TIBAYAN, MARILOU A. Earthquake Assessment of Existing Public-School Buildings at Alfonso, Cavite. Narrative Report. Master of Engineering major in Structural Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. November 2014. Adviser: Engr. Marcelino A. Dagasdas Jr.
The study entitled "Earthquake Assessment of Existing Public-School Buildings at Alfonso, Cavite" verified the condition of existing public-school buildings using the Rapid Visual Assessment (RVA). There were eighteen public elementary school and six national high school in Alfonso, Cavite, out of these 18 schools the author considered to choose eight public elementary school and six national high school. The bases of selections were depending on the types and age of building for elementary school and considered all multi storey school buildings (elementary and high school). From those chosen school buildings, the study were conducted. Information and other data were gathered by interviewing the principals and teachers in respected school. These data were tabulated and analyzed to come up with conclusions.
The buildings considered were all two-storey classrooms at Alfonso National High School, Kaytitinga National High School, Lucsuhin National High School, Amuyong Elementary School, and Paj0 Elementary School and other selected single storey classroom. There were different types of buildings. These includes types like Gabaldon type, Marcos type, Gonzales Type, Philippines 2000, Bagong Lipunan type among others. The assessment considered at least two per building type, The Gabaldon at Alfonso Central School; the Marcos type at Pansin Elementary School, Matagbac
Elementary School and Taywanak Elementary School; the Philippines 2000 building at Esperanza Elementary School, Bagong Lipunan Building at Matagbac Elementary School; and the Gonzales building at Matagbac Elementary School and Buck Estate Elementary School.
The objectives of the study were to verify the physical condition of existing school buildings; to identify buildings designed and constructed before the adoption of adequate seismic design and detailing requirements base on NSCP 2010; and to determine how beneficial this study to the municipality of Alfonso.
Rapid Visual Assessment procedure was a study base on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA 154) Report, Rapid Visual Assessment of Potential Seismic Hazards. A Handbook.
Based on the rapid visual screening procedure all two-storey classroom were generally in good conditions in spite presence of some minor deformities on gutters, ceiling etc. There were hairline cracks seen on the building’s joints (see appendix 2). The single storey building was renovated, repaired and improved to make it more convenient for the students and teachers. Because of the age of the buildings there were no assurances that the buildings (single storey) can resist the effect of earthquake of high intensity.
