 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

A sign of a growing economy in a certain place is a perfect distribution of learnings

that may help lessen poverty in the society. One of the solution is to educate engineers

who understand the science of their solutions, the people, issues and systems they hope

to affect. Since the emergence of modern engineering, engineers create, innovate and

upgrade techniques/ technologies because it requires endless effort to answer the needs

of people. But how will an institution produce great engineers if there is a limitation

regarding facilities that affects their learning process in a negative way?

Educational problems in the Philippines have gone through many changes and

developments for the past few years. As the population increases, the enrollees every

semester also increases. The changes have given both advantages and disadvantages,

the latter causing the downfall of many people.

The Southern Bicol College has come up solution to these problems by building a

new facility for their engineering college. It will accommodate the increasing number of

students by providing more classrooms with new equipment's while providing comfort.

With a cutting edge facility, a new breed of engineers will rise equipped with new

knowledge.

Beginning Of Southern Bicol College

 Envisioned as a school of higher learning specializing in medical-related courses

by its founder, civic leader and businessman turned educator, Manuel M. Bacunawa Jr..

The Southern Bicol College was granted government permit to operate in May 1993. Its

building was the rushed to completion (at least up to the third floor) to open its doors to

the pioneering students of Nursing and Midwifery. The College was opened answer to the

demands of parents who can ill-afford College education for their children outside

Masbate. The Board of Trustees composed of Civic and Religious leaders recommended

strongly the opening of such institution.

Initially, the school offered only two courses: Bachelor of Science in Nursing and

a two-year certificate in Midwifery when it formally opened during the school year 1993-

1994. The College started with 103 students, 24 of whom, were Nursing students and 79

were Midwifery students. The following year, a two-year Certificate in Sanitary Inspector

course was offered.

Barely on its second year of operation, however, on August 12 of 1994 to be exact,

the school lost its founder, Bacunawa Jr. seeing at least the dawn of his dream come

true. His demise temporarily stopped the construction of the fourth floor of the college

building. Undaunted by her husband’s demise, Madam Luz Cleta Reyes Bacunawa, then

Congresswoman of the second Congressional District of Masbate, resolved to realize her

husband’s lifetime dream of providing Masbateños with an institution of higher learning

that is affordable ,credible, and relevant to the human resource needs of the province.

Mrs. Bacunawa, the support of the members of the Board of Trustees, pursued the

realization of the vision and mission of the school. Under her leadership, other courses

were offered, which are all government-recognized namely: AB Major in Psychology,

BEED major in Pre-school Education, Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, and

Civil and Mechanical Engineering courses. It also opened the College of Law.

All facilities are provided for the enrichment of instruction. A building (with a

barangay setting) for barangay health services and another building simulating a mini

hospital and providing facilities and medical equipment therein were provided to students

for practical hands-on clinical experience.

To promote fitness and sportsmanship, the college provided athletic facilities and

equipment. On its 22nd year of operation, observed every 14th day of October, enrolment

has grown humbly and the school still enjoys the prestige and patronage of those who

still believe in quality education, quality instruction and the school's’ commitment to

producing quality graduates for global competitiveness.

Vision

Southern Bicol Colleges, an institution of higher learning manned by civic-spirited

individuals, competent and committed professionals imbued with the love of God and

fellowmen offering courses that would provide professions relevant to the human

resource needs of the province of Masbate and the greater society, turning out globally

competitive and effective graduates who will be partners of the government in the task of

building a just, human and humane society.

Mission

Relying on the aid and providence of God Almighty, SBC, commits and dedicates

itself to providing the Province with quality, affordable education, relevant courses and

quality graduates that shall meet the human resource needs of the province and
elsewhere and thus contribute to the development and progress of Masbate in particular

and the greater society in general.

Statement of the Problem

The study aims to determine the viability of the proposed project.

Specifically the researchers sought to answer these following questions:

1. Is the proposed building enough to accommodate the future employees?

2. What will be the design of this project?

3. What will be the total cost of this project?

4. What are the benefits of this project to the school?

Objective of the Study

The main objective of this project proposal is to establish new building to

accommodate the employees that will contribute to the community by providing a quality

office. This project will conform to the standards and specifications on building

construction.

