I. Introduction

The Philippines has established building codes and standards to ensure that
constructions adhere to safety guidelines. The National Building Code of the
Philippines (NBCP) serves as the principal reference for building design. It
outlines requirements for structural elements, including columns, considering
factors such as dead loads, live loads, and lateral loads, which are especially
significant in earthquake-prone areas.

This report was created as part of the Final Project and serves as the Final
Examination for the structural and architectural design analysis of the Jhocson
Memorial Building (JMB).

The data inputs, design analysis, and output results were produced using the
structural analysis and design software ETABS. This specialized program,
developed by CSI America, is designed specifically for building structures. It
provides students and designers with all the necessary tools to create, modify,
analyze, design, and optimize the structural elements in a building model.

Based on the analysis results, the design drawings were prepared using
AutoCAD 2025.

The Jhocson Memorial Building (JMB) is located on the east side of the National
University-Manila campus. This five-story institutional building features a
modern architectural design. At the ground level, it includes a multi-purpose
area known as the social hall. The social hall serves as a communal space for
students and faculty, equipped with modern amenities for various events and
gatherings. The building's upper floors house classrooms, laboratories, and
administrative offices, all designed to foster an engaging learning environment.
The integration of natural light and open spaces enhances the overall aesthetic
and functionality of the Jhocson Memorial Building. The exterior is painted in
neutral colors, accented with character colors of yellow and blue.

II. Background
The Jhocson Memorial Building at National University (NU) in Manila holds
significant historical importance. Following a devastating fire on January 1,
1998, which destroyed four of the university's buildings—including the old Main
Building, Law and Commerce Building, Elementary Building, and Graduate
School Building—the university managed to reopen after three weeks of
restoration, utilizing the Mariano F. Jhocson Memorial Building as its primary
facility.

This building is named in honor of Don Mariano Fortunato Jhocson, the

university's founder. Established on August 1, 1900, NU began as Colegio
Filipino in Quiapo, Manila. Don Mariano's vision was to provide non-sectarian
and co-educational opportunities, starting with elementary and high school
education. Over time, the institution expanded its curriculum to include business

 courses, leading to its renaming as Colegio Mercantil, and later, in 1921,
achieving university status as National University.
Today, the Jhocson Memorial Building stands as a testament to Don Mariano's
enduring legacy and the university's resilience, continuing to serve as a central
hub for academic and administrative activities within the NU Manila campus.

IV. STRUCTURAL DESIGN ANALYSIS
➢ According to Chapter 7, Section 701 of the National Building Code of the
Philippines, the occupancy classification for JMB is Group C, which encompasses
Education and Recreation. Furthermore, as outlined in Chapter 4, Section 401, the
type of construction is classified as Type III.
a. Columns
• The standard column size for a G+4 building is at least 0.3 x 0.45 in meters. (12 × 18 in
inches, or 300 × 450 in mm, or 30 × 45 in cm, or 0.3 × 0.45 in meter, or 1 × 1.5 in feet.)
• The minimum and maximum distance between two columns might range from 10 to 25
feet (3 to 7.5 meters), but it can be depending on factors like building load, material
strength, and local building codes.
• The minimum column size must be determined based on seismic hazard assessments,
soil conditions, and structural analysis to ensure the building’s ability to withstand
ground motions and lateral forces.
• On weaker soils, the design will likely need to accommodate lower column spacing
and larger dimensions to distribute loads more evenly.
b. Beams
• The 300mm x 600mm beam is structurally strong and meets NSCP 2015 standards,
ensuring stability and safety. A 5-story L-shaped school building needs 150 to 175
beams, with 30 to 35 per floor. JMB’s beam count appears sufficient, but final
verification is needed. Overall, the beam design is safe, stable, and structurally sound
for the building
c. Girders
d. Slabs
• As for observation and analyzing the slab on the building it surpassed the standard
based on the DPWH general notes. The standard size was 20mm clear minimum from
bottom and from the top of the slab. The slab on the building is defined as a two-way
slab.

e. Stairs
Minimum width: 150mm
Max Riser: 200mm
Minimum tread: 200mm

• The inconsistent dimensions of the stairs at JMB raise significant concerns according
to the National Building Code of the Philippines (NSCP). This crucial code emphasizes
that stair dimensions must be uniform to ensure safety and accessibility. Variations in
rise and run measurements not only create serious tripping hazards but can also lead
to fatigue, raising the risk of accidents and injuries. Moreover, these discrepancies
violate essential building code regulations, which could expose the institution to legal
challenges. Adhering to the NSCP guidelines for uniform step dimensions is vital for
the safety and comfort of everyone using the facility.

