| Resource Title | Typhoon adaptive architecture : Libmanan International Airport Development |
| Date Issued | April 2010 |
| Abstract | The study focuses in the possibility of unity of typhoon resiliency and environmentally-sound feature adopted for a new airport development project in Libmanan, Camarines Sur. This research will consequently organize a body of knowledge that will support the development of a conceptual framework for the design of a typhoon adaptive airport facility. The objective is to look into the current situation of airports in terms of operation, condition and maintenance of the airport terminal that will then lead to an advance advance design solution fit for a region with extreme weather condition, typhoon in particular. The study can then serve as a reference material for typhoon adaptive concepts and possibly to aid with the on-going feasibility study of the Libmanan Airport Development to have a more sustainable airport facility. The research subjects in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City as a topic for a case study and looks into the possible typhoon adaptive opportunities for the passenger terminal by investigating the conditions and damages incurred during the typhoon Milenyo (Xangsane) in September of 2006. The major damage as shown by the report is found in the roof of the terminal particularly the glass skylight and waterproofing membrane. The existing concepts in books regarding wind engineering, severe storm and architectural aerodynamics serves as guiding concepts directing the study to creating a conceptual design development of a typhoon adaptive airport terminal. |
