also shall also include side cut sections by widening or ROW.
b. Auger boring and/or test pits, whichever is deemed appropriate, shall be carried out at the
centerline (in the vase of new alignment) and alternately at both sides (for existing and paved roads
at an interval of 250.0 m where traffic is greater than 300 vehicles per day or at 500.0 m where
traffic is less. The maximum depth of exploration for areas of light cut/fill, and deemed not to pose
special problems, shall be 1.50 m below the purposed sub-grade. For sections where deep cuts are
involved, e.g. large embankment crossing marshland or when subsurface information indicates

samples taken:
d. In-situ CBR tests should be carried out where overlays or rehabilitation is being proposed without
reworking/re-compaction of any remaining pavement layers including the sub-grade layer. On the
other hand, proposal for appropriate modulus of resilience (Mr) testing plans complementing or
replacing the CBR testing is preferable and would be an advantage.
e. Conduct soil borings and investigations in accordance with DGCS, 2015 Edition, Volume 2C –
Geological and Geotechnical Investigations at appropriate areas such as bridge abutments, piers,
and areas affected by slope failures to determine ground and subsurface conditions at bridge sites

3. TRAFFIC SURVEY
3.1. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to determine the different types of vehicles and the traffic volume that
crosses the existing Bridge, determine passenger car equivalent units, check the existing traffic capacity,
evaluate its present level of service (LOS) and recommend appropriate technical measures to increase
its capacity and enhance its future level of service (LOS).
3.2. METHODOLOGY
The traffic study methodology adopted in this report was based on two different methodologies: One is
the manual traffic classification count of all vehicles passing the existing bridge which is being conducted
for two days over 12 hour period. The traffic count survey results are being expanded to 24 hour data
using DPWH standard expansion factors gleaned from previous traffic counts, studies and from the
results of the National Road Traffic Survey Program (NRTSP). The expanded 24 hour data is called the
average daily traffic (ADT) volume. The ADT is further converted into annual average daily traffic (AADT)
using the AADT factors from the NTRSP data. The AADT is now used in the traffic analysis of the bridge
under study. This type of analysis or study is called project level analysis and is different from network
level study.
Second is if there is no bridge constructed yet, the study uses the traffic generation/attraction approach
which in the urban areas utilizes the four step modelling process. In the rural areas, a different approach
which was already used by DPWH in the assessment of non-existing roads and bridges which are
subjected to feasibility study. This approach was also being advocated by lending agencies like ADB, WB,
etc. The second approach can be made using the following steps:
All the above steps are being quantified and converted to different vehicle traffic levels using the same
vehicle types prevalent near the study area and can be checked from the NRTSP data.
Once the AADT by vehicle of the above bridge PIA, this is being converted to equivalent passenger car
units to proceed with the evaluation of the level of service of the bridge.
5

Bidding Documents, Terms of Reference, Approved Budget for the Contract and Program of Works for BCRP I & II Build Bridges
The peak hour volume is first determined by multiplying the AADT with the peak hour factor
(PHF). The PHF values ranges from 7% to 11% based on the results of the DPWH study in the
past. The PHF used in this study is 9%.
a. Bridge capacity
Bridge capacity is being influenced by its width and number of lanes. The bridge capacity in this
study was based on the Department Order No. 22, series of 2013.
b. Volume/capacity ratio
After the peak traffic volume and capacity of the bridge are determined, the volume/capacity
ratio is being calculated as follows:
c. Level of Service
The level of service was based on the v/c ratio result which is having the following range of
values:
LOS A: free flowing traffic, VCR less than 0.20;
LOS B: relatively free flowing traffic, VCR between 0.21 and 0.50;
LOS C: moderate traffic, VCR between 0.51 and 0.70;
LOS D: moderate/heavy traffic, VCR between 0.71 and 0.85;
LOS E: Heavy traffic, VCR between 0.86 and 1.00; and
LOS F: Saturation traffic volumes, stop and go situations.

4. HYDRODOLOGY
Hydrology is defined as the study of rainfall events and runoff as related to the engineering design of
conveyance structures such as bridges, culverts and waterways. These conveyance structures are
typically designed for a particular storm event or storm frequency and associated with a certain amount
of risk with respect to failure. The proportion of rainfall that eventually becomes stream flow is
dependent on the size of the drainage area, topography and soil characteristics.
Hydrological studies were carried out during preliminary design study stage however the computed data
shall be subject to change during detailed design stage of the project. The highway network in the
project areas crosses number of rivers/tributaries/ stream with small, medium or large catchment areas
and therefore for design of bridges and other drainage structures, hydrological parameters of these
structures are essentially required. It is an admitted fact that generally in most of the cases, the river
network does not have sufficient hydrological & meteorological records and most of the structure sites
are ungauged. The determination of waterway, design flood at desired frequency for such structures are
generally required at every site. The proposed drainage structures are designed based on a specific
return period for fixing the water-way vis-à-vis the design highest flood level (DHWL) and protection
works depending upon their life and importance to ensure safety as well as economy.

water. The mean slope is determined based on the formula developed by US Geological Survey and
referred to as average watershed slope.
Mean Slope,

𝑆=

Where:
Y = flood event of specified probability
Ym = mean of the series of flood event
Ys = standard deviation of the series of event
K = frequency factor defined by the given distribution and is a
function of probability level
Several cumulative frequency distributions are commonly used in the analysis of hydrologic data.
The frequency distributions that have been found most useful in hydrologic data analysis are the
log-normal distribution, the Gumbel extreme value distribution, Pearson type III and the log-Pearson
type III distribution. This study makes use of the Gumbel extreme value distribution for the rainfall
and stream flow analyses.