• Additionally, the design of the stairs includes a wider configuration, allowing them to
function as a fire exit. This thoughtful design ensures that students can move down the
stairs safely and efficiently without the risk of bumping into one another, further
enhancing overall safety.

138 | P a g e
V. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ANALYSIS
a. ELEVATION PLAN
• Elevation plan is based on the students' everyday point of view. It is a detailed
architectural drawing that represents the vertical view of a building or structure. It
showcases the height, proportions, and external appearance of the design, including
windows, doors, materials, and decorative elements. Elevation plans provide crucial
information about the facade, ensuring that the aesthetic and functional aspects align
with the overall design intent. They are essential for visualizing how the structure will
appear in reality and help architects, engineers, and clients make informed decisions
regarding materials, finishes, and design modifications.
• Because of the shape of the structure, the student assumed that the side that has the
school name is the front view. See attached picture for your reference.

b. CEILINGS
• The NSCP follows the National Building Code for ceiling height: 2.40m for rooms,
2.10m for kitchens/bathrooms, and 1.80m for mezzanines. Higher ceilings can improve
ventilation and aesthetics. Since the JMB ceiling exceeds the standard height, it
provides better ventilation.

c. DOORS
• There shall be two (2) doors for every classroom.
• The swing-out should be 180 degrees.
• The doors must be 0.90 meter in clear width and 2.10 meters in clear height.
• SECTION 1007. Doors, Windows, and the like Doors, windows, and the like less than
2.40 meters above the pavement or groundline shall not, when fully opened or upon
opening, project beyond the property line except fire exit doors.

139 | P a g e
• The doors must withstand normal wear and tear and shall be provided with keyed
lever-type locksets.

d. MASONRY

• The National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP), implemented under Republic
Act No. 6541, serves as a crucial framework for ensuring quality and safety in building
construction, with a strong emphasis on masonry work. By clearly defining acceptable
materials—such as concrete blocks, bricks, and mortar—the code establishes vital
criteria for strength, durability, and fire resistance that every construction project must
meet.

• Opting for Rough Surface finishes, like brick-like concrete or textured concrete blocks,
not only provides a rustic and inviting aesthetic but also enhances thermal insulation,
making them a practical choice for exterior walls. These materials can be left exposed
to celebrate their natural texture or painted to integrate seamlessly with the building's
overall design.

• In contrast, Smooth Surface finishes, synonymous with sleek, plain concrete, offer a
sophisticated and contemporary appearance perfect for interior spaces. This finish is
adaptable, allowing for easy painting or plastering that can achieve a wide range of
textures and colors, thus empowering design creativity.

• Furthermore, tiles offer an extensive variety of colors, patterns, and textures, making
them a premier choice for both interior and exterior applications. Their durability and
ease of maintenance not only contribute to functional longevity but also enhance the
overall visual appeal of any building, making them an excellent investment for creating
aesthetically pleasing and enduring spaces.

e. TILES
• In the corridors, the tiles are accurately chosen because they are made of ceramic,
which is durable, water-resistant, and cost-effective.
• In hallways, the tiles are also accurately selected, as they are quarry tiles. These tiles
are slip-resistant and ideal for wet areas. Similarly, in open spaces or activity areas,
the tiles used are matte-finished ceramic tiles, which provide slip resistance, durability,
aesthetic appeal, and suitability for outdoor use.
• In classrooms, however, the tiles do not meet the required standards since they are
made of quarry tiles. While they may still be somewhat functional, they are not the
most precise choice for this setting.

f. WINDOWS
• The windows must be of bilateral fenestration (transparent or translucent), operable
louver type. The window must allow the entry of daylight even if it is closed.
• The total area of window openings must be at least 10.00 square meters to provide for
natural ventilation and illumination.
• The minimum height of the fixed louver or transom window above the operable
windows is 0.30 meter.
• The window panels, when opened, must not be an obstruction along the corridor.
• The window metal frames and jalousie holders must be sturdy enough to withstand
vandalism.

VI. MEPF ANALYSIS
a. MECHANICAL DESIGN
Section 801: General Requirements for Light and Ventilation

• To enhance the well-being and productivity of occupants, it is essential that all

buildings are designed and constructed with careful attention to light and ventilation.
Modifications that compromise room dimensions, limit window openings, or introduce
new rooms are strictly forbidden unless they are in full compliance with established
building codes.

• The JMB strongly emphasizes that while air conditioning and open windows can
provide some level of ventilation, they are inadequate as standalone solutions. A
robust ventilation system that meets or exceeds building code standards is critical for
fostering a healthier and more effective learning environment for students.

