STEEL AND TIMBER DESIGN: Project Report

______________________________________________________________________________

1. Project Overview
The project is a two-storey residential house perfect for small or starting families. It
includes a living and dining area, a kitchen, two bedrooms with attached baths, a powder room,
a spacious balcony, and a laundry area. It also includes space for a double-car carport.

Figure 1. Second Floor Plan of a Residential Home

The second floor of this two-storey residential home offers a straightforward layout,
comprising a guest bedroom, a bathroom, a master bedroom with an ensuite, and a balcony
space, all interconnected by a central hallway which is directly connected to the stairs. The
floor-to-floor height is 3000mm, with a 100mm slab thickness. Exterior walls feature a
standardized thickness of 150mm, while interior walls measure 100 mm.

Floor finishes include:

a) Hardwood flooring, labeled as FF01, is used in the two bedrooms, with a
dimension of 22 mm thk.
b) Ceramic Tiles, labeled as FF02, is used in the hallway, with dimensions of 600 x
600 x 10mm thk., (24x24in.) with ⅜ in mortar bed.
c) Slate finish, labeled as FF03, is used in the outdoor space (balcony), with a
dimension of 6mm thk.
d) Ceramic Tiles, labeled as FF04, is used in the two bathrooms, with dimensions of
300 x 300 x 10mm thk., (12x12in.) with ⅜ in mortar bed.

On the left, the first image clearly identifies the columns and beams, while the second
image on the right provides a visual representation of the slab, distinguishing between one-way
and two-way slabs by color-coding to indicate load distribution.

2. Computation

a. Loads
i. Determining the line loads due to the CHB Walls.
Assuming that the wall heights are the same as the floor height (3.00 m), and
have two different thicknesses of 200-mm thk. And 100-mm thk. CHB walls, it will
then be multiplied to their assigned density in accordance with the “Density of
Common Building Materials”.

ii. Live Load

In reference to Table 4-1 in Chapter 4 of “Minimum Design Loads for Buildings
and Other Structures”, the live loads for residential areas is 1.92 KPa.
STEEL AND TIMBER DESIGN: Project Report

______________________________________________________________________________

iii. Slab
Upon utilizing concrete and gravel for the slab, the assumed density will then be
referenced from the “Density of Common Building Materials” which is 2,400 kg/m3

The determined density will be used to compute the area load of the slab
through multiplying it by the assumed slab thickness which is 100 mm.

However, before doing so, it must first be converted to kN/m3.

iv. Floor Finishes

The floor finishes used are as follows:
FF01: 22-mm thk. Hardwood Flooring
FF02: 600×600x10mm thk. (24x24in) Ceramic Tiles with 3/8 in. Mortar bed
FF03: 6-mm thk. Slate Finish
FF04: 300x300x10mm thk. (12x12in) Ceramic tiles with 3/8 Mortar bed

The minimum density for FF01 as per National Structural Code of the Philippines
(NSCP): Section 204~205 is 0.19 KPa.
STEEL AND TIMBER DESIGN: Project Report

For FF02 and FF04, the solution is shown below:

Lastly, the determined area load for FF03, in accordance with NSCP is
0.028 per mm thickness. Thus,

The total loads computed is 9.253 KPa. This comprises the total live load and dead load,
and the load constant value 0.3 Kpa for the ceiling and utilities (under dead load). which can be
seen in the solution below.

Given that the loads are uniform line loads

ω𝑇𝑂𝑇𝐴𝐿 = ω𝐶𝐻𝐵 + ω𝐷𝐿 + ω𝐿𝐿
ω𝑇𝑂𝑇𝐴𝐿 = 16. 95 + 2. 218 + 2. 218 + 1. 92 + 1. 92
ωTOTAL = 25.226 KN/m

1. Using the AISC table, select at least 3 possible steel sections

● W10 x 12
- W = 12 lb/ft
- S = 10.9 in3
● W8 x 15
- W = 15 lb/ft
- S = 11.8 in3
● W6 x 20
- W = 20 lb/ft
- S = 13.4 in3

2. Choose the economical section, and verify if the section can sustain the applied
loads considering its own weight

2.1. We need to determine first if this section is compact or non-compact

- Solving the upper limits for compact category for the flange

𝐸 29 000
0. 38 𝐹𝑦
= 0. 38 36
= 10.785

- Solving the upper limits for compact category for the web

𝐸 29 000
3. 76 𝐹𝑦
= 3. 76 36
= 106.717

- Now comparing this to the width to thickness ratio of the section’s elements

9.43 < 10.785

46.6 < 106.717

Therefore, section is compact.

2.2. Considering bending