(t d)b
Where:
I = rainfall intensity, mm/hr.
t = storm duration, min.
A, b, d = constants depending on the frequency of occurrence
and usually are derived by analytical method.
Methods i and ii are based on correlation of the important factors affecting floods, including
watershed rainfall and physiographic parameters
a. Rational method for calculation of design peak flow
The Rational method is the most common method for peak flow calculation especially for rural
or forested catchment areas less than 20 sq. kilometers. It consists of selecting appropriate
values of runoff coefficient. The fundamental idea behind this method is that the peak rate of
surface outflow from a given watershed is proportional to the drainage area and the average
rainfall intensity over a period of time just sufficient for all part of the watershed to contribute
9

Bidding Documents, Terms of Reference, Approved Budget for the Contract and Program of Works for BCRP I & II Build Bridges
to the outflow. The proportionality constant is supposed to reflect the watershed characteristics,
such as imperviousness, geology, vegetation and antecedent moisture. In its simplest form, the
formula is expressed as;
Q = 0.278 CIA
Where:
Q = discharge, cu. m./sec.
C = runoff coefficient, dimensionless
I = rainfall intensity, mm./hr.
A = drainage area, sq. km.
Where:
Pa = areal rainfall depth
P = point rainfall
tr = duration, hrs.
A = drainage area, sq.km
- Runoff Coefficient
The runoff coefficient, C is defined as the ratio of the peak runoff rate to the rainfall intensity. It
is one of the critical and difficult decisions to make in order to efficiently applied the rational
formula. This selection depends on many parameters such as topography, land use, infiltration
rates and watershed configuration.
A simple guideline for the determination of the discharge coefficient C in the formula is
presented below:
Table 4.1 Run-off Coefficient
Land Use Minimum Maximum
Residential Area-Densely built 0.50 0.75
Residential Area-Not densely built 0.30 0.55
City Business District 0.70 0.95
Light Industrial Areas 0.50 0.80
Heavy Industrial Areas 0.60 0.90
Parks, Playground, Cemeteries, unpaved open
0.20 0.30
lllll spaces and vacant lots

The value of C is generally most applicable to antecedent moisture conditions that exist for
frequent storms, in the range of the 2 to 100-yr return period (recurrence interval). For more
severe and less frequent storms where the antecedent moisture conditions are often wetter,
the rational coefficient is increased by multiplying it by a frequency factor.
b. Synthetic unit hydrographs method
For drainage areas more than 20 sq. km, unit hydrographs are commonly used to study flood
runoff and this method was applied due to the reason that other drainage areas in this project
alignment are more than 20 sq. km. A unit hydrograph is defined as the hydrograph generated
by one unit of rainfall excess uniformly distributed over the watershed contributing to the point
of unit hydrograph determination. Generally, however, basic actual stream flow data are not
available in the project site where structures are proposed to allow construction of unit
hydrograph. When such data are lacking or insufficient, synthetic method is used. Watershed
parameters such as stream length, basin area, stream gradient including soil type and cover are
determined and the corresponding unit hydrographs are derived. The method used in
generating the ordinates of the unit hydrographs is a combination of Snyder’s approach and that
of the Soil Conversation Service (SCS). Time to peak, storm duration, and unit graph peak
discharge are computed based on Snyder’s formula. The synthetic unit hydrograph values were
estimated by multiplying the unit hydrograph peak time and peak discharge with the
coordinates of the SCS dimensionless hydrograph.
Rainfall depth corresponding to a given return period and interval equal to rainfall duration
were computed based on derived rainfall values. Increments were computed and rearranged to
produce maximum runoff. Natural losses due to infiltration and minor surface storage were
deducted from each increment to arrive at the net contributing rainfall.
The flood hydrograph for the specified return period was derived by convolution or
superimposition of the net storm rainfall and discharge ordinates of the unit hydrograph for the
various watersheds.
c. Unit hydrograph by using SCS method
There are many methods for unit hydrograph analysis and one of them is the U.S. Soil
Conservation Services (SCS) method, again this method was applied due to other drainage areas
are more than 20 sq. km. The calculation for the peak floods of rivers or streams with
catchments areas more than 20sq. km.(2,000 hectares).
SCS Unit Hydrograph (UH), by the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), presently called the Natural
Resources Conservation Service, (NRCS) is used. It is recommended because of
1) Easy in determining the shape of the unit hydrograph and;
11
Feasibility Study and Preliminary Engineering Design for Bridge Construction Replacement Program BCRP II and to Prepare
Bidding Documents, Terms of Reference, Approved Budget for the Contract and Program of Works for BCRP I & II Build Bridges
2) It is widely used in many countries. The SCS UH log should be estimated by calibration as
described in Hydrologic Modeling System, HEC-HMS Technical Reference Manual, by US Army
Corps of Engineers. Log can be estimated for gauged and ungauged river basins.
A hydrograph is a continuous representation of instantaneous rainfall against time. The
combination of physiographic and meteorology conditions integrated with effects of climate,
losses, surface runoff, interflow and groundwater flow in a river basin or catchment area results
in a hydrograph.
The SCS dimensionless hydrograph is a synthetic UH in which the discharge is expressed by the
ratio of discharge (Ur) to peak discharge (Up) and the time by the ratio of time t to the time of
peak of UH, Tp. Based on study of gauged rainfall and runoff for a large number of small rural
watersheds, Up and Tp can be determined from time of concentration of the basin (or sub-basin)
and from Up and Tp, the unit hydrograph for the basin (or the sub-basin) can be obtained.
These increments will be corrected for interception, evaporation, depression storage and
infiltration losses using the U.S. SCS procedures. The results of this analysis give the effective
rainfall values to be used in the computation of the flood hydrograph. For relatively small size
watersheds along the project roads, adjustment factors for area and duration may not be
applied to the rainfall data furnished by PAGASA, i.e. point rainfall is assumed equal to area
rainfall.
In the absence of specific base flow data for each river or stream, mean monthly flows (from
July to October which are generally the wet months in the country) from stream gages in the
vicinity of the project bridges may be considered for analysis. The ratio of base flow to peak run-
off (as suggested by Te Chow in “Applied Hydrology”) is 0.01 at the start of the storm while the
maximum possible ratio is 0.10. The initial discharge per area used 0.05 m3/s/km2 if there are
no base flow data available. Since there’s no stream flow data, we use the 10% of the peak flow
suggested by Ven Te Chow.
For each bridge site the roughness coefficient n-value should be investigated in the field by
using Manning’s n-values for various type of bed materials/conditions. The n-values of all bridge
sites along each project road may be averaged and applied in the design of drainage structures.
The unit hydrograph cannot be applied for basins larger than 5000 sq. km. For basins larger than
5000 sq. km, unit hydrographs for the principal sub-areas or sub-basins are developed and the
hydrographs of runoff determined for each sub-area. These hydrographs are then combined,
through flood routing procedure, to get the resulting hydrograph at the required section.
The final step in the SCS Method is the computation of the flood hydrograph. This requires the
application of the convolution or superposition methods in order to determine peak discharges.
The method involves computing “Lg” (time to peak runoff) by the modified SCS-UH Formula are
given in two ways equation.
The parameter Lg could be related to the time of concentration (Tc) given by the following:
Tlag= 0.6 x Tc
Where:
𝐿1.15
Tlag= lag time from midpoint of unit duration in hours Tc= 0.385
51𝐻
Where:
Tc = is defined as the time required for storm runoff to travel from the most
remote point of the drainage basin to the point of interest in minutes.