• To achieve this, a comprehensive strategy is vital, incorporating elements such as air

changes per hour, fresh air intake, efficient exhaust systems, and ongoing air quality
monitoring, all while adhering to relevant regulations. This holistic approach is
essential in creating classrooms that are not only comfortable but also highly conducive
to impactful learning experiences.

b. ELECTRICAL DESIGN
• The observation of the lighting for the JMB Building per room is enough for the
institutional building. The lighting and layout provided a better lumination for the
students and faculty members. Although there’s some part of the building that needed
a better lumination, it was located at the middle part of the building, specifically starting
at the toilet and considered as a faculty room before (207,307,407).

141 | P a g e
• Another part of the observation is the location of their panel board. It was located
beside the female toilet on every floor, with the steel door and unlocked which can
cause danger to the students and also faculty members as there may be safety
concerns.
• It is not advisable to place the panel board near the comfort room. The electrical panel
controls all the electrical devices such as appliances, electrical system of the floor,
appliances mechanically, and lastly all that using electricity which can trip and shut off
power in the event of an electrical overload or short circuit. Placing it beside the comfort
room there is a risk of water coming into contact with the panel, although as it has an
electrical pipe for the proper wirings, it could be still beside the plumbing pipes that
was used for the comfort room.

• Adding for the observation and analysis, according to the Philippine Electrical code,
the panel board should be located in a readily accessible area, ideally near the main
entrance of the building or in a utility room.

142 | P a g e
 • Also for the Emergency panel light some of them are not the same brand and some of
them are unplugged. If there’s an emergency power shortage, it can’t provide a proper
lumination to the hallways because some are not charged.
• Since we don’t have access or we are not allowed to know where the electrical room
is, we didn’t see where the generator is. Unfortunately, we cannot give concrete details
where it was located because the facilities advised that it was prohibited for the
students.
• All electrical installation works herein shall be done in accordance with the latest edition
of the Philippine Electrical Code.
• All the wiring method has intermediate metal conduit (IMC) for service entrance and
all exposed portions. Minimum wire size installed shall be 3.5mm^2 TYPE THHN,
unless otherwise indicated.
• All circuit breakers shall be square D brand or any equivalent approved brand, bolt on
type in IP 55 enclosure for outdoor locations, using smart type approved enclosure.
• All equipment and materials shall be brand new and suited to the required use.
Mounting height shall be as follows:
• Switch is 1.40m. The switches in the JMB building per room passed the standard
height from ground. It is also located beside the front door of each rooms that gives
the person easy turning on the lights.
• Convenience Outlet is 0.30m. The outlets or convenience outlets of the JMB building
per room passed the standard height from ground. It is located on the back and front
of each classroom. In Drafting rooms and Lab Rooms there are 2 outlets and 1 outlet
in front for the television.

ACU Outlet = 0.40m (BELOW CEILING TO CENTER OF THE DEVICE)

c. PLUMBING DESIGN
• The specification for the plumbing plan is the water lines, downspout, storm drainage
pipes, vent pipes/vent stack, soil and waste pipes, valves, pipe sealant, and lastly
drains and cleanouts.

General Plumbing System Overview

• The Jhocson Memorial Building at National University Manila is an older structure with
a plumbing system that has been maintained overtime. The building consists of
multiple floors, each with sanitary fixtures and drainage components.
Plumbing Fixtures and Sanitary Provisions
1) Toilet and Lavatory Provisions
• The ground floor has 3 toilets for both male and female, 2 showers, and 4 lavatories.
• The 2nd to 4th floors have identical layouts, each containing 4 toilets and 1 lavatory.

143 | P a g e
 • According to the Revised National PLumbing Code of the Philippines, RNPCP Section
410, each building must be provided with sanitary facilities as prescribed by the
National Building Code.
• The number of toilets and lavatories appears to meet the minimum fixture requirements
for educational institutions, but the ratio should be verified against occupancy load
requirements.
2) Water Supply and Functionality
• The water supply for the JMB is sourced from an adjacent building.
• Fixtures such as toilets, lavatories, and showers function properly, indicating a
sufficient and reliable water supply.
• Section 601 of the RNPCP states that each plumbing fixture must be provided with an
adequate supply of potable running water.
• The cleanliness of water and proper drainage suggest that the system is generally
compliant.
3) Pipe System Issues
• The piping system lacks clear color coding, making it hard to differentiate between
plumbing, electrical, and mechanical pipes.
• According to Section 1401.2 of RNPCP, pipes must be labeled or stamped for
identification.
• The exposed pipes, while not generally a violation, may require additional protection
to comply with Section 502, which mandates maintaining plumbing systems in a
sanitary and safe condition.
Drainage and Sanitary Systems
4) Drain Functionality and Cleanouts
• Drains are functional and do not clog easily which aligns with Principle No. 8 of the
RNPCP, requiring a system that prevents fouling, clogging, and buildup of solids.
• The presence of cleanouts ensures maintenance accessibility as required under
Section 1308 which specifies the use of cleanouts in drainage systems.
5) Downspouts and Rainwater Management
• Some downspouts are misaligned with the catch basins causing water to splash
outside rather than being directed to the drainage system.
• RNPCP Section 306.2 states that rainwater drains must discharge outside the building
or to a gutter, not into waste pipes.

