2. GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION

2.1. METHODS OF FIELD INVESTIGATION WORK


2.1.1.General
Geotechnical Investigations includes but not limited to the following, shall:

a. Undertake soil investigations along the project alignment with the purpose of identifying types of
sub-grade soils. This should not be confined to the centerline and edge of the pavements only, but
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
presence of weak strata, the depth shall be extended based on the topography and nature of the
subsoil.

c. All pits and boreholes shall be properly logged and drain an A1 size plans showing the thickness of

Classification of soils shall be made in accordance with AASHTO M145.

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 –

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:

a) Definition of the project influence area (PIA);


b) Determination of the population within the PIA;
c) Estimate of students who travels daily and studying outside the PIA;
d) Estimate workers who travels and studying outside the PIA;
e) Leisure and tourists areas inside the PIA;
f) Determination of the populations different levels of consumption of rice, corn, agricultural
products, poultry, livestock, etc.;
g) Quantification of the agricultural production less consumption and the exportable amount
outside the PIA;
h) Assessment of other modes of transport and volume transported where possible, i.e. water
transport, rail, etc.; and
i) Determination of different consumer goods imported to the PIA;

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.

3.3. VOLUME/CAPACITY RATIO


Using the above AADT evaluation procedures, the volume/capacity ratio of each bridge under Batch 1 is
being determined using the following steps:

a) Estimating the peak hour volume

5
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 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%.

Peak hour volume = AADT x PHF

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:

Peak traffic volume


v/c ratio = ----------------------------------
capacity

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

4.1. HYDROLOGIC ANALYSIS


The establishment of design flood elevations for bridges waterways along the project road alignments
are based on hydrological criteria which are predominantly estimates of flow and flood levels using HEC-
RAS, a U.S. software program. The method of flood frequency analysis is undertaken to quantify the
uncertainty inherent from hydrologic data. The objective of frequency analysis of hydrologic data is to
relate the magnitude of extreme events to their frequency of occurrence or recurrence interval. The
recurrence interval, which is also called return period, is defined as the average interval of time within
which a hydrologic event of given magnitude is expected to be equaled or exceeded exactly once. The
hydrologic data subject to frequency analysis are assumed to be independent and are gathered to
provide inputs for the design of drainage structures and flood mitigating structures in the project area.
The data are processed statistically analyzed and evaluated accordingly in order to come up with a
design flow parameters based on designated return periods. These shall serve as inputs for the
determination of flood level as well as the design of structures capable of withstanding the flow which
passes through a specific point or reach of the river that could be expected to cross the proposed
project alignment.

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.

4.1.1. CATCHMENT PARAMETERS


The size of the watershed or catchment basin is the most important parameter affecting the
determination of the design runoff. It is generally defined by the limits of the topographic drainage
divide line that separates water flow between each basin. The location of this divide line and other
parameters of the basin were defined by using NAMRIA topographic maps with the scale of 1:50,000
and with the used of Google earth image information such as areas, surface elevations, waterway
lengths, altitudes.
4.1.2. Slope
The main effect of slope on water flow is the time of concentration, or the time it takes rain drops to
the ground and flow, from the farthest and highest point in the watershed/basin area to the point
under consideration. Steep slopes cause a shorter time of concentration and, thus resulted to a
higher peak discharge while flatter slopes give longer lag time for water movement. The land use
information and the type of surface, where the rain falls upon have an obvious impact on the flow of

7
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

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

𝑆1 𝑎1 + 𝑆2 𝑎2 + 𝑆3 𝑎3 + ⋯
𝑆=
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎

4.1.3. Time of concentration


The time of concentration is a variable often used in computing surface runoff. The variable
indicates the response time at the outlet of a watershed for a rainfall event, and is primarily a
function of the geometry of the watershed. In flood hydrology, the time of concentration of a
watershed is normally considered as constant, independent of the magnitude of the flood. The time
of concentration is defined as the time required for a drop of water to flow to the watershed outlet
from the most distant point in the watershed. It is influenced by surface roughness, slope and flow
patterns.
The Kirpich formula was used in estimating the time of concentration for the watershed. The
formula is expressed as;
Tc = (L^1.15)/ (51 H^0.385) - Kirpich equation

Where: TC = time of concentration, min


L = length of main channel, m
H = difference in elevation, m

4.1.4. Frequency analysis


Frequency analysis is concerned with estimating the relationship between a flood event and its
corresponding return period of that flood event. It is generally based on assumed (recorded flood
events) probability distributions and estimates of the flood data parameters.
Chow (1951) has shown that most flood frequency distribution function can be generalized to this
expression and applied only where to waterways with recorded flood events.
Y=Ym+K*Ys

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.