The minimum Tc for moderate slopes and paved is 10minutes, for areas which do not afford surface
storage and are steeper than 1:10 is 5 minutes.
Where:
T lag = lag time from midpoint of unit duration in hours change to minutes
L = distance along longest water course from point of interest to watershed divide,

The cross drainage structure will be either pipe culvert or box culvert. The structure will be based on
the estimated 15-yr peak flow for pipe culvert and 25-year for box culvert. The 25-yr discharge for
pipe culvert and 50-year discharge for box culvert will serve as countercheck.
Flood conveyance using box culverts will be based on a maximum HW/D ratio of 0.8. For sizing pipe
culvert structures, a minimum culvert size of 910 mm is recommended, even when peak flows could
be accommodated with smaller diameter culverts, to decrease the impacts of debris clogging.
4.2.2. Open channel hydraulics
An important factor in flood analysis is to estimate characteristics of the flow during flood times. In
order to do this, cross-sections of waterways are identified and representative cross sections of the
river channel are obtained by actual field survey. Mean bed slope of the stream is obtained from
actual survey of the waterway cross sections. For a river or waterway where conventional stream
gauging data are not available, the average velocity for a given stage-height can be estimated using
the Manning’s formula. The Manning’s formula is essentially an empirical formula, based 0n field
observations and laboratory measurements. This formula states that in steady uniform flow,
V = R2/3 S1/2/n
Q = A R2/3 S1/2/n
Where:
In reality, the value of n is highly variable and depends on a number of factors. The factors that exert
the greatest influence upon the coefficient of roughness include the surface condition, vegetation,
channel irregularity, variation of channel cross-sections and obstruction. Typical n values that can be
used in the project design are given below.

4.2.3. Bridge
A bridge may be defined as a drainage structure that has a span of more than 6 meters and usually
rest on separate abutments. In practice, bridges are located to conform with the general location of
the highway, which has been previously determined. The ideal location for a bridge crossing is
generally made at right angles to the centerline of the waterway at the narrowest point, where the
alignment of the approach pavement is straight, where the approach grade is slight and where soil
conditions are adequate for the installation of the most economical foundation of the span involved.
The design of bridge over a waterway requires assessment of the characteristics of the waterway
flowing beneath. For this, it is necessary to understand the factors that govern stream runoff, water
surface levels, scour and channel stability and hydrodynamic forces acting on the bridge.
In general, the presence of a bridge in many locations cause the natural stream channel to be
somewhat constricted. Such case may reduce severely the area through which the water must pass,
particularly when the stream is at flood stage. In such event, the velocity of the water through the
bridge opening may be considerably increased, with resultant danger to the bridge structure
through scour at abutments and piers, and the elevation of the water upstream side may be
increased subjecting the area above the bridge site to possible flooding. It is therefore axiomatic
that the bridge must be designed to pass the flow occurring at flood stage without excessive velocity
and without damage to property located above the bridge crossing.
The upper end of the C value is used for shifting channels in sandy materials, but for relatively stable
channels in more scour-resistant materials the lower end may be used. Further adjustment of the
river channel width should be made on economic grounds after consideration of topography, scour
and other factors.
The waterway opening of a bridge across a stream is generally set preferably equal to the width of
the river banks or more depending on the topography and land use of both access points. Generally
bridges are designed with soffit level normally between freeboard of 1.00 meter and 1.50 meter
above the design flood level to allow floating debris to pass unhindered.
4.2.4. Bridge flood level
For bridges, the design flood level of 50year return period is estimated using the HEC – RAS program
and slope area method. The upstream and downstream river cross sections including cross section
at bridge site were used to derived the deign flood elevation and discharge elevation relationship.
Mean bed slope of the stream was obtained from the longitudinal profile from bridge site to the
headwaters obtained from the topographic map (scale 1:50,000) using the mean slope method.
Manning’s roughness coefficient, n was determined based on channel bed and bank characteristics.

Existing artificial features such as lined canal, RCPC, RCBC, house and other road prominent details from
road junctions and crossings are gathered to complete survey data to generate contours based on selected
survey points such as ground, edge of road and river, centerline of road and water, river bank and other
significant points and plotted at 1.00 meter and 5.00 meter background following the adopted standards for
surveys and mapping.
In addition, details of natural and artificial features (i.e ripraps, houses, drainage, utilities, water level, river
flow, bridge, spillway and other similar structures) are also identified and collected as reference for
generating an accurate survey output for bridge and road design.
5.1. OBJECTIVE
The Objective of the works is to prepare all relevant survey data.
Specifically:
• To gather survey data about the natural and man-made features of the land, as well as its
elevations and to prepare topographic maps, cross- section and profile plots for the project
areas.
• To conduct quality hydrographic and topographic survey in accordance to the accuracy and
precision standards designed for the project.
The Horizontal control network in the project road is tied to an existing national
triangulation network established by the NAMRIA, which is integrated to the Philippine
Traverse Mercator (PTM) System. The GPS stations is established near the bridge (for each
bridge site) project along the acceptable bridge site locations. It is marked with a concrete
monument with dimensions 40cm x 40cm x 100cm and a 10mm diameter of 100cm long
steel bar embedded at the center of the monument.
• Primary Traverse
Primary traverse established a series of stations that are linked together by angles and
distances. The GPS station tied in the project site for the primary traverse station and is
established using a concrete monument.

