Late upload! โจ
Itโs been months since we successfully defended our capstone project, but I still just want to share this bahalag late. Better Late than never daw ana sila.
Maka proud japon nga nabuhat namo ni nga project kay as in big milestone kaayo ni para sa amoa. Dako kaayo ni nga project having a building footprint of 1500sqm.
Anyway mao nani siya ๐
So our undergraduate Civil Engineering Project is entitled:
"๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐-๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐๐, ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ."
This project was designed in strict compliance with the NSCP 2015, PD 1096, and Republic Act No. 12076 (Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act).
Per the mandates of RA 12076, the structure is engineered to be highly disaster-resilient, specifically designed to withstand typhoons with wind speeds of up to 300 kph and earthquakes of at least magnitude 8.0. To achieve this level of seismic safety, the magnitude 8.0 parameter was modeled in accordance with the NSCP 2015 Seismic Source Type A provisions, which cover major faults capable of generating large-magnitude events ranging from 7.0 to 8.4 M.
For structural analysis, we utilized ๐๐๐ป๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ - ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐๐บ ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ (๐ฅ๐ฆ๐) alongside STAAD.Pro, RCDC, and STAAD Foundation Advanced, advanced software tools provided by Bentley Academic.
We implemented Dynamic Analysis - RSA for seismic loads to capture the more realistic behavior of the structure under seismic events, allowing us to accurately simulate how the building dynamically responds to real-world seismic waves across multiple vibration modes.
In this project we spent months pouring our energy into data gathering, architectural planning, dynamic structural design, rigorous calculations, and technical writing to ensure the structural integrity of this CE Project.
Shoutout diay to my team TRES BUHOS for making this heavy lift possible๐ช

Also, a massive thank you to our adviser, Dr. Lawrence T. Orjalesa, for guiding us every step of the way!
As well as, to all the practicing engineers, mentors, and seniors who generously shared their knowledge, reviewed our work, and gave us invaluable design insights para lang mahuman ni among Capstone ๐
Above all, heartfelt gratitude to Him above, the God Almighty for everything. Imoha ni tanan, Lord! ๐