4.1.5. Rainfall intensity – duration frequency


The total rainfall depth at a point, for a given rainfall duration and frequency is a function of the
local climate. Rainfall depths can be further processed and converted into rainfall intensities, which
are then presented as RIDF curves. Rainfall intensity is the rate at which rain falls, typically
expressed in millimeters per hour. In view of the probabilistic nature of weather, the intensity of
rainfall is presented in the context of its frequency and duration.
Rainfall intensity is estimated based on the calculated rainfall depth and duration. The relationship
between duration, intensity and frequency at any location may be obtained from an analysis of
rainfall records obtained at that location. The rainfall intensity-frequency-duration data are useful in
peak flow estimation of runoff.
The general equation for rainfall intensity derived for the project area is in the form:

A
I
(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.

4.1.6. Peak flow determination


Peak discharge is the maximum rate of flow that results from a storm corresponding to the selected
design frequency for a particular drainage location being analyzed or designed.
Peak flow estimates for various return periods were estimated in order to analyze flood conveyance
and assess the capacity of waterway. The estimation of the design flood for a particular project
would basically depend upon the following factors:

 type and extent of the data available


 project feature to be designed; and
 size of the catchment area
Depending upon the size of project catchment, availability of field data and other primary data of
the project area and the purpose for which it to be used, various methods are available for design
flood peak estimation. The common methods for the estimation of design flood to be expected from
the major and minor waterways traverse by the road alignment include the following:
i. Rational Formula
ii. Synthetic Unit Hydrographs

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
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

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.

The following assumptions are considered in the application of the formula.

 rainfall occurs at uniform intensity over the entire watershed


 rainfall intensity occurs uniformly for a duration at least equal to the time of concentration
of the watershed
 return period of the peak discharge is the same as that of the rainfall intensity.
During a rainfall event, rainfall depths vary across a catchment. To account for this variation of
rainfall across a catchment, an aerial reduction factor was derived and applied to rainfall depths
used for design flood estimates. The ratio of the aerial precipitation depth, Pa, to the
precipitation depth, P, at a point was formulated by Leclerc and Schake (1972) as a function of
storm duration and catchment area given as:
Pa = P [1-exp(-1.1 tr 0.25) + exp (-1.1 tr 0.25 – 0.0038 A)]

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

10
Feasibility Study and Preliminary Engineering Design for Bridge Construction Replacement Program BCRP II and to Prepare

Concrete or Asphalt Pavement 0.90 1.00


Gravel Surfaced Road and Shoulder 0.30 0.60
Rock Surface 0.70 0.90
Bare Clay Surface (faces of slips, etc.) 0.70 0.90
Forested Land (sandy to clay) 0.30 0.50
Flattish Cultivated Areas ) not flooded/ Farmland 0.30 0.50
Steep or Rolling Grassed Areas / Steep gullies
0.50 0.70
not heavily timbered
Flooded or Wet Paddies 0.70 0.80
* Source/Reference: DPWH DGCS 2015 Vol.3

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;

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.

L = length of mainstream up to farthest point of the divide in meter.


H = difference in elevation between most remote point and outlet in meter.
For Overland Flow on bare earth Tc should be adjusted:
 For overland flow on grassy earth, Tc should be multiplied by 2
 For concrete and asphalt surface, Tc should be multiplied by 0.4
 For watershed with a CN number less than 80 used Equation:

Tc = [Tc x (1+ (80-CN) x 0.04)]

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.

1. The parameter Lag could be related to CN number given by the following:

T lag = [(L/3.28)0.8 x (S + 1)0.7] / (1900 x (%So) 0.5 )

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,
ft.
S = (1000 / CN)-10
CN = curve number ref. to Table 4-6
Basin with different curve number “CN” Equation is expressed as follows:

CN = (CN1A1 +CN2A2 + ---) / (A1 + A2 + ---)

4.1.7. Design flood frequency


The minor storm events are perceived as typical small rain storms of very short duration and low
rainfall intensity which cause few problems or inconvenience to the general public. These storms
appear to occur with greater frequency (every year or several years) than the larger storms. The
major storm events are perceived as occurring infrequently and appear to cause major damage to
public property and possibly loss of life. Therefore, drainage facilities should be designed to
minimize public inconvenience for minor storm events and protect properties and lives for major
storm events.
The selection of design frequency in the planning and design of structures of facilities against floods
is governed by several standard criteria. The most common criteria include the following:

 Worth of facility to be protected against floods;


 Economic losses incurred by flooding;
 Functional importance of the project ;
 Variation of frequency and rainfall intensity in the project area; and
 Time of unavailability of the facility or area when flooded.

Considering the above, and based on DPWH DGCS 2015, the following design return periods shall be
adopted for the project road.

4.2. HYDRAULIC DESIGN


4.2.1. Design flows
The road network in a project area crosses a number of rivers/tributaries/ streams with small and
medium catchment and therefore for design of bridges and other structures, hydrological
parameters of these structures are essentially required. The design flows shall be consistent with
the design flows of the drainage waterway in which the improvement is being made.
For the hydraulic analysis, design flows will be based on the size of the drainage area as presented in
the previous section. For small drainage areas less than 20 sq. km, the rational method is used while
for large drainage areas greater than 20 sq. km, the synthetic unit-hydrograph method or the
regional analysis is used.