• Benchmarks (BMs)
Two (2) BMs were established at locations that cannot be disturbed during construction
near the 1st and 2nd bridge approaches, respectively, marked by a concrete monument
measuring 30cm x 30cm x 100cm with 10mm diameter, 100cm long steel bar embedded at
the center of the monument.
• Line of levels begin and end on previously established first order benchmark. Two
benchmarks have not changed their relative elevations, thus recovered at each end of the
line and any intermediate function of the line with previous leveling.
• Cross-Section Survey
Cross sectioning across the river is extended from fifty (50) meters to five hundred (500)
meters beyond the riverbanks and conducted at intervals of (20) meters on sharp bends and
fifty (50) meters on straight sections, all are taken facing downstream to check the actual
riverbed/channel configuration of the existing river. The maximum and ordinary water levels
were also recorded.
The longitudinal profile of the river at five hundred (500) meters upstream and downstream
of the bridge indicating the lowest riverbed, profile of the right and left riverbanks with
elevations (m) all throughout the required length of the stream specified. Profile along the
centerline of each channel for multi-channel streams or rivers were also taken.
• Preliminary hydrological and bridge hydraulic investigations and analyses of data in the
areas traversed, including design discharge, Q50, velocity of flow and the levels of the
maximum experienced and design floods. Recommendations and design criteria was
provided such as: size and location of appropriate culverts and bridges and to allow
adequate drainage, flood protection against erosion and scour forces for bridge approaches
and foundations.

6.1.1. OAIG DAYA BRIDGE
Location Map:
The watershed area comprises the provinces of Ilocos Sur which composes of river, hills,
valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains ranges can be
found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area (drainage area
map included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other peak
elevations, namely Caraballo and Cordillera Mountain Ranges in the south of the river.
There is also a mountain known as Mt. Kanabuy and Mt. Santa Clara. The northern part of
the watershed has a wider flat land, while the southern part of the watershed has
mountainous and forested area. Most of the plains are cultivated fields, with some
remaining forest areas. There are several waterways on river flowing towards Magat River
where the bridge project is located. In some instances, due to flat terrain, traversed by
waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the flow to assume a different
geographic orientation. There are grassed cover rather than forested areas observed
along the route. It has many types of soil ranging from clay loam to sand. There is also
abundance of boulders, gravels and sand along the river routes, that laced mostly flat
landscape with their meandering patterns.

The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this site is the
West Ilocos Fault System. This fault is situated at an approximate distance of 10.50 km east
from the project site. Hence, considerations should be made in designing the structure to
resist against earthquake. As a conservative approach, the design ground acceleration can
be based from this fault. The highest ground acceleration value shall be adopted for

this site. The National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP, 1997) Code prescribes a
minimum value of 0.40 g for bridges located in the seismic zone 4. For design purposes, the
Designer can decide on which value to adopt for this project. This site falls in the Seismic
Zone 4, having Z = 0.4.
Project Site
f. Liquefaction Potential
Loose granular materials were encountered at this site within the upper zone. In theory,
these types of soils are susceptible to liquefaction, hence this should be addressed. It is
predicted that the risk of liquefaction for this particular site is low. If thorough information is
required, liquefaction analysis is recommended. However, it should be borne in mind that
historically speaking, no liquefaction has occurred in this site.
g. Recommended Foundation
From the results of field and laboratory tests of samples from this bridge site revealed weak
foundation profile in the upper zone. In this case, deep foundation design scheme is feasible
in order to transmit the load to more competent bearing layer located well below the
ground surface. Results from the analysis of four (4) borehole data obtained from this site,
the following item provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for foundation analysis
and design.

Traffic flow over Urdas Bridge is composed of light to medium traffic with motorcycle has
the highest share at 51%, followed by motorized tricycle at 28%, cars/taxis/multicab/suv
at 9%, passenger jeepneys at 5%, pedicab at 4%, delivery vans at 2% and the rest at less
than 2%
DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Ilocos Sur in 2011 which
ranges from 2.1 percent to 2.6 percent. However, the traffic growth rates in 2011 are no
longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are somewhat lesser compared to
what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot up to about 23 percent in
2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in the Philippines, Inc.
(CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high percentage of 19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, in-come,
employment and population growth. However, this was not used in this study due to lack
of updated data that can be applied to the formula. In-stead, the traffic growth rates were
assumed at 3.5 percent for passenger vehicles and 4.5 percent for goods vehicles. These
are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the economic activity within the direct
influence area of the Urdas Bridge.

General land surface features that characterize in the province of Ilocos Sur compose of
river, hills, valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains
ranges can be found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area

Most of the plains are cultivated fields and urbanized, with some remaining forest
reserves. There are several waterways on river flowing towards Narvacan River where the
bridge project is located which is nearby the coastline of Narvacan town. The riverbank is
abundantly vegetated by mangrove trees. In some instances, due to flat terrain, traversed
by waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the flow to assume a different
geographic orientation. There are clear water cover rather than grass areas observed
along the route. Extensive deposits of silty sand material are noticeable along the river
near the bridge site. There is also abundance of gravels and sand along the river routes
that laced mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns.

