    The structural code of the Philippines outlines standards that engineers, planners, and construction teams must strictly follow to ensure structural safety and achieve economic goals. Key types of loads that must be analyzed include dead loads from materials and equipment, live loads from occupants that vary by building type, wind loads important in typhoon-prone areas, snow loads where relevant, and critical earthquake loads involving both vertical and horizontal forces.

    STRUCURAL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

    Structural code means the written and approved codes prescribing structural standards to be strictly
    followed. It is necessary for engineers , planning and construction teams to ensure proper analysis of the
    structure. This would ensure the safety for general welfare and achieved economic standards as well.

    Types of Loads on Structures and Buildings

    1. Dead loads – weight of the materials used for its structure (trusses, beams, columns, etc.) and
    also permanent equipments,
    2. Live loads- refer to the weight of the occupants considering if it is for private dwellings or for
    public usage.
    3. Wind loads – the load causes by the wind. It is necessary to analyze the wind load especially
    in the case for typhoon or hurricane prone areas.
    4. Snow loads – the load causes by the snow. Analyzing the snow load during winter is a must
    since it carry weight.
    5. Earthquake loads – one of the most crucial analysis is earthquake loads since it is both
    vertical and horizontal forces that includes shaking to the structure.
