Abstract:

The study compared the structural designs of a standard three-storey building in Apayao using the NSCP 2010 versus using the NSCP 2015. The existing plans of the building were used for the design of the building model. Dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and earthquake loads were the loads needed to be compared in the study. The data from these loads were simulated using STAAD and ETABS. Design adjustments were made during and after obtaining the output. The final analysis and evaluation were made using different parameters such as stresses, moment diagrams, shear reinforcements, and areas of steel reinforcements.