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:

V = average velocity, m/sec.


Q = discharge, cu. m/sec.
R = hydraulic radius, A/P
S = slope of the energy line
n = Manning’s roughness coefficient
A = cross-sectional area, sq. m.
P = wetted perimeter, m.

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.

5. TOPOGRAPHIC AND HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS METHODOLOGY


Topographic surveying is a process that records information about the surface conditions of a specific site
converting it into point data that is essential to generate surface model as a basis for designing structures.
This project, in particular used topographic survey for bridge and road design. On the other hand,
hydrographic surveying is the branch of surveying which deals with anybody of still or running water such as
a lake, harbor, stream or river. Specifically, for this project, it defines river banks and riverbed features.

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.

5.2.1.2. Vertical Ground Control


• A vertical control was established for the project area which was connected and referred to
at least three (3) existing benchmarks (BMs). Vertical control refers to a reference datum
plane, either the Mean Sea Level or the Mean Lower Water (MLLW) as established by
NAMRIA. In all cases, the datum is clearly indicated in the survey plans.

• 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.

5.2.2. Topographic/ Hydrographic Survey


Topographic/Hydrographic Survey undertaken using Electronic Total Station to gather the precise
position of the existing river, structure, utilities and other features as needed. The survey extended
five hundred meters (500m) upstream and downstream from the centerline of the bridge to gather
information on necessary river control or training works.

• 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.

• Longitudinal Profile of the River

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.

was established by the surveying team. Horizontal control surveys coordinate horizontal
positional data. These positions were used as reference by parallels or plane coordinate
axes and are used as a framework for other precise and accurate surveys. These surveys
provide a network of monuments or points on the ground that can be used as the control

a. Existing site condition

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.

6.1.2.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

The watershed area comprises the province 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 North Peak Bulagao in Mt.Banti Goolong. Both the main river
(Bantaoay River) which is connected to Santo Tomas River, each has their 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 and partially urbanized. There are several waterways on
river flowing towards Bantaoay 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 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 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.

West Ilocos Fault

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.

6.1.2.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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%

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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.

Figure 6.1.4 San Antonio 1 Bridge, Municipality of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur

6.1.3.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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
(drainage area map included in this report). Those mountain ranges converge on some
other peak elevations, namely Mt. Banmika in the eastern part of the river. Both the main
river (Narvacan 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 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.

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 6.40 km
northwest 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

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

6.1.3.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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.

6.1.3.5. Hydrographic survey results


a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

ILS-3019 was identified within the project site and used as reference for horizontal
control establishment with coordinates 1924830.86N, 443695.232E in Philippine
Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92 and 1925855.011N, 231214.73E in Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM)/ WGS84. This benchmark has corresponding certifications
from the agency.

ILS-3019 Station is established and located along the barangay road beside a river
inside the lot of Edmund Soliven, 150 m. from the national highway going to Brgy. San
Pedro, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur after a bridge.

Mark is the head of a 3” concrete nail embedded and centered on a 30 cm. x 30 cm. x
100 cm. standard concrete monument protruding by about 20 cm., with inscriptions,
"ILS-3019 PRS-92 DENR FNSP R-1".

- Vertical Control

LS-165 is in Barangay San Antonio, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur.

Station is located at the NE approach of San Antonio bridge 1; on top of the concrete
pavement, 4.50 m. E of the national road centerline. Station is set 0.20 m. above the
ground.

Mark is the head of 4” copper nail set on a drilled hole and cemented on top of a 15
cm. x 15 c. cement putty with the inscription, “LS-165 2007 NAMRIA”.

Direction and ordinary level (13.082) were based on gathered data while maximum
flood level (16.082) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further
verified from citizens living in the vicinity near the bridge.

6.1.4.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

Bridge site crosses a waterway which is a tributary of Sinocalan River. Watershed is just a
small part a flat terrain and most of the plains are agricultural fields with some remaining
forest reserves. The waterway 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. It has many types of soil ranging from
clay loam to sand.

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 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.

6.1.4.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Villamil 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.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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
2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manu-facturers 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, 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.

monument with inscriptions, "PNG-3303, PRS-92, 2008, DENR-LMS R-1".

- Vertical Control

PS-341 Station is situated along Dagupan-Lingayen highway. It is located on the E side


of D24-132 electric post and S side of vehicle entrance to Jollibee drive-thru. It is
about 6 m. E of highway centerline and 20 m. S of entrance gate to CSI (City Mall-
Welcome arch).

Mark is the head of a 4” copper nail embedded on center of a cement putty with
inscriptions, “PS-341, 2007, NAMRIA”.

Direction and ordinary level (21.113) were based on gathered data while maximum
flood level (23.613) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further
verified from citizens living in the vicinity near the bridge.

6.2.1.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

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 the
located at an approximate distance of 16.70 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 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
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
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

58
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

into account in design. This is very likely to occur if the area is experiencing or has the
history of heavy rainfall associated with rapid river current.

