Overview of the National
Structural Code of the
Philippines (NSCP)
• Purpose:
⚬ Establishes minimum design and construction standards to
ensure safety, stability, and durability of structures.
• Scope:
⚬ Covers requirements for structural design, materials,
construction practices, and safety considerations.
• Versions:
⚬ NSCP 2015
Introduction to
Structural Design
Structural design involves the
process of creating structures that
safely resist loads and forces while
serving their intended function.

• Objectives:
⚬ Ensure safety and stability of
structures.
⚬ Optimize the use of
materials.
⚬ Achieve aesthetic and
functional goals.
Importance of Structural
Design

Safety Functionality Economic


Efficiency
Understanding Loads in
Structural Design
• Types of Loads:
⚬ Dead Loads: Permanent/static loads such as the weight of the
structure itself.
⚬ Live Loads: Variable loads such as occupancy and usage loads.
⚬ Environmental Loads: Includes wind, seismic, and snow loads.
• Load Combinations:
⚬ Design structures to withstand multiple load scenarios as defi ned by
the NSCP.
Key Structural Members
• Beams: Horizontal members that carry loads from columns and
transfer them to supports.
• Columns: Vertical members that support the loads from beams and
transfer them to foundations.
• Slabs: Flat members that provide fl oors and ceilings, distributing
loads to beams and columns.
• Trusses: Frameworks of triangular units that distribute loads
effi ciently.
• Connections: Joints and interfaces where structural members are
joined, including welds, bolts, and rivets.
• Braces: Diagonal members used to provide lateral stability.
Structural Steel Design
Concepts
• Introduction to Structural Steel:
⚬ Steel is widely used due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and
fl exibility.
• Material Properties:
⚬ Yield Strength, Ultimate Strength, Ductility, and Weldability
• Design Principles:
⚬ Strength Design: Ensures that structures can carry expected loads
safely.
⚬ Serviceability: Ensures that defl ections and vibrations are within
acceptable limits.
• Grades of Steel:
⚬ Diff erent grades (e.g., ASTM A36, A992) based on strength and
application.
Steel Members and
Connections
• Types of Steel Members:
⚬ I-Beams: Commonly used for their effi cient load-carrying capacity.
⚬ Channels, Angles, and Plates: Used for various structural elements.
• Connections:
⚬ Welded Connections: Permanent and strong joints.
⚬ Bolted Connections: Allow for easier assembly and disassembly.
Design
Methods
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
• Concept:
⚬ A method used in the NSCP to account for uncertainties in load estimates and
material strengths.
• Components:
⚬ Load Factors: Multipliers applied to load estimates to ensure safety.
⚬ Resistance Factors: Reductions applied to material strengths to account for
variability.

Limit State Design: Ensures that structures do not reach ultimate limits of strength
or serviceability.

Working Stress Design (WSD): Based on permissible stress limits and safety factors.
Design Considerations and Practices
• Types of Connections:
⚬ Bolted Connections: Simple and fl exible; widely used in steel
construction.
⚬ Welded Connections: Provide strong, permanent joints; used in high-
stress areas.

Practices and Considerations


• Safety Checks:
⚬ Ensure that all safety requirements are met per NSCP standards.
• Durability:
⚬ Consider factors like corrosion protection and environmental impact.
• Sustainability:
⚬ Optimize material usage and design for long-term performance.
Steel Design Provision
(Codes)
• Purpose: Set standards and guidelines to ensure safety,
consistency, and quality in structural design.

• Common Codes:
⚬ AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction): Provides
guidelines for steel design and construction.
⚬ Eurocode: European standards for structural design, including
steel structures.
⚬ IBC (International Building Code): Comprehensive code for
building safety and design.
⚬ American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards
⚬ Philippine National Standards (PNS)
