Civil Engineering Law in the Philippines
edited June 24, 2018 References: Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Civil and Sanitary Engineering Laws of the Philippines 1977 Eight Editioncompiled and edited by CBSI Editorial Staff, published by Central Book Supply, Inc., Manila, Philippines Republic Act No. 544. 2015 enacted by Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress assembled. Website sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Institute_of_Civil_Engineers Retrieved April 5, 2015 http://www.architectureboard.ph/uploads/1205495298-RA1582_CIVILenggLaw.pdf Retrieved January 12, 2015 http://www.aseponline.org/ Retrieved April 5, 2015 ----- Accordingly, the Republic Act No. 544, as amended, is an act to regulate the practice of civil engineering in the Philippines and it shall be known as the "Civil Engineering Law." As a civil engineer, getting to know about the law is important especially when looking at the scope of the civil engineering services that can be rendered as authorized in the Philippines. The Civil Engineering Law provides that the practice of civil engineering shall embrace services in the form of consultation, design, preparation of plans, specifications, estimates, erection, installation and supervision of the construction of streets, bridges, highways, railroads, airports, and hangars, portworks, canals, river and shore improvements, lighthouses, and dry docks; buildings, fixed structures for irrigation, flood protection, drainage, water supply and sewerage works, demolition of permanent structures, and tunnels. It states though that such a list of work does not construed as excluding other works that require the civil engineering knowledge and application. In the Article II of the Civil Engineering Law it is provided that the Board of Examiners for Civil Engineers shall adopt a code of ethics in the practice of civil engineering and have an official seal to authenticate its official documents. As adopted by the Board of Examiners for Civil Engineers pursuant to Section 4 of the Republic Acts No. 544, is the code of ethics for civil engineers. Below are the statements found in the aforementioned code of ethics. It is considered unprofessional and inconsistent with honorable and dignified bearing for any registered Civil Engineer: To act for his clients in professional matters otherwise than as a faithful agent or trustee, or to accept any remuneration other than his stated charges for services rendered his clients. To attempt to injure falsely or maliciously, directly or indirectly, the professional reputation, prospects, or business of another Engineer. To attempt to supplant another Engineer after definite steps have been taken toward his employment. To participate in competitive bidding on a price basis to secure a professional engagement. To compete with another Engineer for employment on the basis of professional charges, by reducing his usual charges and in this manner attempting to underbid after being informed of the charges named by another. To review the work of another Engineer for the same client, except with the knowledge or consent of such Engineer, or unless the connection of such Engineer with the work has been terminated. To advertise in self- laudatory language, or in any other manner derogatory to the dignity of the Profession. To use the advantages of a salaried position to compete unfairly with Engineers in private practice. To act in any manner or engage in any practice which will tend to bring discredit on the honor or dignity of the Engineering Profession. According to the Section 4 of Article II of the Republic Act 544 as amended by Republic Act 1582, the Board of Civil Engineers is vested with the authority to investigate the violation of the Act and for this purpose to issue subpoena and subpoena duces tecum to secure the appearance of the witnesses in connection with the charges presented to the Board, to inspect at least once a year educational institutions offering courses in civil engineering, civil works, projects and corporation, established in the Philippines and, for safeguarding of life, health and property, to discharge such other powers and duties as may affect the ethical and technological standards of civil engineering profession in the Philippines. In an internet news dated March 30, 2011, accordingly, a bill was filed to amend the Civil Engineering Law to make it more responsive to globalization, cross-border practice, and climate change issue. A striking significance in the proposed amendment is the recognition of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) as an accredited professional organization of civil engineers. The PICE is a professional organization of civil engineers in the Philippines. From an article in the Wikipedia.org, information was gathered about how the PICE came out to be and is currently an active organization of civil engineers in the Philippines. Accordingly, in the 1920s a group of civil engineers in the government sector put up the Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (PSCE). Later in the year 1937, another organization of civil engineers was formed by the civil engineers in the private sector. The organization was named as the Philippine Associates of Civil Engineers (PACE). It was said that the two organizations want to elevate the standard of the civil engineering profession, foster fellowship among the members, promote the interrelationship with the other technical and scientific societies, and encourage research and engineering knowledge and technology. In the year 1972, an effort was made to merge the two organizations. This accordingly, paved the way for the creation of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) which was issued the certificate of registration by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1973. Meanwhile a group of civil engineers in the country belongs to the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP) Inc. Featured in an internet website, the ASEP got members who were called as purple cows. Accordingly the purple cows are called upon by the current ASEP board to continually strive to be updated of the technological codes, design innovations and global initiatives and to be proud to be a Filipino engineer.

Tabon edited August 9, 2015 Trips are meant to be significantly in plane, train, or on boat across the sea, along the beach, in field and up in the sky, with the site of many birds and dusts so dry, weeping willow trees, purple irises, flying butterflies, owl’s open wide eyes baby’s breath and redbud’s breath of fresh air, grasses in the field with the cannas' flair, wide plains from the tract and a viewed horizon, and the fair dream of the traveling person. *********************************************************************** |
Some points to consider in Ports and Harbors
Breakwater For breakwater, K (H with exponent 3 ) Sr W = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( (Cosα – Sin α) with exponent 3 )((Sr - 1) with exponent 3) Where W = weight of individual cap rock in kilogram K = coefficient equal to 15 for rubble stone Sr = specific weight of cap rock or block in metric tons per cubic meter H = height of wave from trough to crest in meter α = angle of slope with horizontal The base of the breakwater should have thickness and shearing strength which will provide a factor of safety of not less than 1.5 against a shear failure at the toe. Resisting moment Factor of safety = ----------------------------------- Driving moment Wind Intensity of wind velocity pressure is p = 0.00256( v with exponent 2 ) k Where P = velocity pressure in pounds per square foot v = velocity of wind in miles per hour k = shape factor = 1.3 The speed of approach of ship to dock will have to be assumed. Its energy effect varies as the square of the velocity. The speed of the ship must be converted into component normal to the dock. For fender system and dock Kinetic energy of impact is E = ½ ( W/g )( v with exponent 2) Where E = energy in feet-tons W = displaced weight of ship in long tons v = velocity of ship normal to the dock in feet per second g = acceleration due to gravity equal to 32.2 feet per second per second The energy to be absorbed by the fender system and the dock is usually (1/2) E. The work done by the pier is (1/2) F d Where F = force to be resisted in long tons d = distance through which the force moves in feet and d is elastic compression of fender system and / or deflection of the fender and structure (½) E = (1/2) F d which is work done by the dock in absorbing energy.
