A Two Storey Steel Framed Commercial Building Project in Tarlac

The transfer of loads in a standard roofed building is analyzed in the structural design accounting for gravity, earthquake, and wind loads. The building has a structural height of 12 meters, which is equivalent to a four-story building with regular floor heights of 3 meters.

A traditional old Filipino house typically features a combination of masonry and lumber construction, with approximately half of the structure built from each material. The lumber used is often sourced from hardwood species like Narra. This type of construction was prevalent in the Philippines for many years, and these houses were designed to withstand the tropical climate, heavy rainfall, and typhoons that are common in the region. Today, these houses are considered an important part of the country's cultural heritage, and efforts are being made to preserve them for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