A worst‐case scenario should be taken into account in designing the foundation by


considering steel piles (H‐piles). This pile type is well‐suited for this site considering the
presence of gravels, cobbles, and boulders. This can work effectively to minimize problems
in scouring especially to piers exposed to river current. A shallow foundation system can still
be adopted at both abutments with adequate rip‐rap protection.

Results from the analysis of nine (9) borehole data obtained from this site, the following
item provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for foundation analysis and design.

6.2.1.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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

61
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

2015 according to the Chamber of Automotive Manu-facturers 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, 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.

6.2.2.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

In the upper reaches of the Sicalao River, some channelization and terracing is starting to
occur, where the river at elev 810m with a slope of 0.039. 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. Bajucan. 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 rice fields downstream. Bridge site has vegetated river and dry during
summer. Extensive deposits of sandy loom soil are noticeable along the river at flat terrain.
Meandering pattern of river were observed.

combination with wind and seismic forces.

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

70
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

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.
Figure 6.2.4 Nearest Fault to the Sicalao Bridge 1 (Phivolcs, 2017)

f. Liquefaction Potential

Dense to very 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 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
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.

a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmark CGY-85 was identified within the project site and used as
reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1995110.96N,
338305.85E in Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92 and 1995205.553N,
550020.44E in Universal Transverse Mercator. This benchmark has corresponding
certifications from the agency.

CGY-85 is located on top of a concrete structure in the irrigation canal, SW of the


national highway 500 m. from KM Post 739 (11L, 15R) going to Rizal.

Mark is the head of a 3” copper nail set flushed on top of a concrete putty, with
inscriptions, "CGY-85 2007 NAMRIA".

- Vertical Control

CG-296A (MBM-2) is located on the left side of the road to Aparri, almost beside the
Magapit bridge approach and KM Post 714.

Mark is the head of a 4” copper nail set on a drilled hole and cemented on top of a 15
cm. x 15 cm. cement putty with the inscriptions, “CG-296; 2015 NAMRIA”.

Direction and ordinary level (44.718) were based on gathered data while maximum
flood level (48.715) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further
verified from citizens living in the vicinity near the bridge.

6.3.1.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

6.3.1.2. Geotechnical investigation results
a. Subsurface Condition

From the Test data acquired, the sublayer shows profile of Silty Sand, clayey sand, well-
graded sand with silt, lean and fat clay, silt(low and high plastic) from original ground level
down to 60 meters depth. Sand samples are classified as non plastic which are common for
this area. SPT n- value range from 2 blows per foot at an average depth of 30 meters to

77
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

more than 50 blows per foot at deeper layer of the hole. Below is the plot of Blows to depth
at each boreholes.

b. Ground Water Elevation

Water table was encountered at 0.8 meter depth for abutment sections and 1 meter above
the river bed for pier sections. This was based from the existing ground during the phase of
drilling.

c. Allowable Bearing Capacity

Footing shall rest at 1.5 meters depth based from the existing ground level during the time
of investigation. An allowable soil bearing capacity of 40 kPa may be allowed for the 3 –
storey building structures. It is required to use tie beams at the pedestal of the foundation.
Below are computed allowable soil bearing capacity with respect to depth:

Table 6.3.1– Allowable Soil Bearing Capacity (Pampanga Delta 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

Based from the attached fault line Map, the site is located approximately 40 kilometers from
the Valley Fault system.

f. Liquefaction Potential

Layers of soils from existing ground down to 15 meters depth of the hole are found to be
prone to liquefaction for any earthquake magnitude greater than 7.0. From the attached
liquefaction map in the Philippines, the site is included to liquefaction prone areas.

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

6.3.1.5. Hydrographic survey results
a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmark PMG-3006 was identified within the project site and used as
reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1645652.528N,
468310.302E in Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92 and 1646325.57N,
253127.51E in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) / WGS84. This benchmark have
corresponding certifications from the agency.
PMG-3006 from San Fernando City, travel along McArthur Highway leading to Apalit
Public Market intersection. Turn right to the said intersection and travel towards
Macabebe Municipal Hall. Before reaching the said municipal hall, turn left and follow
the concrete road leading to Brgy. Bebe Anac Bridge. Station is located at the S side of
the bridge and measures about 10 m. from the SE end of the said bridge. Mark is the
ehad of a 4 in. copper nail centered in a 25 cm x 25 cm. cement putty flushed on the
ground, with inscriptions, "PMG-3006 2007 NAMRIA".

- Vertical Control

BM PA-79 Station is along the E side of the National Road (McArthur Highway),
about 140 m. N of Sulipan Bridge, on top of a 1.20 m. square footing of a steel
electrical post (about 0.80 dia.) near its N corner.

Station mark is the head of a 4” copper nail set on a drilled hole and cemented
flushed with the pavement.

Direction and ordinary level (6.236) were based on gathered data while
maximum flood level (7.616) was based on existing flood marks along the
banks and further verified from citizens living in the vicinity near the bridge.

