ABSTRACT

This project is a design of a sports center with Smart Bricks for wall addressed at
Barangay Sieta, Lipa City, Batangas in the fulfillment of the course requirements in Civil
Engineering Project.

Nowadays, there is a need for sports center especially in the urban areas like Brgy
Siete, Lipa City, Batangas. The main concept for the Smart Bricks for wall is to have
light weight than traditional walling material and to have excellent thermal and sound
insulation of a green building. The study also aims to provide material, labor, and other
cost estimation. Moreover, the architectural design presented in this research was made
by the proponents using AutoCad 2019 and STAAD PRO and SketchUP Pro 2018. By
following the standards stated in National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015
(NSCP) and National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP) with the aid of software
modeling tools, STAAD Pro V8i and STAAD Reinforced Concrete Designer (RCDC),
the researchers are able to provide a complete and detailed plan for structural members
such as footing, columns, beams, floor, and roof slabs. Aside from analyzing structural
integrity of the design structure using software, this study also aims to present the use of
Smart Bricks replacement for the concrete hollow block; it has opened up one more
chapter on the advancement of concrete technology.

The total cost of the project before completion using Smart Brick is Php
***********. The researchers conclude that Smart Brick is more cost-effective than
using the concrete hollow blocks and the duration is faster compared to the conventional.
