`The geological
location of a project contributes to the aspects you must consider on building
construction, it dictates on what kind of environment the building would stand and
what possible catastrophes may occur. The Philippines is a tropical region, is
in front of the Pacific Ocean, and is in the pacific rim of fire.
The Philippines
is a tropical region, therefore its climate has only two seasons (rainy and
sunny), meaning that the project must be ready on the possible extremities of
this kind of climate (el-Niño and la-Nina).
The Philippines
is in from of the Pacific Ocean, therefore it is prone to tropical typhoons (19
typhoons per year), extreme weathers and tsunamis. The building must be strong
enough for these circumstances.
The Philippines
is a part of the pacific rim of fire, it has 18 active volcanoes. Therefore it
is prone to earthquakes and possible volcano eruptions. The building must be
strong enough to stand in these circumstances.
The Philippines
has a very harsh environment due to its geological location, it being in the
tropical region, Pacific Ocean and Pacific Rim of fire. The building in this
type of environment must have strong foundations, and higher resistance and
capacity for these circumstances (el-Niño and la-Nina, typhoons, earthquakes, volcano
eruptions). Although there are no buildings that are 100% resistant for those
circumstances, but the building must be strong enough to lessen its effects.
