  • 2Nd District of Cagayan De Oro City, Philippines
    Mindanao Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 18 (1) (2020) 93-117 Site-Specific Response Spectra: 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines Israel A. Baguhin* and Jerson N. Orejudos College of Engineering and Technology Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology Iligan City, 9200 Philippines *[email protected] Date received: August 28, 2019 Revision accepted: February 5, 2020 Abstract Building codes are updated advertently to address the catastrophic effect of earthquakes. One way of mitigating it is the development of a site-specific response spectrum. In the Philippines, the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NPSC) is the recognized National Building Code adopting the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC). The NSCP uses the 10% probability of exceedance in a 50-year period with a return period of 475 years. In this study, site-specific response spectra were developed in the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro City using a 300-km radius, with coordinates of 8.235° (latitude) and 124.024° (longitude) as the center point of the study area, using the same probability of exceedance in a 50-year period. Historical earthquake catalogs were gathered from the United States Geological Survey and the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. Local soil condition was assimilated in the study to take into account the soil response. Finally, site-specific response spectra were developed using the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis where substantial results are achieved, i.e., the UBC 1997 design response spectrum is remarkably high in spectral acceleration values at 0.01, 0.20, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 s at 0.44, 1.1, 1.1, 0.7, 0.36, 0.26 and 0.20 g compared to the maximum site-specific response spectra of the study area of the same period at 0.39, 0.92, 0.23, 0.10, 0.07, 0.05 and 0.04 g spectral accelerations, respectively.

  • Investing in Rivers Can Help PHL Bag ‘First World’ Status by Jonathan L
    Investing in rivers can help PHL bag ‘First World’ status By Jonathan L. Mayuga JANUARY 29, 2017 | BUSINESS MIRROR In photo: An early morning scene at a fishing village on the Agusan River in the eastern part of Mindanao. Part One THE proper utilization of the country’s rivers and its raw water supply, a major economic resource in the Philippines, can provide the much-needed boost to help the country sustain growth and achieve the status of a First World economy, the country’s top environment official said. Citing the case of Singapore, Secretary Regina Paz L. Lopez of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Denr) said properly managing the country’s rivers is the key to sustaining the country’s growth and development. The key to Singapore’s phenomenal economic growth, she said, was the cleaning of the Singapore River, allowing it to spur economic activities, generate income and provide employment through tourism. Following the footsteps of Singapore and other first-world economies, the Philippines should be able to sustain growth by optimizing the ecosystems services provided by rivers and its abundant supply of freshwater, Lopex said. “The key to all the other first- world economies was the cleaning of their rivers; from Germany to France, to Korea,” says Lopez, an environmental advocate who once led the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission, the agency tasked to rehabilitate one of the country’s most polluted. “So the recipe works.” The Denr, the agency mandated to manage the country’s natural wealth, is implementing various programs geared toward protecting and conserving the country’s rivers.