Traffic flow over San Antonio Bridge is composed mostly of light to medium traffic with
motorcycle has the highest share at 32.27%, followed by motor-ized tricycle at 27.27%,
passenger jeepneys at 13.39%, car/taxi/multicab/suv at 11.66%, small truck/delivery vans
and mini-bus at 6% each and the rest at less than 2%.
DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Ilocos Sur in 2011 which
ranges from 2.1 percent to 2.6 percent. However, the traffic growth rates in 2011 are no
longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are somewhat lesser compared to
what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot up to about 23 percent in
2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in the Philippines, Inc.
(CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high percentage of 19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, in-come,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. Instead, the traffic
growth rates were assumed at 3.5 percent for passenger vehicles and 4.5 percent for
goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the economic
activity within the direct influence area of the San Antonio I Bridge.

e. Seismic Design Considerations
The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this
site is the San Manuel Fault. This fault is situated at an approximate distance
of 18.90 km northeast from the project site. Hence, considerations should be
made in designing the structure to resist against earthquake. As a conservative
approach, the design ground acceleration can be based from this fault. The
highest ground acceleration value shall be adopted for this site. The
National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP, 1997) Code prescribes a
minimum value of 0.40 g for bridges located in the seismic zone 4. For design
purposes, the Designer can decide on which value to adopt for this project.
This site falls in the Seismic Zone 4, having Z = 0.4.

f. Liquefaction Potential
Medium dense granular materials were rarely encountered at this site within the upper
zone. It is predicted that the risk of liquefaction for this particular site is not likely. If
thorough information is required, liquefaction analysis is recommended. However, it should
be borne in mind that historically speaking, no liquefaction has occurred in this site.
g. Recommended Foundation
From the results of field and laboratory tests of samples from this bridge site revealed
moderate foundation profile in the upper zone. Both shallow and deep foundation design
schemes are feasible for this area. Deep foundation system on piers is necessary in order to
transmit the load to more competent bearing layer located well below the ground surface.
Results from the analysis of five (5) borehole data obtained from this site, the following item
provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for foundation analysis and design.

6.2. REGION II
6.2.1. MADDIANGAT BRIDGE
Location Map:
The watershed area comprise the provinces of Benguet,Nueva Viscaya, and Isabela which
composes of river, hills, valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher
mountains ranges can be found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the
catchment area (drainage area map included in this report). Those mountain ranges
converge on some other peak elevations, namely Caraballo and Cordillera Mountain Ranges
in the south of the river. There is also a mountain known as Mt. Kanabuy and Mt. Santa
Clara. Both the main river (Magat River) which is connected to Santa Fe River each has their
tributaries. The northern part of the watershed has a wider flat land, while the southern
part of the watershed has mountainous and forested area. Most of the plains are cultivated
fields, with some remaining forest areas. There are several waterways on river flowing
towards Magat River where the bridge project is located. In some instances, due to flat
terrain, traversed by waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the flow to
assume a different geographic orientation. There are grassed cover rather than forested
areas observed along the route. It has many types of soil ranging from clay loam to sand.
There is also abundance of boulders, gravels and sand along the river routes, that laced
mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns.

Dense to very dense granular materials were encountered at this site throughout it depth. It
is predicted that the risk of liquefaction for this particular site is not likely. If thorough

in mind that historically speaking, no liquefaction has occurred in this site.
g. Recommended Foundation
From the results of field and laboratory tests of samples from this bridge site revealed
presence of granular materials in the upper zone is capping the andesite bedrock. The type
of foundation that can be adopted for this site should suit the condition where the structure
will be subjected. In principles, a shallow foundation can be appropriate for this site,
however there are factors that need to be addressed to minimize maintenance and
replacement costs. Scouring on substructure is the most crucial aspect that should be taken

Traffic flow over Maddiangat Bridge has a high percentage of motorized tricycles at 38.64%
and motorcycles at 24.66% followed by cars at 18.84%, Passenger jeepneys at 10.55%,
Small trucks/delivery van at 4.2% and the rest are at less than one percent.
DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Pangasinan in 2011 which
ranges from 2.1 percent to 2.6 percent. However, the traffic growth rates in 2011 are no
longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are somewhat lesser compared to
what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot up to about 23 percent in

The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, income,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. In-stead, the traffic
growth rates were assumed at 3.0 percent for passenger vehicles and 4.0 percent for
goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates consid-ering the economic
activity within the direct influence area of the San Antonio I Bridge.

d. Settlement
The settlement is not likely to exceed 25 mm provided the given soil bearing
capacity is not exceeded.
e. Seismic Design Considerations
The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this
site is situated at an approximate distance of less than 1.0 km west from the
project site. Hence, considerations should be made in designing the structure
to resist against earthquake. As a conservative approach, the design ground
acceleration can be based from this fault. The highest ground acceleration
value shall be adopted for this site. The National Structural Code of the
Philippines (NSCP, 1997) Code prescribes a minimum value of 0.40 g for

Pampanga River, is the second largest river on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, next to
Cagayan River, and the country's fourth longest river. It is located in the Central Luzon
region and traverses the provinces of Pampanga, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija. Its headwaters
are located at the Sierra Madre and runs a south and southwesterly course for about 260
kilometers until it drains into Manila Bay. The river's basin covers an area of 10,540 km²,
including the allied basin of Guagua River. The basin is drained through the Pampanga River
and via the Labangan Channel into the Manila Bay. Its main tributaries are Peñaranda and
the Coronel-Santor Rivers on the eastern side of the basin and the Rio Chico River from the
northwest side. The Angat River joins the Pampanga River at Calumpit, Bulacan via the
Bagbag River. Mount Arayat (elevation: 1,026) stands in the middle of the basin. Southeast
of Mount Arayat and the Pampanga River is the Candaba Swamp, covering an area of some
250 km². absorbing most of the flood flows from the western slopes of a portion of the
Sierra Madre and the overflowing of the Pampanga River via the Cabiao Floodway. This area
is submerged during the rainy season but is relatively dry during summer.