6.3.2.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

The watershed area comprise the provinces of Bulacan 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.
Katitingo and Mt. Balaghag in the upstream part of the river. Santo Cristo River
is connected at the confluence of the Santa Maria River which distributes to
the whole 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.
There are several waterways on river flowing towards Santo Cristo 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.

e. Seismic Design Considerations

The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this
site is the West Valley Fault. This fault is situated at an approximate distance
of 3.50 km east from the project site. Hence, considerations should be made
in designing the structure to resist against earthquake.

Figure 6.3.3 Nearest Fault to the Kay Tialo Bridge (Phivolcs, 2017)

West Valley Fault

Project Site

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

Very loose to 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 very 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

6.4.1.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

The above‐values can be increased by 33 % for analysis involving transient loads in
combination with wind and seismic forces.

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 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.

6.4.1.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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.

a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmarks BTG-46 and BTG-45 were identified within the project site and used
as reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1554785.53N and
468208.916E 1547952.282N, 468159.676E respectively in Philippine Transverse Mercator
(PTM)/ PRS92. Both benchmarks have corresponding certifications from the agency.

BTG-46 is located from Tuy Town Proper, travel for about 6 km. going to Brgy. Sabang.
Turn right to the brgy. road leading to Eulogio G. Cerrado Elem. School. Station is located
on the SE corner of the flagpole base of the said school. Mark is the head of a 4 in. copper
nail centered and embedded on a 30 cm. x 30 cm. concrete block, with inscriptions "BTG-
46 2007 NAMRIA".

BTG-45 from Tuy Town Proper, travel S on the road going to Balayan, then turn right to
the road going to Brgy. Malibu. Station is located on the NW side of a fenced garden and
about 10 m. W of the school bldg. of Santiago De Guzman Elem. School. Mark is the head
of a 4 in. copper nail centered and embedded on a 30 cm. x 30 cm. concrete block, with
inscriptions "BTG-45 2007 NAMRIA".

- Vertical Control

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 23.60 ms.

Direction and ordinary level (16.20) were based on gathered data while maximum flood
level (20.90) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further verified from
elders living in the vicinity of the bridge.

6.5.1.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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
meandering patterns.

6.5.1.2. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Manukdok Bridge has a low daily traffic flows with motor-cycles among
the highest at 60.31%, followed by passenger jeepneys at 14.70%, then by 3-axle trucks at
7.74%, motorized tricycles at 4.71%, semi-trailer at 4.22%, small trucks at 3.87% and the
rest are less than 2%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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
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 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.

6.5.1.4. Hydrographic survey results


a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmark PLW-60 (PAL-04) was identified within the project site and used as
reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1070628.655N,
490124.807E respectively in Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92. Both
benchmarks have corresponding certifications from the agency.

"PLW-60 (PAL-04) is located from Puerto Princesa City travel south bound of the road
going west coast for 45 minutes, turn right at a junction at Brgy. Montible following the
rough rugged road upon reaching Brgy. Napsan, turn left going Sitio Manudc. The station
is located along the national road going to Brgy. Apurawan (near Brgy. Napsan and Brgy.
Apurawan boundary). The station is marked with 30 x 30 x 100 cm concrete monument
inscripted with PAL-04 2005 NCIP."

- Vertical Control

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 GPS-1 to be 29.12 ms.

Direction and ordinary level (13.108) were based on gathered data while maximum flood
level (16.108) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further verified from
elders living in the vicinity of the bridge.

6.5.2.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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
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 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.

6.5.2.4. Hydrographic survey results


a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmark PWC-42 and PLW-4080 were identified within the project site and
used as reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1066510.643N,
486506.353E and 1062303.683N, 483044.765E respectively in Philippine Transverse
Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92. Both benchmarks have corresponding certifications from the
agency.

PWC-42 is located at Barangay Aporawan, Aborlan, Palawan located at road intersection


at Sitio Longpoint.Station mark is the head of a 2" copper nail centered on a 20X20X60cm.
concrete monument with inscriptions "pwc-92; 2012; NAMRIA."

PLW-4080 is from Puerto Princesa City proper, travel W towards Brgy. Apurawan. Station
is located near the JTR waiting shed. Mark is the head of 4” copper nail flushed in cement
putty embedded on the ground with inscriptions “PLW-4080 2008 NAMRIA”.

- Vertical Control

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 GPS-1 to be 9.0 m.

Direction and ordinary level (17.414) were based on gathered data while maximum flood
level (20.814) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further verified from
elders living in the vicinity of the bridge.

6.5.3.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

6.5.3.2. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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

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

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.

a. Existing site condition

The bridge site crosses a waterway which is connected to irrigation aside the Talisay 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. It has many types of soil ranging from
clay loam to sand.

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 the
Legaspi Lineament. This fault is situated at an approximate distance of less than 1.0 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

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 two (2) borehole data obtained from this site,
the following item provides the pile capacity data, which can be used for foundation analysis
and design.

