STEQUAK Earthquake Engineering

3 units
This course deals with the fundamentals and basics concepts of seismic design as well as the minimum standards
for the analysis, design, and construction of earthquake resistant structures. The course covers the introduction to
seismology and seismicity of the Philippines, lessons learned from earthquakes, seismic code provisions, procedure
of design of earthquake resistant structures, seismic analysis of buildings and structures, calculation of seismic
forces, and dynamic analysis of structures. It also deals with the determination of loads of structures due to
earthquake motions, methods of analysis for lateral forces, dynamics of single and multi degree-of-freedom system,
approximate dynamic analysis, concepts of mass, damping, stiffness of structures, and retrofitting of existing
building. Critical building configurations and appropriate methods of analysis are also given emphasis. Applications
and specifications as applied to buildings and other skeletal structures are also given importance.

TRESYSD Transportation System and Design, Airports, Ports and Railways

3 units
This course is divided into three fields of study, (1) airport engineering, (2) ports and harbors, (3) railway engineering.
In airport engineering, the aircraft characteristics and design are first discussed and its effect on the planning and
design of both the landside and airside facilities are then applied. Airport capacity and delay are also given
emphasis. In ports and harbors, the course introduces the basic wave mechanics and the second part deals with
engineering applications for harbors, their planning and design. In railway engineering, the planning, design and
operation of rail (regional and urban) facilities are discussed. Focus is also given to route layout and location as well
as the design of rail stations and terminals.
Pre-requisite: CIVMATL, ENGSTAT

3 units
The topics includes: Statistical analysis and data presentation techniques; Linear Regression Analysis, Operation
Research methodologies like Linear Programming and Network Analysis focusing on Transportation Networks;
Queueing Theory; Simulation – with application to traffic and transportation engineering problems.
Pre-requisite: ENGSTAT, CIVMATL

TRETRAN Transportation Planning

4 units
This course follows the traditional four-step urban transport planning which include – trip generation, trip distribution,
modal split analysis, and traffic assignment. Trip Generation pertains to the understanding of where person trips are
produced (trip production) and attracted (trip attraction) and includes such topics as uniform growth factor method,
cross classification/categorical analysis and regression analysis. In trip Distribution, this pertains to where the person
trips are distributed in each and every zone of the study area and the topics include the uniform growth factor
method, the fratar method and gravity model. Modal split analysis considers the type of modes being used during
travel, usually trips are basically divided into public and private modes and such models as logit choice analysis is
being used. In Traffic Assignment, the trips are then assigned to the road network and the simplest methods used
are the shortest path algorithms considering the distance or travel time. Furthermore other topics included are travel
demand management and public transportation systems. This course has a laboratory component which uses Urban
Transportation Planning software (EMME) and students are expected to develop an urban transport plan as their
final project.
Pre-requisite: CIVTREN
