Roxas Avenue in Davao City is well known by locals and non-locals as the night market of
Davao City. Many people go there every night to eat and to shop as well .A pedestrian bridge
was proposed for Roxas Avenue of Davao City, Philippines to serve as a passage way for
customers as well as pedestrians that wants to cross the (canal) in the middle of the street.
The bridge that was proposed is 2 meters in width, with an overall depth of 6 inches. The
bridge will provide a safe and more accessible route for pedestrians to travel over the open
canal. The proposed bridge will influence the pedestrians to cross the bridge rather than go to
a hassle and go around the open canal, and it will help lessen the crowd of customers from
the street market. The design for the bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge (RCB). The design
is made by considering its simplicity, cost and especially the safety of the pedestrians that
will use the bridge. The bridge is placed in line with the existing road. A steel railing system
was designed to ensure the safety of the pedestrians that will be using the bridge.
Construction of the bridge will be performed on site, with cast-in-place concrete.
Introduction
Roxas Avenue in Davao City is well known by locals and non-locals as the night
market of Davao City. A pedestrian bridge was proposed for Roxas Avenue of
Davao City, Philippines to serve as a passage way for pedestrians who wants to
cross the canal in the middle of the street. The bridge that was proposed is 2
meters in width, with an overall depth of 5 feet. The bridge will provide a safe
and more accessible route for pedestrians and bicyclists to travel over the open
canal.

Roxas Avenue is composed of two busy roads. The traffic for these roads are

opposite in direction, thus the main purpose of the bridge is to connect these
roads and to provide a safe passage for pedestrians and night shoppers over the
open canal.
Project and Bridge Location
The bridge that will be constructed is located in the heart of the busy street of
Roxas. At night this street turns into a location of all the things you can have.
From all the kinds of street food up to the latest thing in the fasion industry
(Figure 1a&1b). Roxas Avenue is a long strip of road that is divided by an open
canal in the middle. Due to different intersections the canal is divided into four(4)
sub-canals (Figures 1c-1d). We will be proposing a pedestrian bridge for the most
crowded part of the street which is Figure 3.

Scope of Report
The scope of this report was to inform the reader of three primary goals. First is
to suggest locations in need of a pedestrian bridge and uses. Second is to
provide the required computations needed to construct the bridge. Lastly,
provide a cost analysis of the proposed bridge.
The location of the proposed pedestrian bridge was determined based on the
proximity of the volume of people going there for 24 hours. Considering that the
volume only increases at night we scientifically placed the bridge on the subcanal with the highest volume at night.
Adequate serviceability was determined using multiple code references and a
suitable design was performed using STAAD and AutoCAD. The calculations are
provided to show the reader that the designs used conforms the national code
standards for pedestrian bridges. The cost for the bridge is...

Bridge Design
The design of the bridge was referred to the specifications given by NSCP. The
dead and live loads are also taken from the standards given by NSCP.
Dead Load

Live Load

The dead loads used for the bridge is 23.6 KN/m^3 for the reinforced concrete
and 77.3 KN/m^3 for the railings in the bridge. The live load used from NSCP for
Pedestrian Bridges and Walkways is 4.8 kPa.

Sustainability
The bridge is designed by providing a ground covering for the abutments that
will provide stability to the soil by avoiding erosion due to flood. The chosen
design is RCB because it has been found that concrete has a lifespan that can go
over 100 years and concrete maintenance is less than that of steel.
Economics
The cost for the designed bridge was analysed by determining what kind of
bridge will be cost efficient for the institution that will make the bridge. The
prices of steel was considered to be Php238.00 at 6 meters length and the
cement to be Php250.00 per bag.

Computations
DEAD AND LIVE LOADS
ACCORDING TO NSCP 6TH EDITION 2010:
UNIT WEIGHT:
CONCRETE = 23.56 KN/M3
STEEL = 77.3 KN/M3 (BARS)
DEAD LOAD: CONCRETE = 23.56 * 0.1 * 1 = 2.356
STEEL = 77.3 * [(PI/4)*(0.05^2)] = 0.1517 * 2 = 0.3034
TOTAL DEADLOAD = 2.356 + 0.3034 = 2.6594
LIVE LOADS:
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES AND WALKWAY = 4.8KN
FACTORED LOAD (1.2DL+1.6LL)
1.2*2.6594 + 1.6*4.8 = 10.88
