A Design of Solar Powered Steel-Framed Multi-Purpose Arena

Energy depletion is quite a serious issue that needs focus and attention. Engineers play the most important role in climate change because buildings emit the largest percentage of green gas. Minimizing the environmental impacts of land development also includes protecting natural systems and preserving one’s life. The idea of proposing a design of a solar powered steel-framed multi-purpose arena answers the problem of protecting the environment and natural resources. The main objectives of this approach is to avoid resource depletion of energy; prevent environmental degradation caused by facilities and infrastructure throughout their life cycle and create a built environment that are livable, comfortable, safe and productive. The study contributes to the great pool of knowledge and promotion of green engineering. The study concentrates on the design of the proposed solar powered steel-framed multi-purpose arena based on design codes, standards and specification required in the structure components with all possible combination of the proposed structural design computation of the proposed structure using Ultimate Strength Design, National Building Code of the Philippines (NSCP2010), National Structural Code of the Philippines, ACI Codes, ASCE (Minimum Design Loads for Building). After collecting all the data needed in analyzing the structure, the researchers found out that the structural components of the building are well designed and can carry the loads subjected to it. The researcher used simple costing method in estimating the quantity of STEEL-FRAMED MULTI-PURPOSE ARENA 16 materials and computing all the necessary materials and equipment used based on the current price and rate of labor and considering the activities to be done. With this, the researchers highly recommend the construction of the Solar Powered Steel-Framed Multi-Purpose Arena for future use of the community and future development of studies related to sustainability.