The Municipal Engineer decided to propose the building to accommodate the

increasing number of employees.

Scope and Delimitation

The study is limited only to the building plans, formulation of the design concept of

four-storey building including cost estimate and bill of materials and its function and

improvement in SBC.
Significant of the Study

The Southern Bicol College as well as the community will benefit in this project

since the number of enrollees every year increases and the number of classrooms are

limited. This will provide the students better and safer learning facilities. Also, the faculties

will benefit in a sense that they will not handle a discussion under a tree or in an

inappropriate places.

Theoretical Framework

Engineers and Architects are the one’s solely responsible for planning in building

infrastructures. Infrastructures are the basic physical and organizational structures and

facilities (e.g., buildings, roads, and power supplies) needed for the operation of a society

or enterprise. Increasing numbers of engineering students creates scarcity of classrooms,

limited classrooms means less quality of education. And by this situation, it is merely

impossible to create outstanding engineers. Constructing additional building for

engineering students is proposed to solve this situation.1

The study used the idea on how the building is done based on the National

Structure Code of the Philippines (2010).

Specifically, designing building follows a set of steps before arriving in a

conclusion. By knowing the problem (limitation of buildings for increasing engineering

students), proposing the solution (additional building), and then the outcome.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter includes the ideas, study, literature, generalizations and conclusions,

methodologies and others. Those that were included in this chapter helps in familiarizing

information that are relevant and similar to the present study.

Related Literature

The goal for educational facilities like buildings, is to enhance learning and deliver

savings through energy efficiency and lower life-cycle costs.

The high-performance school is designed to help students and teachers perform

at their highest level by providing a learning environment that is healthy, safe,

comfortable, environmentally sound, and cost-effective to build, operate and maintain.

A healthy, safe learning environment provides good indoor air quality (IAQ) to

protect the health of children, teachers and staff and to reduce absenteeism Facility

executives can help address IAQ concerns with increased mechanical ventilation rates

and use of operable windows.

Thermal comfort is essential for students and teachers to concentrate. Yet many

schools are operating with outdated, inefficient mechanical systems, which have been

further compromised over decades by deferred maintenance and piecemeal facility

renovations.
 Environmental sensitivity to the site preserves natural habitats and recreational

open space. This approach contrasts with the approach at many older, sprawling K-12

school campuses. Likewise, development is condensed to reduce the total impervious

cover created on the site. Non-structural treatment methods, such as bios wales, are used

to manage storm-water runoff.

Sustainable design also takes advantage of the many durable, nontoxic building

materials available. Today’s products contain a significant amount of recycled content,

including steel, concrete and gypsum board. Similarly, using certified wood products

produced from forests managed on a renewable 10-year harvest cycle, as well as the use

of local and regional materials, helps preserve natural areas and slow resource

depletion.13

Under every building is a foundation, and under most foundations are footings.

Most of the time we take footings for granted, and usually we can: For typical soils, a

common 16- or 20-inch-wide footing can more than handle the relatively light weight of

an ordinary house.

On the other hand, if you build on soft clay soil or if there's a soft zone under part

of your foundation, there can be trouble. A footing that performs well in good soil may not

do so well in weak bearing conditions. We don't often see outright failure, but it's not

uncommon to see excessive settlement when soil bearing capacity is low.

13
http://www.facilitiesnet.com/green/article/Schools-Seek-Formula-for-High-Performance-Facilities-
Management-Green-Feature--3280
 As the load under a footing spreads out, pressure on the soil diminishes. Soil

directly under the footing takes the greatest load, and therefore should be thoroughly

compacted.

Because the load spreads out, the pressure on the soil is greatest right beneath

the footing. By the time we get down below the footing a distance equal to the footings

width, the unit soil pressure has dropped by about half. Go down the same distance again,

and the pressure has dropped by two-thirds. So it's the soil right under the footing that is

the most critical and also, typically, the most abused.

When we excavate for the footings, the teeth on the bucket stir up the soil and mix

air into it, decreasing its density. Also, soil from the embankment may fall into the trench.

Soil that's loose has much less bearing capacity than the original soil. That's why it is so

important to compact the trench bottom (use a vibrating plate compactor for sand or gravel

soils, and a jumping jack compactor for silt or clay). If you don't compact that soil, you

could get 1/2 inch of settlement in just the first 6 inches of soil.