The bridge site crosses a waterway which is connected to irrigation aside the Palico River.
The watershed is just a small part a flat terrain and most of the plains are agricultural fields
with some remaining forest reserves. Although the catchment area is relatively small, there
is a continuous flow of water that contributes to the irrigation of the rice fields. There is also
abundance of boulders, gravels & sand, and vegetation along the river routes that laced
mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns. Bridge site has vegetated river and
forested along the river. It has many types of soil ranging from clay loam to sandy loam.

d. Settlement
The settlement is not likely to exceed 25 mm provided the given soil bearing
capacity is not exceeded.
The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this site is situated
at an approximate distance of 32.70 km southwest from the project site. Hence,
considerations should be made in designing the structure to resist against earthquake.
As a conservative approach, the design ground acceleration can be based from this fault.
The highest ground acceleration value shall be adopted for this site. The National Structural
Code of the Philippines (NSCP, 1997) Code prescribes a minimum value of 0.40 g for bridges
located in the seismic zone 4. For design purposes, the Designer can decide on which value
to adopt for this project. This site falls in the Seismic Zone 4, having Z = 0.4.

f. Liquefaction Potential
Dense granular materials were encountered at this site within the upper zone. In theory,
these types of soils are not susceptible to liquefaction. It is predicted that the risk of
liquefaction for this particular site is remote. If thorough information is required,
liquefaction analysis is recommended. However, it should be borne in mind that historically
speaking, no liquefaction has occurred in this site.
g. Recommended Foundation
From the results of field and laboratory tests of samples from this bridge site revealed
relatively stable foundation profile in this area. In this case, shallow foundation system is
feasible for this bridge site, provided that foundations are founded well below the scour
depth. The following item also provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for
comparative analysis and design. These values are presented for comparative analysis.

Traffic flow over Cacauan Bridge has a high percentage of motorized vehicles such as Cars
at 33.09%, motorcycles at 24.63%, motorized tricycles at 12.10%, passenger jeepneys at
9.79%, , small delivery trucks at 7.95%, Big buses at 5.16% and the rest including non-
motorized vehicles at less than 3%.
DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Nueva Viscaya in 2011 which
ranges from 1.851 percent to 2.334 percent. However, the traffic growth rates in 2011 are
no longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are somewhat lesser compared to
what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot up to about 23 percent in
2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in the Philippines, Inc.
(CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high percentage of 19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, in-come,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. Instead, the traffic
growth rates were assumed at 3.5 percent for passenger vehicles and 4.0 percent for
goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the present
economic activity within the direct influence area of the bridge.

The watershed area comprises the provinces of Puerto Princesa which composes of river,
hills, valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains ranges can
be found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area (drainage area
map included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other peak
elevations, namely Anepahan Peak in the eastern part of the catchment area. The northern
part of the watershed has a wider flat land, while the southern part of the watershed has
mountainous and forested area. Most of the plains are cultivated fields, with some
remaining forest areas. In some instances, due to flat terrain, traversed by waterway or
rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the flow to assume a different geographic
orientation. There are grassed cover rather than forested areas observed along the route. It
has many types of soil ranging from clay loam to sand. There is also abundance of boulders,
gravels and sand along the river routes, that laced mostly flat landscape with their

6.5.2.ILIWAN BRIDGE
Location Map:
General land surface features that characterize in the province of Puerto Princesa compose
of river, hills, valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains
ranges can be found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area
(drainage area map included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other
peak elevations, namely Anepahan Peak in the eastern part of the catchment area. The main
river (Iliwan River) has its own tributaries. The eastern part of the watershed has
mountainous and forested area while the downstream area has relatively flat terrain. Most
of the plains are cultivated fields, with some remaining forest reserves. There are several
waterways on river flowing towards Iliwan River where the bridge project is located which is
nearby the coastline of Iliwan town. The riverbank is abundantly vegetated by trees. In some
instances, due to flat terrain, traversed by waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering
nature of the flow to assume a different geographic orientation. There are clear water cover
rather than grass areas observed along the route. Extensive deposits of silty sand material
are noticeable along the river near the bridge site. There is also abundance of gravels and
sand along the river routes that laced mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns.

6.5.3.TAGALIPIT BRIDGE
Location Map:
In the upper reaches of the Tagalipit River, some channelization and terracing is starting to
occur, where the river at elevation 450m with a slope of 0.0615. The higher mountains
ranges can be found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area
(drainage area map included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other
peak elevations, namely Anepahan Peak. Most of the plains are agricultural fields with some
remaining forest reserves. Constricted river were observe upstream and it widens as it flows
down on flat surface downstream. Vegetated and forested mountain upstream contributes
to the irrigation of corn fields downstream. Bridge site has vegetated river and forested
along the river. Extensive deposits of sandy soil are noticeable along the river at flat terrain
and abundance of boulders and gravels upstream. Meandering pattern of river were
observed.
Traffic flow over Tagalipit Bridge has a low daily traffic flows with motorcy-cles among the
highest at 68.91%, followed by passenger jeepneys at 14.13%, then by small
trucks/delivery vans at 7.67%, cars at 5.11%, rigid 2-axle trucks at 3.77%, and the mini bus
at less than 1%.
DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Palawan in 2011 which ranges
from 2.793 percent to 3.149 percent (source: 2011 DPWH Atlas). However, the traffic
118
Feasibility Study and Preliminary Engineering Design for Bridge Construction Replacement Program BCRP II and to Prepare
Bidding Documents, Terms of Reference, Approved Budget for the Contract and Program of Works for BCRP I & II Build Bridges
growth rates in 2011 are no longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are
somewhat lesser compared to what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot
up to about 23 percent in 2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in
the Philip-pines, Inc. (CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high percentage of
19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, in-come,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. Instead, the traffic
growth rates were assumed at 4.5 percent for pas-senger vehicles and 4.0 percent for
goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the present
economic activity within the di-rect influence area of the bridge.

