyone. Lastly, socio-economic issues pertain to the business
opportunities.
In the process of construction we will assign a person to make sure that each and
every mitigation and enhancement measures that we have will then be followed. The
monitoring must be strictly followed to ensure safety.
If the proposed project was not constructed, the location is, as of now, has an
abandoned structure built in it. There are still plans of demolition of the building since it
is government owned but the government still does not have specific plans whether to
construct another building in it. There are maintenance crew around the vicinity to
provide the protection and safe guarding of the building.
The purpose of the project is to design a school building for elementary and
secondary level students. The design of the project will be based on the NSCP (National
Structural Code of the Philippines). The project will also follow and comply with the
requirements needed by the local government of Area. It also needs to meet the terms of
the Department of Education concerning the rules and regulations in designing a school
building. Regarding the environmental concern, the project will follow the Republic Act
No. 6541, an act to ordain and institute a National Building Code of the Philippines. This
act is also known as the National Building Code of the Philippines. The purpose of this
code is to provide for all buildings a framework of minimum standards and requirements
by guiding, regulating and controlling their location siting, design, quality of materials,
and maintenance. The code also states to safeguard life, health property, and public
welfare, consistent with the principles of environmental manageme nt and control.

CHAPTER 3
THE RESEARCH COMPONENT
3.1 Abstract
The shortage of classrooms is one of the leading dilemmas in public school here
in the Philippines. The lack of budget allocated for education was the main reason the
problem was occurring. This article is based on the Design of Three Storey Public School
Building with Rainwater Harvesting System in Maybunga, Pasig City. The proposed
extension building was designed to be economical for the government to satisfy the
funding. The three storey structure will, in addition, offer additional classrooms for Rizal
Experimental Station and Pilot School of Cottage Industries (RESPSCI). A Rainwater
Harvesting System was incorporated with the building for secondary external use of
water that will also help reduce the monthly water consumption. The system works by
collecting rainwater through a storage tank.
3.2 Introduction
For years, the Philippine government has been struggling with the ways to
manage effectively waste water issues and the increasing rate of water-borne diseases in
urban communities. In 2004, the Philippine Clean Water Act was enacted, mandating all
local government units to share the responsibility in the management and improvement of
water quality within their territorial jurisdiction. This was a way to pressure the local
government to address waste water issues that were the main cause of much
environmental damage. Over 90 percent of all sewage generated in the Philippines is not
treated and has been disposed directly to the bodies of water. Water-borne diseases
accounted for nearly 31% of all reported illness from 1996-200 and economic-losses
from these diseases alone exceed up to 2.3 billion peso a year. (United Nations Economic
and Socia Commission for Asia and the Pacific)
buildings and other structures. In particular, malls and hospitals are those required to
maintain and operate their own sewage treatment plants.
In 2006, The Pasig City local government has started its Pasig Green City
campaign to be the pioneer Green City in the country. This program aims to promote the
development or urban forest and to improve city environment as well as to attain the
desired 1:4 person to tree ratio to develop Pasig City to an environmental friendly city.
According to Mayor Bobby Eusebio, The Pasig Green City is the firm embodiment to
prove that sustainable development is achievable if the same amount of energy can be
devoted in pursuing progress as well as in caring for the environment. Much have
achieved in the past years, there is much to be done with the twin issues of global
warming and climate change and their effects becoming more apparent and cannot afford
to be complacent with what have been achieved. Since its inception in 2006, the Green
City Program of Pasig City has surpassed its target of planting 20,000 trees by 2010 and
has reduced its solid waste by 29% through the implementation of waste segregation and
recycling programs. (Pasig City Government, 2010)
The shortage of water supply also is a big problem in the Philippines. From
February to July of 2010, thirsty El Nio drank up most of Angat Dam's water supply.
According to reports, a hundred municipalities from Paranaque to Cavite
underwent water rationing in 2010. Malabon and Navotas residents had parched lips for
an estimated 12 to 14 hours at the time. In the last part of July and in early November
2010, Maynilad cut water services in Malabon. The supply stoppage lasted for close to 24
hours, due to an interconnection of the 300-meter pipeline along Tanza Bridge. As early
as October 2010, the water level at Angat Dam was again low, and the residents of
Mindanao experienced power outages because their hydroelectric power plants were
unable to get water from Lake Lanao. (Cruz, J., 2011)
With this, the school building with rainwater harvesting system will address the
problems in water management to prevent the increase of water-borne diseases and to
conserve water. The building will also take part in the Pasig Green City campaign and
build an environmental- friendly structure.
catchment area, the collection device, and the conveyance system. The history of
rainwater harvesting in Asia can be traced back to about the 9th or 10th Century and the
small-scale collection of rainwater from roofs and simple brush dam constructions in the
rural areas of South and South-east Asia. Rainwater collection from the eaves of roofs or
via simple gutters into traditional jars and pots has been traced back almost 2 000 years in
Thailand (Prempridi and Chatuthasry, 1982).
from properly maintained rooftop catchment systems, equipped with storage tanks having
good covers and taps, is generally suitable for drinking, and frequently meets the WHO
drinking water standards. Rooftop catchment, rainwater storage tanks can provide good
quality water, clean enough for drinking, as long as the rooftop is clean, impervious, and
made from non-toxic materials (lead paints and asbestos roofing materials should be
avoided), and located away from over-hanging trees since birds and animals in the trees
may defecate on the roof.(The Global Development Research Center)
Rainwater harvesting technologies are simple to install and operate. Local people
can be easily trained to implement such technologies, and construction materials are also
readily available. Rainwater harvesting is convenient in the sense that it provides water at
the point of consumption, and family members have full control of their own systems,
which greatly reduces operation and maintenance problems. Running costs, also, are
almost negligible. Water collected from roof catchments usually is of acceptable quality
for domestic purposes. As it is collected using existing structures not specially
constructed for the purpose, rainwater harvesting has few negative environmental impacts
compared to other water supply project technologies. Although regional or other local
factors can modify the local climatic conditions, rainwater can be a continuous source of
water supply for both the rural and poor. Disadvantages of rainwater harvesting
technologies are mainly due to the limited supply and uncertainty of rainfall. Adoption of
this technology requires a *bottom up* approach rather than the more usual *top down*
approach employed in other water resources development projects. This may make
rainwater harvesting less attractive to some governmental agencies tasked with providing
23
water supplies in developing countries, but the mobilization of local government and
NGO resources can serve the same basic role in the development of rainwater-based
schemes as water resources development agencies in the larger, more traditional public
water supply schemes.(The Global Development Research Center)
Water is a scarce resource in the tropics. It is a fact that the Philippines has a
clearly defined rainy or wet season in which there is much precipitation in the form of
rain. Since there is no efficient water management system, this rainwater is typically
wasted by its flowing into the underground sewers (and maybe even flooding) while
during summer there is a shortage of water. An environment-friendly system that would
be beneficial in the Philippines is the rainwater harvesting system. Such a system has the
objective of collecting and storing rainwater for domestic uses at a later time. This is
particularly useful in lowering water bills during the times of water shortage. It also
lowers the volume of rainwater that passes through sewage systems, while also reaping
the environmental advantages of efficient water use.
3.4 Methodology
To be able to attain the project objectives, the group will start by collecting data
for rain fall and the soil bearing capacity of the site. This can be done by gathering
secondary information from the existing data from PAGASA and the City Engineers
office of Pasig City. After this, Plans will be done including Architectural e.g. Floor
Plans, Elevation, Perspective and Structural Plan. Also, the researchers will design the
roof for the catchment system and the storage tanks for the rain water harvesting system.
After the design process, the estimation of cost will be conducted to know how much the
project will cost.