If you dig too deep and replace the soil to recover the grade, you are adding back

soil that has expanded by as much as 50%. Under load, it will reconsolidate and cause

settling. So when you replace material in the trench, compact it thoroughly, or else use

large gravel. One-inch-and-a-half or larger gravel is virtually self-compacting as you place

it. Under the weight of a wood house, it won't settle to any significant degree. 14

 Every home or school has a personality. One of the first impressions that make up

that personality is the main entry door and the windows. Elaborate entry doors and high

design windows were traditionally reserved for the wealthy upper-class, to glorify their

elaborate mansions. In recent years, however, innovations in the industry have put

stunning window and door treatment designs within reach of middle class income

homeowners, and incredible examples are springing up on almost every block of almost

every neighborhood. Some of the most popular concepts are window groupings, often

with a central arch-topped main window surrounded by smaller rectangular or arch-

topped windows, to highlight a main wall, or vaulted or cathedral ceiling of a main room.

Smaller windows similar in design are generally used throughout the rest of the house.

For the most part, these type windows are custom made to order, using double pane

argon gas-filled construction for optimum energy efficiency. 15

When the average homeowner thinks of flooring, the most common thought that

comes to mind is carpet or vinyl. Today's flooring industry, however, has gifted us with

countless choices in soft covering options in carpet, as well as hard coverings: hardwood,

stone, ceramic tile, and even newer engineered options such as laminates and sheet

goods. In recent years, innovative eco-friendly and renewable floorings have been

developed such as bacteria-defying cork and bamboo, both of which have skyrocketed in

popularity.16

 Painting a building - whether the interior or exterior - is a task some homeowners

cringe to consider undertaking on their own. In recent years, however, with many

improvements to water-based latex paint, an increasing number of homeowners are

undertaking the task as a DIY project. The single most important thing to keep in mind is

that the finished project will only be as good as the preparation work. While interior

painting projects may prove less demanding in regards to prep work, it is critical to be

thorough preparing any surface before applying new paint. One thing to keep in mind is

that exterior paint is meant as a water and weather-proofing seal on the outside of your

home. If there are any places that water can get in, the life expectancy of the paint, as

well as your home, will be significantly compromised. For complete information and tips

for a DIY painting project, common mistakes to avoid, and tips in screening a painting

contractor, visit the article list below. 17

ENERGY PERFORMANCE TESTING, CERTIFICATION, AND LABELING

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) operates a voluntary program that

tests, certifies, and labels windows, doors, and skylights based on their energy

performance ratings. The NFRC label provides a reliable way to determine a window's

energy properties and to compare products.

The NFRC label can be found on all ENERGY STAR® qualified window, door, and

skylight products, but ENERGY STAR bases its qualification only on U-factor and solar

heat gain coefficient ratings, which are described below.

HEAT GAIN AND LOSS

Windows, doors, skylights can gain and lose heat through:

17
https://trustedpros.ca/articles/painting
 Direct conduction through the glass or glazing, frame, and/or door

 The radiation of heat into a house (typically from the sun) and out of a house from

room-temperature objects, such as people, furniture, and interior walls

 Air leakage through and around them.

These properties can be measured and rated according to the following energy

performance characteristics:

 U-factor is the rate at which a window, door, or skylight conducts non-solar heat flow.

It's usually expressed in units of Btu/hr-ft2-oF. For windows, skylights, and glass doors,

a U-factor may refer to just the glass or glazing alone. NFRC U-factor ratings, however,

represent the entire window performance, including frame and spacer material. The

lower the U-factor, the more energy-efficient the window, door, or skylight.

 Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)
is the fraction of solar radiation admitted through

a window, door, or skylight -- either transmitted directly and/or absorbed, and

subsequently released as heat inside a home. The lower the SHGC, the less solar heat

it transmits and the greater its shading ability. A product with a high SHGC rating is

more effective at collecting solar heat during the winter. A product with a low SHGC

rating is more effective at reducing cooling loads during the summer by blocking heat

gain from the sun. Your home’s climate, orientation, and external shading will

determine the optimal SHGC for a particular window, door, or skylight. For more

information about SHGC and windows, see passive solar window design.