6.6.2.PAGATPATAN-COGUIT BRIDGE
Location Map:
General land surface features that characterize in the province of Camarines Sur compose of
river, hills, valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains
ranges can be found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area
(drainage area map included in this report).. The main river (Pagatpatan River) has its own
tributaries. The upstream part of the watershed has mountainous and forested area while
the downstream area has relatively flat terrain. Most of the plains are cultivated fields, with
some remaining forest reserves. There are several waterways on river flowing towards
Pagatpatan River where the bridge project is located which is nearby the coastline of Coguit
Point. The riverbank is abundantly vegetated by trees. In some instances, due to flat terrain,
traversed by waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the flow to assume a
different geographic orientation. There are clear water cover rather than grass areas
observed along the route. Extensive deposits of silty sand material are noticeable along the
river near the bridge site. There is also abundance of gravels and sand along the river routes
that laced mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns.

Traffic flow over Pagatpatan-Coguit Bridge is light mostly composed of light vehicles. The
highest traffic is motorcycles at 63.31% followed by motorized tricycles at 18.22, cars at
5.68%, passenger jeepneys at 2.27%, then by small delivery trucks/vans at 2.05%. Pedicab
or non-motorized mode of transport account for 8.47%.
DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Albay in 2011 which ranges
from 2.145 percent to 2.696 percent (source: 2011 DPWH At-las). However, the traffic
growth rates in 2011 are no longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are
somewhat lesser compared to what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot
up to about 23 percent in 2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in
the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high percentage of
19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, in-come,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. Instead, the traffic
growth rates were assumed at 4.0 percent for passenger vehicles and 4.0 percent for
goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the present
economic activity within the direct influence area of the bridge.

NAMRIA does not issue Certificate of BM Vertical Control since they have not completed
the mapping of all tidal observation in this area, hence, Global Positioning System (GPS)
reading was taken at BM 1 to be 6.84.
Direction and ordinary level (4.12) were based on gathered data while maximum flood
level (7.32) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further verified from

6.6.3.TABOC BRIDGE
Location Map:
The watershed area comprises the province of Sorsogon which composes of river, hills,
valley, wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains ranges can be
found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area (drainage area
map included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other peak
elevations, namely Mt. Bulusan in the upstream part of the catchment area. There is also a
mountain known as Mt.Jormajan. Both the main river (Cadacan River) which is connected to
Malacatan River each has their tributaries. The northern part of the watershed has a wider
flat land, while the southern part of the watershed has mountainous and forested area.
Most of the plains are cultivated fields, with some remaining forest areas. In some instances,
due to flat terrain, traversed by waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the
flow to assume a different geographic orientation. There is clear water with partially mud
cover rather than forested areas observed along the route. It has many types of soil ranging
from clay loam to sand. There is also abundance of boulders, gravels and sand along the
river routes, that laced mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns.

a. Subsurface Condition
d. Settlement
The settlement is not likely to exceed 35 mm provided the given soil bearing
capacity is not exceeded.
e. Seismic Design Considerations
The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this site is situated
at an approximate distance of 37.80 km west from the project site. Hence, considerations
should be made in designing the structure to resist against earthquake. As a conservative
approach, the design ground acceleration can be based from this fault. The highest ground
acceleration value shall be adopted for this site. The National Structural Code of the
Philippines (NSCP, 1997) Code prescribes a minimum value of 0.40 g for bridges located in
138
Feasibility Study and Preliminary Engineering Design for Bridge Construction Replacement Program BCRP II and to Prepare
Bidding Documents, Terms of Reference, Approved Budget for the Contract and Program of Works for BCRP I & II Build Bridges
the seismic zone 4. For design purposes, the Designer can decide on which value to adopt
for this project. This site falls in the Seismic Zone 4, having Z = 0.4.
f. Liquefaction Potential
Loose granular materials were encountered at this site within the upper zone. In theory,
these types of soils are susceptible to liquefaction, hence this should be addressed. It is
predicted that the risk of liquefaction for this particular site is low. If thorough information is
required, liquefaction analysis is recommended. However, it should be borne in mind that
historically speaking, no liquefaction has occurred in this site.
g. Recommended Foundation
From the results of field and laboratory tests of samples from this bridge site revealed weak
foundation profile in the upper zone. In this case, deep foundation design scheme is feasible
in order to transmit the load to more competent bearing layer located well below the
ground surface. Results from the analysis of four (4) borehole data obtained from this site,
the following item provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for foundation analysis
and design.

elevations, namely Mt. Mayon. Most of the plains are grass with some remaining forest
reserves. Constricted river were observed upstream and it widens as it flows down on flat
surface downstream. Vegetated and forested mountain upstream contributes to the
irrigation of corn fields downstream. Bridge site has vegetated and sandy river with slope
protection by revetment along its riverbanks both sides. Extensive deposits of sandy soil are
noticeable along the river at flat terrain and abundance of boulders and gravels upstream.
Meandering pattern of river were observed.

against earthquake. As a conservative approach, the design ground acceleration can be
based from this fault. The highest ground acceleration value shall be adopted for this
site. The National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP, 1997) Code prescribes a
minimum value of 0.40 g for bridges located in the seismic zone 4. For design purposes, the
Designer can decide on which value to adopt for this project. This site falls in the Seismic
Zone 4, having Z = 0.4.

f. Liquefaction Potential
Dense granular materials were encountered at this site within the upper zone. In theory,
these types of soils are not susceptible to liquefaction. It is predicted that the risk of
liquefaction for this particular site is remote. If thorough information is required,
liquefaction analysis is recommended. However, it should be borne in mind that historically
speaking, no liquefaction has occurred in this site.
g. Recommended Foundation
From the results of field and laboratory tests of samples from this bridge site revealed
relatively stable foundation profile in this area. In this case, shallow foundation system is
feasible for this bridge site, provided that foundations are founded well below the scour
depth. Alternatively, piled foundation can also be selected considering steel piles or H‐piles.
This pile type is well‐ suited for this site considering the presence of gravels, cobbles, and
boulders. A shallow foundation system can still be adopted at both abutments with
adequate rip‐rap protection.
The following item also provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for comparative
analysis and design. These values are presented for comparative analysis.