End
In the Philippines, there is so much rain that every year there are also flooded
cities and towns .While water is admittedly a scarce resource in the tropics, it is a fact
that the Philippines has a clearly defined rainy or wet season in which there is much
precipitation in the form of rain. This rainwater is typically wasted by its flowing into
underground sewers (and maybe even flooding) while during the summer months there is
a shortage of water.
A green building system that would be very useful in the Philippines would be the
rainwater harvesting system. Such a system has the objective of collecting and storing
rainwater for domestic uses at a later time. This is useful in lowering water bills during
the times of water shortage. It also lowers the volume of rainwater that passes through
sewage systems, while also reaping the environmental benefits of efficient water use.
Setting up system
The very first step would be to determine the intended uses of the saved water.
Typically a rainwater harvesting system can be used for watering plants, flushing toilets
and sprinklers in case of fire emergency. It is also already possible to use rainwater for
drinking, though this will need high cost facilities for water treatment. Different uses for
the water will require different processes and equipment.
Rainwater collection
There are definitely many ways in which rainwater can be collected. The simplest
form would be to leave a drum or tank open during the rainy season for gardening uses.
Other more sophisticated methods would include a coordinated network of gutters and
drainpipes that lead the rainwater collected from roof surfaces into a central catch basin.
Rainwater storage
Rainwater distribution
Depending on the uses the rainwater is supposed to fill, the distribution network
will definitely have to be separate from the regular water pipes. Ground-level water needs
may need very little pressure for the water to get around, while higher-floor needs (such
26
as second-story toilets) will have to utilize a pump. Other rainwater distribution methods
would include sprinkler systems that are strategically located to maximize ground area
covered while minimizing water expended and direct pipelines to laundry areas (for
washing clothes) or even to the garage (for washing vehicles).
3.6 Conclusion
The rainwater harvesting system will be advantageous to the structure and its
surroundings as it will immediately control the flooding in the area. It is important these
days to generate such solutions for the continuous rainfalls here in the Philippines. By
utilizing the rainwater, a sustainable system is created which will run without producing
additional pollution in the environment. The harvesting system will also conserve water
that will result to the decrease of the schools monthly water consumption.
Based on the groups cost estimation, the rainwater harvesting system installed in
the building will help conserve 8.23% of the total schools water consumption yearly
provided that there are six 2-storey and one 1-storey building adding to the total cost of
the water bill. Even the relatively small changes in the amount of water that the school
uses can have a major impact in the long run.