 Air leakage
 is the rate of air movement around a window, door, or skylight in the

presence of a specific pressure difference across it. It's expressed in units of cubic feet
 per minute per square foot of frame area (cfm/ft2). A product with a low air leakage

rating is tighter than one with a high air leakage rating.

SUNLIGHT TRANSMITTANCE

The ability of glazing in a window, door, or skylight to transmit sunlight into a home can

be measured and rated according to the following energy performance characteristics:

 Visible transmittance (VT) is a fraction of the visible spectrum of sunlight (380 to

720 nanometers), weighted by the sensitivity of the human eye, that is transmitted

through the glazing of a window, door, or skylight. A product with a higher VT

transmits more visible light. VT is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The VT

you need for a window, door, or skylight should be determined by your home's

daylighting requirements and/or whether you need to reduce interior glare in a space.

 Light-to-solar gain (LSG)is the ratio between the SHGC and VT. It provides a

gauge of the relative efficiency of different glass or glazing types in transmitting

daylight while blocking heat gains. The higher the number, the more light transmitted

without adding excessive amounts of heat. This energy performance rating isn't

always provided.18

PROPOSED TWO STOREY SCHOOL BUILDING IN TABACO NATIONAL HIGH

SCHOOL, PANAL BANGKILINGAN TABACO CITY

The study's objective focuses mainly to help the Tabaco national high school in

their problem with regards on its current student population that are not sufficiently

accommodated due to lack of classrooms,

The proposed project is a reinforced concrete structure. It is located at Tabaco

national high school, Tabaco city, albay. It is a two-storey building having a floor area of

498.75 square meters and land area of 540 sq, meters. These building has 12

classrooms, 5 comfort rooms and 2 utility rooms. These buildings will accommodate a

total of 480 students.19

well.20

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

Buildings are complex and becoming more so as owners and policymakers

demand particular levels of performance. The focus is no longer on single building

characteristics but providing high performance through the optimization of numerous

attributes including safety and security, accessibility, historic preservation, functionality,

productivity, sustainability, cost effectiveness, aesthetics, and resiliency.

Despite the push to achieve high performance by building community leaders,

policymakers and building owners, such attempts will stall unless all members of the

building team trust the data demonstrating achievement of the intended results or

identifying necessary adjustments. This trust is built on the availability of credible data.

Data completeness is critical for producing meaningful, functional reports that are

used to inform decision-making.

After gathering necessary information about the site of the school. We conduct

survey for us to know how many students will benefit by the proposed project. Statistically

speaking the average student of Southern Bicol Colleges every semester is 513 students.

30% of these no. are engineering students. And because of the large number of

engineering students which is not being proportional to the number of other courses, the

classroom being occupied by these students became crowded. And here comes the

problem that right now, the school cannot give adequate facilities for these fast growing

engineering students.

By analyzing these data, we come up for the solution of designing a new building

for engineering students to occupy, which is a four-storey building that will surely

accommodate these large amount of students.

 CHAPTER IV

TECHNICAL STUDY

Field Investigation

Building Location

The Southern Bicol College is located at Mabini St., Masbate City, so the

proponents have decided to put the proposed building, College of Engineering at the

vacant space beside the school.

Physical Characteristics

Geographical Location

The City of Masbate is situated on the northern side of the island of Masbate facing

northeast towards Ticao Island between latitudes 12º 14’ north 12º 29’ north and between

123º 30’ east and 123º 39’ east longitudes. It is bounded on the northeast by Masbate

Pass; on the southwest by the municipality of Milagros and on the northwest by a portion

of Asid River and the municipalities of Milagros and Baleno.

From Manila, the city is barely 212.5 aerial miles or 362 nautical miles. By plane,

it takes more or less one hour to negotiate; by boat, 16 to 18 hours to ply.

 The city is likewise more or less situated at the center of Masbate province, taking

the tip of Burias Island as its northernmost part and the tip of Esperanza municipality as

the southernmost part. The city serves as the dividing line between Luzon and the rest of

the islands in the country.

Land Area

The city’s total land area is 187.89 square kilometers representing 4.64% of the

province’s 4,047.70 square kilometers of land area.

