Abstract
Philippines is susceptible to typhoons due to its geographical location, which is near the Pacific Ocean. Most of the typhoons that struck the Philippines left massive damages and casualties. In order to reduce the damages and casualties that upcoming typhoons can bring to the nation, Next Century Building Inc.'s EMMEDUE single panel can be considered as a replacement to the reinforced concrete that is typically used for building construction here in the Philippines. To determine the adequacy of EMMEDUE single panel, a finite element analysis was conducted. For the wind load used in the simulation, the typhoon with the fastest wind ever recorded was obtained from existing data and was converted to wind in accordance to the equations from American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE7-05). ETABS nonlinear Version 9.7.0 was used for the modeling and analysis of the structure. The obtained story drifts and deflection for each panel was compared to the allowable story drift and deflection stated in Uniform Building Coe (UBC) and International Building Code (IBC), respectively. The stress in each panel was compared to the computed maximum allowable, respectively. The stress in each Panel was compared to the computed maximum allowable bending stress. It was found out that EMMEDUE single panel is adequate in terms of story drift, deflection and bending stress when subjected to the highest typhoon-induced wind load.
