Abstract Philippines lie in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region where earthquakes and other seismic activities are frequent. Through the NBCDO Memorandum Circular No. 01 Series of 2015, The DPWH Guidelines and Implementing Rules on Earthquake Recording Instrumentation for buildings was implemented with the objectives of: (1) ensuring the safety of building occupants by determining the condition of buildings, and (2) collecting earthquake related data during major seismic activities. Despite being signed on March 12, 2015, the compliance rate of the buildings here in the City of Manila was low. The purpose of this study is to determine the cost impact of the said guidelines to building owners using MCDA- AHP; as well as to identify the amount needed to equip the City of Manila. The research was carried out having SHM experts (for AHP) and building owners (for MCDA) as the respondents for the corresponding parts of the study. The results show that the equipment price has the biggest impact to the building owners and their willingness to pay for ERIs is lower compared to the market.

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is not new in the field of structural engineering and its application goes from the monitoring to evaluation of bridges, dams, buildings, and other similar structures. As per National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) Volume 1[1-4], the Implementing Rules of earthquake recording instrumentation of buildings has been continually advancing, but not in the case of bridges and dams. The objective of this paper is to apply the established sensor-driven accelerometer developed by USHER (Universal Structural Health Evaluation and Recording) system in the evaluation of Padre Jacinto Zamora Bridge in Manila; specifically, to determine the proper installation of the developed accelerometer in the identified critical parts of the bridge. SHM addresses the problem of structural integrity assessment and help in assuring repair cost to a minimal. SHM helps quantify the strength of a structure by identifying the damage. Often evaluations are made using visual inspection and by age consideration. Most of the time, the use of this type of evaluation tend to be expensive. Repairs are not directed to the damaged component alone but the whole structure. Hence, the expenditure expands. SHM with the application of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Sensors (MEMS) will allow gathering of data that can be converted in the form of the structure’s modal properties (i.e. natural frequency, mode shape, and damping ratio) [6, 7]. Structural health is then determined and be ready to compare it to the structural model simulation results. A method was developed to incorporate seismic fragility curves [5] to determine the thresholds for the evaluation of the structural health. Capacity spectrum method was utilized to derive the seismic fragility function. A Monte Carlo Simulation was used to derive the flood fragility curves.