Code Compliance and Recommendations

6) Workmanship and Materials
• Section 310 of RNPCP states that all plumbing work must adhere to accepted
engineering practices.
• Although the building is old, its plumbing system has been maintained and most
fixtures operate as expected.
• Recommendation: Inspect exposed pipes for potential damage and apply protective
measures to enhance durability.
7) Waterproofing and Sealing
• Section 1307 requires that all pipe openings on rods and walls be made waterlight.
• While no leakage issues have been reported, ensuring all wall and roof penetrations
are sealed and approved materials are advisable.
8) Proper Identifications of Piping Systems
• Though not really exaggerated, the lack of color coded pipes makes differentiation
difficult.
• Recommendation: Implement color coding as per National Code.
9) Adequacy of Existing Infrastructure
• Since the water source is in an adjacent building, pressure fluctuations should be
monitored to ensure compliance with Section 610.1, which requires adequate flow
rates.

144 | P a g e
 • The misaligned downspouts should be adjusted to avoid excessive water runoff, in
accordance with Section 306.2.

CONCLUSION:
The plumbing system NU Manila’s JMB is generally functional and well maintained despite
being an older infrastructure. However, compliance improvements are recommended. The
system does not exhibit major code violations but would benefit from minor corrective
measures to enhance safety, efficiency, and compliance with the Revised National Plumbing
Code of the Philippines.

d. FIRE PROTECTION DESIGN

(RA 9514 FIRE CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES 2008)
• RED EXTINGUISHER
- Red extinguishers are located in open space that are easy access in case of an
emergency. Red extinguishers are general-purpose and contain common
extinguishing agents like water, foam, or dry powder.

• GREEN EXTINGUISHER
- Green fire extinguishers are unfortunately not available in JMB. But here are some
rooms that might be optional: a green fire extinguisher (clean agent) in specific areas
like computer labs, server rooms, or science laboratories where delicate electronics or
chemicals are present.

• DRY STANDPIPES
- The dry standpipes for the building are located inside the security office which is not
suitable for a standpipe. Dry standpipes shall be located within enclosed stairway
landings near such stairways as possible or immediately inside of an exterior wall and
within 300 mm of an opening in a stairway enclosure of the balcony or vestibule of a
smokeproof tower or an outside exit stairway.

• WET STANDPIPES
- Together with the dry standpipe, the location of all interior wet standpipes shall be in
accordance with the requirement for dry standpipes.

• SPRINKLERS
- According to NSCP , sprinklers in JMB exceeded the maximum limit of sprinklers per
room. And in the Social hall/Activity it exceeded the maximum limit of
sprinklers. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13

• PENDENT SPRINKLERS
- Exposed ceilings, hallways, industrial areas. In JMB pendant sprinklers are
unfortunately unavailable.

• RECESSED SPRINKLERS
- Finished ceilings, offices, classrooms. Recessed sprinklers are available in all parts of
the ceiling in JMB.

• FIRE ALARM
- Entrances & Exits
Near stairwells and exits for quick evacuation.
- Placed at main entrances, emergency exits, and building exits.
Ensures that alarms are easily accessible.

145 | P a g e
• EXITS
- According to the NBCP, a building that accommodates more than 1,000 occupants
requires a minimum of four exits. However, JMB currently has only three exits, and its
stairways were built for emergency situations.

• FIRE HOSE CABINETS

- The placement of each fire hose cabinets in the JMB are all in the right place – near
exits, stairways, and at regular intervals along corridors to facilitate quick access during
emergencies.

• SMOKED DETECTORS
- In rooms the smoked detectors are passed, but in the activity area it is not.
- Normal Rooms → 1 smoke detector
- Laboratory Rooms → 1–2 smoke detectors
- Activity Area → 1 smoke detector

• DRY FIRE CONNECTIONS

- Near the Main Entrance or Fire Lane
- The dry fire connection should be easily accessible for fire trucks.