According to the geotechnical report obtained, the building site is covered with
1.50 meters of fill consisting of clayey gravel with sand. Underlying the fill are very soft
to hard silty clay and medium to dense silty sand. Adobe was located 26.5 meters deep
and extending up to 30 meters. The ground water was at 0.85 meters deep.
The natural soils underlying the site investigated are relatively week and cannot
support the structure to be constructed. The estimated allowable soil bearing capacity is
only 30 kPa (650 psf). Since the soil bearing capacity is very low and is not allowed by
the code, it will just be assumed that the soil bearing capacity of the site is 60 kPa (1300
psf) to design the foundation.

Figure 22 :
4.4. Rainwater Harvesting System
In order to effectively design the storage tank of the rainwater harvesting system,
the annual amount of rainfall to be collected must be computed first. The catchment area,
average annual rainfall of the site and the run-off coefficient are the factors to be
considered before we can determine the annual amount of rainfall. Average annual
rainfall data were acquired in the office of Hydro meteorological Data Applications
Section (HMDAS), Hydrometeorology Division (HMD) of PAGASA. The computed
volume of water that can be harvested in a year is 141.418 cubic meters. The tank
capacity and the volume of water required for the dry season can now be computed.
A stainless steel tank was selected to be used as the storage tank of rainwater. The
tank has a capacity of approximately 5300 liters or 1390 gallons. It has a diameter of 170
cm and total height of 287 cm. The 2 tank cost over 200,000 pesos which is about 95
percent of the cost of the rainwater harvesting system. Although its quite expensive, the
technology will later on help you save more in terms of water consumption on rainy days,
The system will act as a secondary source of water to primarily used to flash toilets but
not to drinking.
Also, the group has prepared the layout of the pipes from the collection stage up
to the storage/distribution. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes with diameters 40 and 50
millimeter were used
The material costs used in the budget estimation of the public school building
were consulted from different hardware in Metro Manila. And, it is assumed in this study
that 30% of the material unit cost is for labor.
Based from the information gathered, the cost for constructing a single classroom
of standard size is roughly 1.3 million pesos. Thus, for a project of eleven (11)
classrooms, it would need a budget of 14.3 million pesos. Comparing this with the total
cost of the proposed 3 storey building with eleven (11) classrooms, it would only take
almost eight and a half (8.5) million pesos. This is mainly because the proposed building
was designed to be economical without sacrificing the quality and serviceability of the
structure. Roughly 37% from the original cost can be saved by this proposed school
building compared to the conventional one.

The initial cost of the rainwater harvesting system is about seventy (70) thousand
pesos. According to RESPSCI, the school pays Php 70,000 for its monthly water
consumption. With this system, the school can save up to 8.23% every year of their water
consumption.
Based from the scheduled generated by the software MS Project 2007, the over-
all estimated duration of the proposed three- storey public school building in Maybunga,
Pasig City is 346 working days. It can be seen in the schedule that majority of the
estimated working days is for civil and structural works which includes foundation
works, rebar laying and concrete pouring of structural members from ground to third
floor, masonry works for the walls and installation of roofing materials. The following
chart shows the detailed estimated duration of each work classification for the project.