Land Classification

The topography of the main island is characterized by rolling hills and

discontinuous ranges of highlands and relatively broad bands of lowlands. On its

northwestern tip are limestone cliffs that rise almost perpendicularly from the waterline.

Several bays indent the coast of the islands; the most important of which are Port Barrera

and Masbate Bay.

A fairly continuous range of hills rises steeply from a narrow plain on the western

prong of Masbate Island. The larger arm of the island is not a continuous range but is

broken by two traverse valleys; one between Milagros and Port Palanog and the other

one, south of Uson.

Slope

The distribution of the city's land area by slope category 1)level to nearly level (0-

3%), distribution is 2-50%, 2) very gently sloping(3-5%), distribution is 4-30% ,3)gently

sloping (5-8%), distribution is 6-80%,4) moderately (sloping/rolling 8-15%, distribution is

5-20% ,5) Strongly sloping rolling (15-25%), distribution 81.20%.

Climatic Conditions

The maximum rain period in the municipality is not very pronounced. Masbate

City is generally dry from March to April and rainy during the rest of the year. The

locality is partly shattered from the northeast trade winds and open to the southwest

monsoon and to frequent cyclonic storms.

Northeast monsoon usually comes during the months of September. These are

the typhoon months. Thus, there is abundant rainfall in the areas . The Northeast or

tract winds occur from February to May where less amount of rainfall beng experienced

during the months.

Geographic Conditions

Mineral Potentials

Masbate city is abundant in mineral resources. Known deposit of manganese are

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Findings

Classrooms are environments and spaces that must provide: (1) the most effective

learning environments based on desired pedagogy; (2) an environment designed to

enhance a student’s ability to understand, observe, and participate in active learning; (3)

an environment that is comfortable for students and instructors as well as durable,

reliable, and easy to maintain; and (4) a room that is easy for faculty and student

equipment operators to use through standardization of controls, layouts, and

equipment.21

The study found out that the school has inadequate number of classrooms, that the

students almost attend classes under a tree. This problems give unease to the

engineering students.

The Proposed Four-Storey Building for engineering students was designed based

from NSCP 2010 & National Building Code and will conform to the standards and

specifications on building construction. It will accommodate the increasing number of

engineering students, and it is enough to provide the future enrollees more quality

classrooms with new equipment's.

 This project will benefit the community, employees, students and especially the

school. The community will be benefited through the additional job opportunities to the

people. Furthermore, it also gives business opportunities for local construction materials

suppliers.

The employees will benefit from the project through the salary and wages. This will add

to their resources to sustain their needs. The structure also provides an area for the

non-academic activities such as forums, seminars, and emergency meetings of some

public groups. The growth of students/trainees knowledge and skills can highly be

improved through facilities which will be given upon the implementation of the proposed

school building. It also provides educational area that is conductive for learning of the

students and a safe and convenient learning zone. A new and better building will attract

upcoming students to enroll in their school. This will help the school to be accredited for

a higher level. More buildings means more student to accommodate.

Conclusion

The institution needs more quality classroom facilities that can accommodate

upcoming students and is conducive for their learning.

Recommendation

We found out that the demand in classrooms will grow markedly by the year 2020

and beyond. The College should increase the number of classrooms with new equipment.
This proposal to construct a new building of engineering in order to accommodate future

enrollees could be an important component in producing a new breed of engineers. We

design the building that comply with the standard specification of building and can

accommodate increasing number of students in the future.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT

The Project/Construction Personnel

It will benefit the engineers, foreman, workers, and other personnel of the project

in a way that they will get salaries and wages, and fringe benefits.

The Students/ Trainees

The growth of students/trainees knowledge and skills can highly be improved

through facilities which will be given upon the implementation of the proposed school

building. It also provides educational area that is conductive for learning of the students

and a safe and convenient learning zone.

The Community

The community will be benefited through the additional job opportunities to the

people. Furthermore, it also gives business opportunities for local construction materials

suppliers.

Other Beneficiaries

The families and dependents of the employees will benefit from the project

through the salary and wages. This will add to their resources to sustain their needs.
The structure also provides an area for the non-academic activities such as forums,

seminars, and emergency meetings of some public groups.
