NSCP 2015 Volume 2 is a significant advancement in Philippine structural steel engineering. By adopting AISC 360-10 and AISI S100-07, it aligns with modern international practice while addressing local seismic risks. Key improvements include the Direct Analysis Method for stability, stricter seismic detailing for moment and braced frames, and a comprehensive chapter on cold-formed steel.

This is the core technical chapter for designing members. It covers:

Requirements for shoring during construction – unshored vs. shored composite construction calculations.