h. Riprap Protection
The footings and the abutments should be properly protected against the effect of scouring
by providing riprap around the perimeter of each abutment. A back drain system or weep
holes should also be provided in order to avoid the build‐up of water pressure. Footings
should be constructed by maintaining a minimum of 2 m setback from the face of the slope
to avoid lateral squeezing and attack of scouring. Both abutments must be placed to some
distance from the flood plain zone to avoid attack of water current. Scour analysis shall be
performed following data obtained from D50.
Traffic flow over San Antonio Bridge II is considered high with the following percentage of
motorized vehicles; motorcycles at 39.60%, motorized tricycles at 33.71%, cars at 13.60%,
small delivery trucks/vans at 5.89%, passenger jeepneys at 2.61%, 2-axle rigid truck at 1.02%
with the rest less than one percent, while pedicab or non-motorized mode of transport
account for 2.61%.

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Albay in 2011 which ranges
from 2.167 percent to 2.767 percent (source: 2011 DPWH Atlas). However, the traffic
growth rates in 2011 are no longer relevant to be used in this study as the values are
somewhat lesser compared to what is now happening all over the country. Car sales shoot
up to about 23 percent in 2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers in
the Philip-pines, Inc. (CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high percentage of
19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, income,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. Instead, the traffic

6.7.1.SONGSONGON BRIDGE
Location Map:
The watershed area comprises the province of Iloilo which composes of river, hills, valley,
wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains ranges can be found in
along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area (drainage area map
included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other peak elevations,
namely Mt. Upao in the northern part and Mt. Napulac at midway left of Bais River. There is
also a mountain known as Mt. Sansanan and Mt. Tigbayot at the wertern part and, Mt.
Tambora at the north east of the catchment area. Both the main river (Tanion River) which
is connected to Bais River each has their tributaries. The entire part of the watershed has
mountainous and forested area with some wide and flat plains. Most of the plains are
cultivated fields, with some remaining forest areas. There are several waterways on river
flowing towards Magat River where the bridge project is located. In some instances, due to
flat terrain, traversed by waterway or rivers, it causes the meandering nature of the flow to
assume a different geographic orientation. There are grassed cover rather than forested
areas observed along the route. It has many types of soil ranging from clay loam to sand.
There is also abundance of gravels and sand along the river routes, that laced mostly flat
landscape with their meandering patterns.

6.8.2.CALAG-CALAG BRIDGE
Location Map:
The watershed area comprises the province of Iloilo which composes of river, hills, valley,
wide plains and some small freshwater ponds. The higher mountains ranges can be found in
along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area (drainage area map
included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some other peak elevations.
The main river (Calag-calag River) has its own tributaries. The downstream part of the
watershed has a wider flat land, while the upstream part of the watershed has mountainous
and forested area. Most of the plains are cultivated fields, with some remaining forest areas.
Most of the plains are cultivated fields, with some remaining forest areas. There are several
waterways on river flowing towards Calag-calag River where the bridge project is located. In
some instances, due to flat terrain, traversed by waterway or rivers, it causes the
meandering nature of the flow to assume a different geographic orientation. There are
grassed cover rather than forested areas observed along the route. There is also abundance
of gravels and sand along the river routes that laced mostly flat landscape.

Traffic flow over Calagcalag Bridge II is considered medium flow with the following
percentage of motorized vehicles; motorcycles at 55.32%, motor-ized tricycles at 16.68%,
cars at 15.12%, passenger Jeepneys at 1.31, small delivery trucks/vans at 4.39%, mini bus

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Negros Oriental in 2011
which ranges from 2.144 percent to 2.613 percent (source: 2011 DPWH Atlas). However,
the traffic growth rates in 2011 are no longer rele-vant to be used in this study as the
values are somewhat lesser compared to what is now happening all over the country. Car
sales shoot up to about 23 percent in 2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive
Manufacturers in the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI), while goods vehicles also registered a high
percentage of 19.2 percent sales.
The DPWH traffic growth rate formula uses transport demand elasticity, in-come,
employment and population growth in the estimate. However, this was not used in this
study due to lack of updated data that can be applied to the formula. Instead, the traffic
growth rates were assumed at 3.5 percent for pas-senger vehicles and 4.0 percent for
goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the present
economic activity within the direct influence area of the bridge.

Of the twenty-five (25) bridges under Batch 1 (Luzon and Visayas), Cacauan Bridge (Region IV-A) and
Manukdok Bridge (Region IV-B) are a newly constructed bridges and therefore should be remove for further
investigation and design.
Of the twenty-five (25) bridges under Batch 1 (Luzon and Visayas), nine (9) bridges required widening due to
the reason that these bridges are already congested and has the volume exceeded the capacity limits set by
the DPWH. This bridges are as follows;
1) San Antonio Bridge 1
2) Villamil Brdige
3) Maddiangat Bridge
4) Kay Tiago Bridge
5) San Vicente Bridge
6) San Antonio Bridge 2
7) Himamaylan Bridge
8) Hinigiran Bridge
9) Malaiba 1 Brdige
Since bridges in the batch 1 are near fault line, a detailed seismic analysis of the proposed bridge site should
be conducted in order to come up with a site-specific earthquake design coefficient using the deterministic
approach by Fukushima and Tanaka and comparing its value with the estimated probabilistic values of
ground acceleration for medium and soft soils (Thenhauset.al.) .
It is recommended that further investigation shall be needed such as hydrologic and drainage design, social
and environmental assessment, geo-hazard risk assessment, economic and financial analysis before we
proceed on preliminary detailed design and/or construction for each bridges.
A detailed survey report for each investigation mentioned in this report shall be submitted separately for
further understanding.