6.6.1.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over San Vicente Bridge is considered high with the following percentage of
motorized vehicles; motorized tricycles at 40.03%, motorcycles at 36.48%, Cars at 11.90%,
small delivery trucks/vans at 5.11%, passenger jeepneys at 2.20% with the rest less than
one percent, while pedicab or non-motorized mode of transport account for 2.74%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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 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 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 4.0 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.

a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmark ABY-4250 was identified within the project site and used as reference
for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1477249.536N, 575307.768E
respectively in Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92. Both benchmarks have
corresponding certifications from the agency.

The station is located at Barangay Bacolod, Libon, Albay along the road about 3 meters
away from the bridge and 100 meters away from the Welcome arc of Barangay Bacolod.
Station mark is the head of a 4" non-corrosive metal in cement block with inscription "alb
no. 3715."

- Vertical Control

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 19.12.

Direction and ordinary level (16.977) were based on gathered data while maximum flood
level (20.977) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further verified from
elders living in the vicinity of the bridge.

6.6.2.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

e. Seismic Design Considerations

The nearest fault that can generate large‐scale magnitude earthquake for this site is the
Legaspi Lineament. This fault is situated at an approximate distance of 7.90 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

130
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

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.

Figure 6.6.4 Nearest Fault to the Pagatpatan-Coguit Bridge (Phivolcs, 2017)

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.

6.6.2.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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.

6.6.2.5. Hydrographic survey results


a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmark

NAMRIA benchmark CMS 3191 was identified within the project site and used as
reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1,469,870.707N,
525,908.846E respectively in Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92. Both
benchmarks have corresponding certifications from the agency.

CMS3191 is located at Barangay Coguit, Municipality of Balatan, Province of Camarines


Sur infront of the Zone-5 marker at the right side of the road going to plaza. Station mark
is the head of a 4" copper nail flushed in a 20 x 20 x 100 block embedded on the ground
with inscription "CMS-3919; 2010; DENR/LMS-V."

- Vertical Control

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
elders living in the vicinity of the bridge.

6.6.3.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

The above‐values can be increased by 33 % for analysis involving transient loads in
combination with wind and seismic forces.

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.

Figure 6.6.7. Nearest Fault to the Taboc Bridge (Phivolcs, 2017)

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.

a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Taboc Bridge is considered medium mostly composed of light vehicles.
The highest traffic flow is motorcycles at 46.56% followed by motorized tricycles at
37.36%, small delivery trucks at 6.80%, cars at 5.53%, passenger jeepneys at 2.47%, and
the rest at less than one percent.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Sorsogon in 2011 which
ranges from 2.105 percent to 2.561 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 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.

a. Existing site condition

In the upper reaches of the river, some channelization and terracing is starting to occur,
where the river at elevation 2462m with a slope of 0.205. 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. 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.

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 the
Legaspi Lineament. This fault is situated at an approximate distance of 17.30 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 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.

6.6.4.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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

a. Existing site condition

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.

b. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• PI is less than 20 percent

As such, the site has liquefaction potential during a major earthquake.

c. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.7.1.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Songsongon Bridge has a low daily traffic flows with motorcycles among
the highest at 77.36%, followed by car/taxi/muli cab/suv at 11.92%, then by motorized
tricycles at 4.49%, small delivery trucks at 2.48%, rigid 2-axle trucks at 1.03%, and
passenger jeepneys at 1.01%. The non-motorized mode of transport is at 1.71%,

b. Traffic Growth Rates

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Iloilo in 2011 which ranges
from 2.211 percent to 3.002 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 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 3.5 percent for pas-senger vehicles and 4.0 percent for

154
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

goods vehicles. These are fairly assumed traffic growth rates considering the present
economic activity within the di-rect influence area of the bridge.

a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmark ILO-5874 was identified within the project site and used as
reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates 1183345.852N,
421555.094E in Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92 and 1182931.660N,
421582.550E in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)/ WGS84. This benchmark has
corresponding certifications from the agency.

ILO-5874 The station is located at Brgy. Jovellar, Igbaras, Iloilo. Placed at hill top, and
20 m SE of Rodolfo Gelasan residence, approximately 1 ½ km distance to Poblacion.
Mark is the head of a 3” copper nail set and centered on a 20 cm x 20 cm x 100 cm
cement putty with inscriptions, "ILO-5874 ;2012; LMS-6".

- Vertical Control

155
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

BM IL-24(ACRE 2000) Station is located at the headwall of a box culvert 3.50 m


from the lamp post fronting the KM Post 30+050. Mark is the head of a 4”
copper nail set flushed on a cement putty with inscriptions, “IL-24, ACRE,
2000”.

Direction and ordinary level (69.333) were based on gathered data while
maximum flood level (72.337) was based on existing flood marks along the
banks and further verified from elders living in the vicinity of the bridge.

