PROPOSED LAYOUT OF FACILITIES OR PROGRAM

B. DESIGN CONSIDERATION

C. PRELIMINARY DESIGN

D. DESIGN STANDARD AND CONSIDERATIONS

The load combination equations using Strength or Load Factor Design where
provided on NSCP 2015 Section 203. The proponents must nake sure that the structure is
capable of supporting loads resulting from the load combinations shwon below from
NSCP Section 203-3.1 and Section 203.5.

1.2 DL + 1.6 LL + 0.5 WL Equation 203-3

1.2 DL + f1LL + 1.0 Em Equation 203-19

DL- Dead Load

LL- Live Load

WL- Wind Load

Em- Earthquake Load (the maximum effect of horizontal and vertical forces)

f1- 1.0 for floor in places of public assembly, for live loads in excess of 4.8 kPa, and for
garage live load, or 0.5 for other live loads
