Commercial building, columns distance apart?

Magandang araw, nasa initial stages kami ng pagpaplano ng pagpapagawa ng commerical building. Two-storey plus roofdeck. Ang tanong ko lang ay totoo ba na 5 meters apart lang dapat ang distance bawat poste/column? Kung saka-sakaling mas malayo tulad ng 8 meters, ano dapat ang gagawin? Kailangan ba lakihan ang size ng column? Tiningnan ko kasi sa National Building Code 1970s, wala naman nakalagay.

Pasensya na kung medyo off topic. Salamat sa tulong.

@ newsboycap, na alala ko tuloy yun long discussions ko with my archi/engr friends (over a bottle of beer :-)) when i was also designing the layout of our house - 2 storey split-type concrete house with roofdeck ... from my understanding, the 5m (for SG standard, it's 4m) distance between columns is just a rule of thumb and can be higher or smaller. the best approach is to design it (bldg) based on how you want the bldg to be and then let the archi together with the structural engineer determine the structure required for it - the soil condition, foundations, size of the columns, beams, slab and all its reinforcement to carry the load ... the structure needs to efficiently carry/transfer the load of the house/bldg to the ground, so if you want some columns to be more than 5m apart, then it's possible that the size/position of the columns/beams may be larger - puede rin same size but more reinforcement. it all depends on their (archis/engrs) calculations to make it structurally sound ... cheers

Boo!

Your concerns need to address sa Architect & Structural Engineer. The architect will design the plan based on your requirements and the architect will will coordinate sa Structural engineer and design the structure based on the plan. Kung malayo yun columns usually lalakihan yun size ng beams, columns at footing. The size will be determine by the structural engineer.

Kung mapapansin mo sa lower parking ng commercial building distance ng columns ay malalayo to maximize the area at to have a good flow ng traffic.

Got it. Thank you. I can't find anything on the web regarding this. There are some deep engineering stuff but who knows how to read that! OK, we'll mark this as next step in the process. For now, I guess we have to stick to what we want and not worry about the engineering part.