6.7.2.1. Site description


a. The bridge site crosses a main river which is a merging river Sibucao River and
Natubungan Creek. The watershed is a wide part of flat terrain and most of the plains are
fishery and agricultural fields. The wide catchment area contains stream with continuous
flow of water that contributes to the irrigation of the rice fields and fishponds. Floodplains
were once the spillover zone for the river. As people settled in floodplains, the land was
converted into farms, homes, and businesses. There is also vegetation along the river
routes that laced mostly flat landscape with their meandering patterns. Bridge site has
aquatic resources along the river. Silty sand materials/ soil was observed in the river.Existing

b. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• PI is less than 20 percent

As such, the site has liquefaction potential during a major earthquake.

c. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.7.2.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Hinigaran Bridge is considered high with the following percentage of
motorized vehicles; motorized tricycles at 51.35%, motorcycles at 22.02%, cars at 16.43%,
small delivery trucks/vans at 2.49%, passenger jeepneys at 2.03% and the rest at less than
two percent including the non-motorized vehicles.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Negros Occi-dental 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 23percent 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, 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
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.

6.7.3.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

General land surface features that characterize in the province of Negros Occidental
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 (Talave 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, aquatic resources with some remaining forest reserves. There are several waterways
on river flowing towards Talave River where the bridge project is located which is nearby the
coastline of Talave 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.

6.7.4.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

In the upper reaches of the Himamaylan River, some channelization and terracing is starting
to occur, where the river at elevation 600 m with a slope of 0.02706. A rolling terrain can be
found in along the drainage divide lines as indicated in the catchment area (drainage area
map included in this report). Most of the plains are agricultural fields and aquatic resources
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 rice 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 meandering pattern of river were observed.

b. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• PI is less than 20 percent

As such, the site has liquefaction potential during very strong earthquake.

c. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.7.4.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Himamaylan City Bridge is considered high with the following percentage
of motorized vehicles; motorized tricycles at 48%, motorcycles at 22%, cars at 19%, small
delivery trucks/vans at 3%, passenger jeepneys and mini bus at 2% and the rest at the rest
are 2%.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Negros Occidental 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 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.

6.8.1.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

General land surface features that characterize in the province of Negros Occidental
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 (Payabon River)
which is connected to Talaptap 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 Payabon River where the bridge project is
located which is nearby the coastline of Tinaogan Reef. 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.

b. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• IL (Liquidity Index) > 0

As such, the site has no issue on liquefaction.

c. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.8.1.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Talaptap Bridge is considered medium flow with the following
percentage of motorized vehicles; motorcycles at 38.17%, motorized tricycles at 18.85%,
cars at 11.48%, small delivery trucks/vans at 4.46%, pas-senger jeepneys at 3.91% and
the rest at less than two percent. The non-motorized vehicles or pedicab registered a
high percentage of 19.62%

b. Traffic Growth Rates

DPWH has published traffic growth rates for the Province of Negros Occidental 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 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, 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
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.

6.8.2.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

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.

b. Allowable Bearing Capacity

Embedment Depth Net Allowable Bearing Capacity
1.5m 300 kPa
The above value already incorporates a geotechnical factor of safety of 3.0.

c. Settlement

Limit the settlement to 25mm

d. Seismic Design Considerations

With reference to NSCP 2010 for earthquake design, a seismic zone factor, Z = 0.4 and a Soil
Profile Type = SC shall be used. The site is more than 15kms from nearest known seismic
generator which is the Central Negros Fault. Seismic parameters given above shall be
verified by design engineer prior to design.

e. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• IL (Liquidity Index) > 0

As such, the site has no liquefaction potential during a major earthquake.

f. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.8.2.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

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
at .04%, big bus at 2.87%, rigid 2-axle truck at 1.87%, rigid 3-axle truck at 0.21%, semi-
trailer at 0.10% and the non-motorized vehicles or pedicab at 2.08%

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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.

6.8.4.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

The watershed area comprises the provinces of Negros Occidental 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. Canlaon in the upstream part of the catchment area. 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. 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 sandy. There is also abundance of boulders,
gravels and sand along the river routes, that laced mostly flat landscape with their
meandering patterns.

USCS Remarks
Depth, m
Classification (Relative Condition / Consistency)
0-1.5 SM Very dense
1.5-30.0 Gravel Very poor, weathered

b. Seismic Design Considerations

With reference to NSCP 2010 for earthquake design, a seismic zone factor, Z=0.4 and a Soil
Profile Type = SC shall be used. The nearest seismic generator is the Central Negros Fault.
Seismic parameters and location from the generator shall be verified by design engineer
prior to design.

c. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• IL (Liquidity Index) > 0

As such, the site has no issue on liquefaction.

d. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.8.4.3. Traffic Study Results


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Malaiba 1 Bridge is considered medium flow with the fol-lowing
percentage of motorized vehicles; motorcycles at 87.12%, cars at 7.26%, motorized
tricycles at 1.77%, small delivery trucks/vans at 1.64%, passenger jeepneys at 1.46%, and
the rest at less than one percent. The non-motorized vehicles or pedicab is less than one
percent.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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 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.

