Load Calculations

Project: A Proposed 5-Storey Dormitory
General Specifications: A Steel Structure with a Covered Roof Deck above Floor 5
Location: Davao City, Philippines
Date: March 11, 2017
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. Architectural
This building is called "Dormnasia". Literally speaking Dormnasia is somewhat a "slang"
term for "Dorm ni siya. With its behind-curtain punch line, "Dili ni siya hotel, Dorm ni siya". It
would like to promote a stylish at budget-rate-kind standard of living, measured in terms of our
clean, cost-effective bedroom unit structures, well-maintained facilities and an open-view space
along the busy high way of McArthur. At the same time as what the prospective owners of this
establishment wants to achieve, having dormers as the main priority, Dormnasia would like to
have a long-lasting innovative impression that would make them feel like they're living in a
stylish and cozy hotel- like bedrooms in a very economical way.
Also, Dormnasia offers commercial rents. In line with the dormitel-kind of business
concept, commercial rents are also located at the ground floor of the said building premise.
Dormnasia's commercial spaces would like to give way to different businesses to expand and
branch out their names and brands in the vicinity of Sandawa highway. These commercial spaces
would also help the dorm-room tenants, complimenting their needs and wants as they live and
take their journey in Dormnasia.
B. Structural
Challenged to today’s engineering development, the proposed 5-Storey
Dormitory will be constructed out of steel material throughout the entire floors.
Reinforced concrete will of course, be used in the structure’s foundation and slab layout.
Roof deck is still present but it is to be covered with roof.
