C. Technical Topics and PresentationsSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN PROFESSIONAL- STAAD PRO ENGR. JULIUS T. MICAYAS M. ASCE, M. ASEPABSTRACT: Dependency in computer software collectively became a top priority for practicing civil/structural engineers here and abroad. Usual demand by clients prior to engaging in design project is the availability of structural software in the company. Unfortunately, one of many choices of software required is a STAAD-PRO. Why STAAD-PRO? The proficiency in a STAAD-PRO, Civil/Structural Engineering profession increases companys productivity, quality, accuracy and flexibility. As a result company revenues surge beyond expectations. Nevertheless, the creation of a company-client long term relationship and the pursuit of excellence are closer to imagination.Global competition, meeting clients requirements, questions of accuracy, consistency, conformity to the code and standard, and quality of calculations becoming engineers worst nightmare. Nowadays, a practicing Civil/Structural Engineers use two methodologies, in structural analysis namely: 1) Manual calculation, and 2) Structural software The first methodology, (i.e. Manual calculation) is the traditional approach which requires human influence and 100% participation. The second methodology is computer software driven which requires less human participation. Although, simultaneous applications of both methodologies are publicly acclaimed but the use of structural software in the engineering practices our tasks becoming easy, flexible and precise.MAIN OBJECTIVES: A.

ESTIMATING EARTHQUAKE RISKS: THE USE OF RAPID EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE ASSESSMENTPresented by ENGR. ARTHUR IBAEZ & ENGR. POLICARPIO MABBORANG JR.Today, the occurrence of earthquakes is still impossible to forecast although we know it will happen. If significant damages occur from natural disasters despite certain degrees of preparation to prevent the damages, moreso, if we are caught flat-footed! An earthquake is a phenomenon that results from the sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property. In the Philippines, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)of the Department of Science & Technology (DOST) is the mandated agency to mitigate disasters that may arise from such volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other related geotectonic phenomena. One of its modest attempts to help in this cause is the development of the Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS), a Geographical Information System (GIS) software used to provide a quick and near real-time simulated earthquake hazard map information as well as integrated with exposure data and risk elements for determining the extent of potential damage caused by seismic hazard. Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS) is a locally-produced GIS software used to provide a quick and near real-time simulated earthquake hazard map which is integrated with exposure data and risk elements for determining the extent of potential damage caused by seismic hazard.Tuguegarao City was chosen as the study site being the regional center in Cagayan Valley. With reference to the University of the Philippines-Institute of Civil Engineering Building Typology, 81% of the buildings surveyed are made up of C1 followed by 7.4% of W1 and 2.4% of CWS. Most of the buildings encountered (87%) were built after 1992. Using the majority of the building types as a basis, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that will hit the pilot site would cost about P 255M affecting 1400-3000 people in Carig Sur; P 81M affecting 4001200 in Centro 6; and P 70M affecting about 1000 people in Centro 10. These values are based on impact estimation and ground shaking only excluding the effects of possible landslides, liquefaction, and/or tsunami. Damages reflect building replacement costs at the time of survey while people directly affected assumed local residents only. Other losses from non-structural damages are not considered in the study. DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BOX AND DECK GIRDERS THRU CANTILEVER AND LAUNCHING GIRDER METHODENGR. CRESENCIO P. NATIVIDAD JR.BRIDGE - a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it.The type of bridge used depends on various features of the obstacle. The main feature that controls the bridge type is the size of the obstacle. How far is it from one side to the other? This is a major factor in determining what type of bridge to use. Basic Types:1. Girder Bridge2. Truss Bridge3. Arch Bridge4. Suspension Bridge5. Cantilever bridge6. Cable-stayed bridge7. Extradosed Bridge8. Box Girder Bridge Girder Bridge - Consists of a horizontal beam supported at each end by piers. The weight of the beam pushes straight down on the piers. The farther apart its piers, the weaker the beam becomes. This is why beam bridges rarely span more than 76 meters.Truss Bridge - Truss design is to support the bridge deck; Loads members in tension and compression; Members are pinned at joints (Moment = 0); Triangles provide stability and strength. Arch Bridge - The arch has great natural strength. The arch is squeezed together, and this squeezing force is carried outward along the curve to the supports at each end. The supports, called abutments, push back on the arch and prevent the ends of the arch from spreading apart.Suspension Bridge - This kind of bridges can span 2,000 to 7,000 feet -- way farther than any other type of bridge! Most suspension bridges have a truss system beneath the roadway to resist bending and twisting.Cantilever bridge - A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using cantilevers, structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end. For large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete. The steel truss cantilever bridge can span over 1,500 feet (460 m), and can be more easily constructed at difficult crossings by virtue of using little or no falsework.Cable-stayed bridge - The cable-stayed bridge, like the suspension bridge, supports the roadway with massive steel cables, but in a different way. The cables run directly from the roadway up to a tower, forming a unique "A" shape. Cable-stayed bridges are becoming the most popular bridges for medium-length spans (between 500 and 3,000 feet).Extradosed Bridge - An extradosed bridge employs a structure that is frequently described as a cross between a girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge.[ Deck is directly supported by resting on part of the tower. The cable stays act as prestressing cables for a concrete deck, whether made with I-beam girders or a box girder.Box Girder Bridge - Box structure reduce the weight and material. Increase the strength on top and bottom to resist compression and tension Use of box girder is gaining popularity in bridge engineering fraternity because of its better stability, serviceability, economy, aesthetic appearance and structural efficiency.

E. ConclusionI was inspired on what Engr. Joseph Salvador Tan, City Mayor, Santiago City, Isabela and former president of Quirino Chapter, said in his speech as the keynote speaker, In every building we build, we build towers of hope.The Technical Seminar is a great help for us students since it showcased the different areas in the field of Civil Engineering namely, infrastructure, education and social responsibility. The knowledge we acquired are really a great help for us as future Civil Engineers.I am looking forward to another convention like this for more knowledge and skills we can get.