CHAPTER 7
PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
Some snapshots of the walkthrough generated using this software is shown below.
After the completion of the design of the three-storey school building with
rainwater harvesting system, the group achieved the primary objective of the thesis
project. The group believes that this thesis project will provide additional classrooms for
the secondary and tertiary students of Rizal Experimental Station and Pilot School of
Cottage Industries. The design of the building was also in accordance with the citys
campaign, Pasig Green City. The group consulted the local government of Pasig to be
familiar with the design considerations of the structures built in the city. The rainwater
harvesting system installed in the building will immediately control the flooding in the
area. It is important these days to generate such solutions for the continuous rainfalls here
in the Philippines. The harvesting system will also conserve water that will result to the
decrease of the schools monthly water consumption. Based on the groups cost
estimation, the rainwater harvesting system installed in the building will help conserve
8.23% of the total schools water consumption yearly provided that there are six 2-storey
and one 1-storey building adding to the total cost of the water bill. Even the relatively
small changes in the amount of water that the school uses can have a major impact in the
long run.
The group believes that the planned set created for the school building in Rizal
Experimental Station and Pilot School of Cottage Industries embodies the design norms
that it set out to fulfill in its project. The architectural design of the building was based
with the design of the current buildings erected in RESPCI. The structural design of the
building represents the importance of keeping the students safe. Emphasis is placed not
only on designing a building that was safe, but also keep the building occupants safe.
This necessitated over-designing some of the building components to ensure that the
masonry walls did not crack which often happens in buildings that are still structurally
sound, but it may still give the occupants the impression that the building is not as safe as
it should be.
The group believes that the floor plans, 3-D walkthrough, construction plan set,
and the calculations supporting the structural design represent a very effective way to
meet the needs of in RESPCI and to incorporate the design norms that were an important
part of our project.
CHAPTER 9
RECOMMENDATION
The next study must first consider the schools overall persona. Since the
researchers are engineering students, they focused more on the design of the building;
they did not have enough time to center on other issue. Thus, the next researchers should
decide on how they want the school to be viewed by the community, and consider the
ultimate educational goals of the school and the types and ages of students who will be
educated in the facility.
The three-storey school building in Maybunga, Pasig city is a large project which
also needed a great amount of budget. Although the group have designed the most
economical materials for the construction of the building, it is much better if the total cost
of the project will be trimmed down. It will also best for those who will continue
designing the project to monitor the cost estimation of the project. The unit cost of the
materials may increase or decrease as time change. According to the National Statistics
Office (NSO), the annual growth in the wholesale prices of selected construction
materials in the National Capital Region (NCR) based on the Construction Materials
Wholesale Price Index (CMWPI) rise to 2.9% in August 2012 from 2.2% in July 2012.
The annual increment in cement index rise to 3.5% in August from 0.9% in July; lumber
index, 4.3% from 3.9%; G.I. Sheet index, 2% from 1.9% and structural steel index, 4.6%
from 4.2% (Reference: www.census.gov.ph/data/sectordata/cmwp1208tx.html).
The group would like to extend their whole-hearted gratitude and appreciation to
the following personages and establishments whose never- ending assistance, support,
and efforts helped for the accomplishment and success of this project proposal.
First, to our dear and ever understanding parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abanador, Mr.
and Mrs. San Pedro, and Mr. and Mrs. Regorosa, we extend our deepest appreciation for
their financial and moral support that helped the development of our thesis project. Also,
we would like to thank them for understanding us when we stayed late all night working
and for encouraging us during the darkest days of our lives.
Second, to our very industrious and patient Thesis Adviser, Engr. Divina
Gonzales, whose support and trust kept us to get going to what we have started. In times
of hopelessness, her words of encouragement let us set aside our doubts and uncertainties
regarding the feasibility of our thesis proposal. We thank her for staying with us and
guiding us throughout the term.
Third, to Engr. Fibor Tan and Dr. Francis Aldrine Uy, our CE200L professors, we
thank them for their assistance and guidance, especially, during the formulation of our
thesis problem and title. For the constructive criticisms they gave us before the oral
defense. It was very helpful and made us to see the big picture.
Fourth, to the employees of the Department of Education - Division of Pasig City,
for the over whelming reception they gave us during the time when we were looking for a
potential site to be our project location for our proposal. They became an instrument for
us to complete this thesis proposal.
To the institution of Rizal Experimental Station and Pilot School of Cottage
Industries (RESPSCI) for cooperating with us and allowing their school vicinity to be
used as our potential site for the design of this proposal. As a sign of our gratitude, we
hope to that this proposal will give them ideas for their future projects in providing good
quality education for your students.
And lastly, we really thank the Heavenly Father for keeping us in His safe arms
and guiding us throughout the duration of this study. Without His presence, it would be
next to impossible for us to finish and complete this thesis proposal. For the past three
months, He was the one who kept us safe from harm whenever we proceed to different
institutions to ask for help and answers to our inquiries.

Based on the soil investigation report, the natural soils underlying the site are
relatively weak. The estimated allowable soil bearing capacity is only 30 kPa or
650 psf. Since the allowable soil bearing capacity is very low, we can utilize mat
foundation to distribute the loads carried by the columns in a bigger area of
footing which will decrease the bearing pressure between the footing and the
soil. Assume 60 kPa soil bearing capacity since the soil bearing from the
investigation is not allowed by the code.
