Thesis Comparative Analysis

The document presents a series of comparative studies focused on sustainable construction materials and designs in the Philippines, addressing various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each study highlights specific gaps in existing research, such as the performance of urban waste materials in concrete, sediment-based blocks, and the effectiveness of retrofitting in seismic zones. The overall aim is to enhance the mechanical performance, durability, and resilience of construction practices in response to local environmental challenges.

1.

"Comparative Analysis of the Compressive and Flexural Strength of Concrete with Crushed
Glass vs. Crumb Rubber as Partial Fine Aggregate Replacements: A Case Study from Quezon
City and Caloocan Dumpsites"

 SDGs: 11 (Sustainable Cities), 12 (Responsible Consumption)

 Focus: Evaluate which waste material yields better mechanical performance and
workability.

 Gap: Few direct comparisons of common urban waste materials in local concrete
applications.

2. "Comparative Structural Performance of Sediment-Based vs. Conventional Hollow Blocks


for Flood-Resilient Housing in Macabebe, Pampanga"

 SDGs: 6 (Clean Water), 11 (Sustainable Communities)

 Focus: Side-by-side structural, durability, and cost analysis of blocks made from dredged
river silt vs. commercial blocks.

 Gap: Lack of performance comparison of locally produced sediment-based blocks.

3. "Comparative Lifecycle Assessment of Concrete Using Ordinary Portland Cement vs.


Volcanic Ash Blended Cement from Taal for Public Infrastructure in Pampanga"

 SDGs: 9 (Infrastructure), 13 (Climate Action)

 Focus: Mechanical tests + CO₂ emission analysis across both mixtures.

 Gap: Minimal LCA studies of cement alternatives using locally available materials in
Central Luzon.

4. "Comparative Study on the Seismic Behavior of Retrofitted vs. Unretrofitted Low-Rise


Reinforced Concrete School Buildings in Pampanga Using Nonlinear Static Analysis"

 SDGs: 4 (Quality Education), 11 (Safe Cities), 13 (Resilience)

 Focus: Use structural models to simulate and compare earthquake resilience.

 Gap: Limited studies on retrofitting effectiveness for public schools in seismic zones.
5. "Comparative Evaluation of Bamboo-Reinforced vs. Steel-Reinforced Concrete Beams for
Low-Cost Housing Applications in Rural Pampanga"

 SDGs: 9 (Innovation), 12 (Sustainable Consumption)

 Focus: Analyze moment capacity, deflection, and cost-benefit in actual beam casting.

 Gap: Rare direct comparison of treated bamboo vs. steel reinforcements for rural
Philippine housing.

6. "Comparative Durability of Concrete Pavement Using Recycled Construction Waste


Aggregates from NCR vs. Quarry-Sourced Aggregates from Pampanga"

 SDGs: 12 (Responsible Consumption), 13 (Climate Action)

 Focus: Performance-based testing of recycled vs. natural aggregates for road use.

 Gap: Little applied research comparing recycled aggregates to regional quarry


aggregates in Luzon.

7. "Comparative Analysis of Elevated vs. Ground-Level School Building Designs in Flood-Prone


Areas of Coastal Pampanga Using Finite Element Method"

 SDGs: 4 (Education), 11 (Community Resilience)

 Focus: Simulate flood impact loads, structural stability, and long-term maintenance
needs.

 Gap: Lack of structural modeling comparison between traditional and elevated school
designs.
