NSCP 2015
NSCP 2015: NATIONAL STRUCTURAL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES 2015
NSCP 2015 Code Requirements according to the National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015 with ideCAD Structural.
The National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015 is a Structural design code that guides structural and civil engineers in designing and assessing buildings and other structures. The NSCP's purpose is to provide a standard set of criteria for structures' design, construction, and upkeep.
Analysis settings that vary depending on the NSCP 2015 are explained in detail.
NSCP 2015 Options Tab in ideCAD Structural
Specifications |
|---|
Structural system type per NSCP 2015  The type of structural system for X and Y direction is selected in accordance with the design of the building. |
Response modification coefficient per NSCP 2015  It is the response modification coefficient value. This row is automatically refreshed when the structural system type is chosen. |
Overstrength factor per NSCP 2015  It is the strength excess coefficient value. This row is automatically refreshed when the structural system type is chosen. |
Redundancy factor per NSCP 2015  It is the redundancy factor value. This row is automatically refreshed when the structural system type is chosen. |
ELF Ct parameter per NSCP 2015  It is the ELF Ct parameter. This row is automatically refreshed when the structural system type is chosen. |
Accidental eccentricity ratio per NSCP 2015  The eccentricity ratio to be used during the analysis is given as a percentage. |
Use custom vertical seismic load factor per NSCP 2015  If checked, the custom vertical seismic load factor which entered in "factor to use (instead of 0.2 SDS)" line is used. |
Structural system per NSCP 2015  If the building block consists of only concrete elements, Concrete; if it consists of only steel elements, Steel; Steel + Concrete option is selected if it consists of concrete and steel elements. |
Building Risk Category per NSCP 2015  Building risk category value is selected from the list according to the purpose of use of the building. |
Story drift check per NSCP 2015  Allowable story drift value is entered. |
Response Spectrum Tab in ideCAD Structural for NSCP 2015
Specifications |
|---|
Spectrum curve per NSCP 2015  The spectrum curve resulting from the settings is shown. |
Function name per NSCP 2015  The name of the spectrum function. |
Spectrum multiplier per NSCP 2015  Factor of spectrum function. |
Soil profile type per NSCP 2015  Soil profile type is selected for the response spectrum. |
Seismic zone factor per NSCP 2015  Seismic zone factor value is entered for the response spectrum. |
Seismic source type per NSCP 2015  Seismic source type is selected for the response spectrum. |
Distance to source [km] per NSCP 2015  Distance to source value is entered for the response spectrum. |
User defined values per NSCP 2015  If this option is selected, parameters such as Ca, Cv, Na and Nv become active. |
Ca/Cv per NSCP 2015  Seismic coefficient value is entered for the response spectrum. |
Na per NSCP 2015  Near source factor use in the detemination of Ca for the response spectrum. |
Nv per NSCP 2015  Near source factor use in the detemination of Cv for the response spectrum. |