a. In situ survey conditions

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmarks NGE-55 and NGE-56 were identified within the project site and
used as reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates
1147705.156N, 521919.526E and 1147507.725N, 526967.065E respectively in
Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92 and 1147303.440N, 521911.85E and
1147106.080N, 526957.630E respectively in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)/
WGS84. Both benchmarks have corresponding certifications from the agency.
NGE-55 The station is on top of a rock outcrop predominant at the site. The station is
about 70 meters SE of KM Post 168 and about 2.07 km. from the city proper. The
station is in between two wooden electric post on the east side of the highway curve.
Mark is the head of a 4” copper nail drilled and grouted at the center of a 30 cm. x 30
cm. cement putty with inscriptions, "NGE-55; 2007; NAMRIA".

NGE-56 The station is located on the SW wingwall pavement of Binalbagan bridge. The
bridge is on KM. 162 and about 4 km. away from Canlaon City proper. Mark is the
head of a 4” copper nail drilled and grouted at the center of a cement putty with
inscriptions, "NGE-56; 2007; NAMRIA".

- Vertical Control

NAMRIA was not able to provide Certificate of BM Vertical Control near Canlaon City,
hence, Global Positioning System (GPS) reading was taken at BM 1 and BM 2 to be
472.01 m. and 472.62 m. respectively.

Direction and ordinary level (468.164) were based on gathered data while maximum
flood level (471.089) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further
verified from citizens living near the vicinity of the bridge.

6.8.5.1. Site description


a. Existing site condition

The watershed area comprises the provinces of Negros Occidental 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. Canlaon in the upstream part of the catchment area. 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. 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 sandy. There is also abundance of boulders,
gravels and sand along the river routes, that laced mostly flat landscape with their
meandering patterns.

Classification (Relative Condition / Consistency)
0-1.5 SM Very dense
1.5-30.0 Gravel Very poor, weathered

b. Seismic Design Considerations

With reference to NSCP 2010 for earthquake design, a seismic zone factor, Z = 0.4 and a
Soil Profile Type = SC shall be used. The nearest seismic generator is the Central Negros
Fault. Seismic parameters and location from the generator shall be verified by design
engineer prior to design.

c. Liquefaction Potential

The following are the ground condition criteria in considering the liquefaction potential:

• SPT N-value is less than 10


• Soil particle diameter at 50% passing is between 0.02mm and 2.0mm
• Saturated soil material
• Non-plastic (cohesionless)
• IL (Liquidity Index) > 0

As such, the site has no issue on liquefaction.

d. Recommended Foundation

Expecting large dead & live loads on to be passed on to the bridge piers and abutment and
considering overturning and lateral loads to be imposed on the foundation, a Bored pile/
Pile cap structure is recommended for the bridge structure.

6.8.5.3. Traffic Study Results.


a. Traffic Composition

Traffic flow over Malaiba (Malaiba II) Bridge is considered medium flow with the following
percentage of motorized vehicles; motorcycles at 87.12%, cars at 7.26%, motorized
tricycles at 1.77%, small delivery trucks/vans at 1.64%, passenger jeepneys at 1.46%, and
the rest at less than one percent. The non-motorized vehicles or pedicab is less than one
percent.

b. Traffic Growth Rates

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 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.

- Principal Horizontal Benchmarks

NAMRIA benchmarks NGE-55 and NGE-56 were identified within the project site and
used as reference for horizontal control establishment with coordinates
1147705.156N, 521919.526E and 1147507.725N, 526967.065E respectively in
Philippine Transverse Mercator (PTM)/ PRS92 and 1147303.440N, 521911.85E and
1147106.080N, 526957.630E respectively in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)/
WGS84. Both benchmarks have corresponding certifications from the agency.

NGE-55 The station is on top of a rock outcrop predominant at the site. The station is
about 70 meters SE of KM Post 168 and about 2.07 km. from the city proper. The
station is in between two wooden electric post on the east side of the highway curve.
Mark is the head of a 4” copper nail drilled and grouted at the center of a 30 cm. x 30
cm. cement putty with inscriptions, "NGE-55; 2007; NAMRIA".

NGE-56 The station is located on the SW wingwall pavement of Binalbagan bridge. The
bridge is on KM. 162 and about 4 km. away from Canlaon City proper. Mark is the
head of a 4” copper nail drilled and grouted at the center of a cement putty with
inscriptions, "NGE-56; 2007; NAMRIA".

- Vertical Control

NAMRIA was not able to provide Certificate of BM Vertical Control near Canlaon City,
hence, Global Positioning System (GPS) reading was taken at BM 1 and BM 2 to be
483.82 m. and 484.62 m. respectively.

Direction and ordinary level (480.642) were based on gathered data while maximum
flood level (484.453) was based on existing flood marks along the banks and further
verified from citizens living near the vicinity of the bridge.

7. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION

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.
