I have already sent this comment to the DPWH but I want to share this to all of you so you will know something. 🙂
TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN
The “Blue Book” is your set of standards I believe. Do you have any regular revision(s) of the said book? I suppose you do have and you should because every industry should grow and cope up with the trend of technology. 🙂
I am sure that you have heard of special additives being used to enhance the property of the concrete. So, are these products already included in your revisions? I think not. Too bad. Every time I approached an Engineer from the DPWH, I get frustrated because I always get the same reply…and that is..”I can not use that product because it is not included in the blue book.“
Well, how come these products are being used in Taipei 101 in Taiwan, Petronas Towers in Malaysia, Sears Tower in Chicago, Jin Mao Building in Shanghai, and other skyscrapers around the world? Are they dumb or stupid enough to try these products for their construction projects? Of course not. So, what about Philippines? Do we have a plan to build some of the worlds tallest skyscrapers.?
This photo shows the Burj Dubai (Arabic: برج دبي “Dubai Tower”) that will soon be the supertall skyscraper in mid 2009. It is now currently under construction in the “New Downtown” of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Busy cguro sa kikik sa mga projects nila. 🙂

Wrong post sensya.hehe
Hi! Do you have a copy of the blue book? If so can I ask for a copy? Email me at yakiba_08(at)yahoo.com for more details. thanks
Abigail,
Why do you need it? It’s not being used in actual application anyway. 🙂
Hi! I have a research regarding our current standards and it’s comparison to foreign application/standards. Can you help me in regard to this? Thanks.
I am eager to have a copy of DPWH Blue Book. I already asked their personnel, but I received a word ” wla ako authority to distribute”. If is sold, I prefer to buy.
Since such blue book is beyond my reach, can I personally ask you a PDF copy. You can send it to my e-mail ad : michael_villaluna@yahoo.com
thanks in advance
Michael,
Inutil kasi yang DPWH eh. 🙂
Wala rin akong copy even the PDF. A friend of mine bought his mga thousands of pesos yata. 🙂
Di na man ceguro inutil. Marami lang tanga! Blue Book lang di alam?

im planning to get a material engineering exam..how can i have a blue book of dpwh???thank you..
I bought my copy of the blue book VolumeII (Highways, Bridges and Airports), the latest version (2004) at the Bureau of Research and Standards (BRS) along EDSA, near GMA-Kamuning MRT station in Manila. I forgot exactly how much it is but it should be between Php300-600.
Jamelein, I have attended a seminar from DPWH and they told us that a 2010 version will be out this December. Maybe thats the reason they are selling the 2004 version so cheap at P300-600..??. 🙂
To all who have been looking for this not so good but quite in-demand-book (i just dont know why), I can get one this time and scan it and send to someone interested. Hows that sounds? 🙂
Hi, Thant would be of great help for all of us. Please send me a copy also (lhars_22@yahoo.com).

ang blue mao na ang bible sa mga taga PDWH mao nga dili na nila idistribute sa public ky mahadlok sila ug mahibaw an sa uban ang ilang sayop. . . siempre if you know whats rigth then they can’t hide thier foolishness. puyra sa mga maayo lang.
Hey, that’s not true. Renirequire nga lahat ng contractors na magkaroon ng copy nyan.
ako bai taga dpwh sad ko kaniadto, dili sad tanan korakot, daghan sang bootan labi ug mahadlokon sa Ginoo. Kadaghana gud sa mga tawo di mahadlok makasala mao magpatuyang gyud ug pangawat basta makakita ug higayonmakakawat. dili sa DPWH lang halos tanan ahensya sa gobierno or pribado kay inborn na nga kinaiya sa tawo nga mobuhat gyud ug sala. abi kay minilyon ang gikawat ni talpulano mao ra ang akusahan nga nangawat? nya ang imo peos peso lang di lang nimo kuentahon? Kamo nga cge ug yawyaw nag korakot ang taga dpwh basa kuno mo ug bible nya hinoktuki kong dili ba sad mo kawatan.
DLI RA KAWATAN…MANG CHICKS PA GUD NA SILA UG BABAE NA NAAY BANA..NKA GUBA NA SILA SA KAUGMA ON SA PAMILYA..
yeah, tama u. kung ang tawo gusto mangurakot, bisag asa, kung naay pagkakataon, mu-grab jud sa opportunity.
Kung ikaw nagtuo na tanang taga dpwh corrupt, sala na man sad na. nakasala ka sa imong hunahuna. Luoy sad ang mga naa sa dpwh nga nagtinarong ug trabaho baya, unya apil-apilon lang ug akusahan.
grabe na kaau ang dpwh karon. pagawas nila nga dako savings c pinoy thru “competitive bidding” kuno!! they are making fool of themselves! pity them! Huhuhuuu

been trying to locate and buy a copy with no luck.. thanks..
the 2004 blue book is under revision due to new construction materials that are needed to be included and updated. but until the latest are not yet release, the latest edition is still acceptable. for those who are saying something against the department regarding the new materials that were used on some of the great infra on other countries, we do have them also but are still under conditional status. conditional because its applicability is stll under obsevation on some pilot project. once it passed the criteria, it would then be included n the regular specification and standards. fyi

It’s very embarrassing all the comments here. Since Philippines did not try to update project specification adapting latest innovative technology specially concrete and steel and even test procedures.
In this forum, mostly know only about the blue book volume II. Eventually blue book comprise into three volumes, volume I – about contracts, vol II roads, bridges, ports and highways, vol. III for buildings and I think includes water works. I have seen volume III issued in some municipalities. And there were many updates about all this volumes. Quality in materials and craftsmanship are very essential considering we are exposed to severe and dangerous zone (earthquakes, extreme weather exposure etc.). The department heads of the DPWH must be serious about the quality,
Maybe only the blue is familiar, but before the blue there is the so called red book. this is very excellent book..guide and specification in designing roads and bridges, only few have this book.
I have work in one of the iconic project here in KSA which is the King Abdulazis Aiport Project, but the approached in technicality is very great, not just by sticking in the specifications. Doctors in different engineering fields applies “latest of the art” technology deviating from spec but with equivalent quality, many test revised according to the applicability, logic and scientific explanations.
I appreciate all in this forums wants quality change, quality of the implementers,
good luck guys, we will hope there are changes the soonest., specs supposedly not for sale “it should be a public domain” such that everybody can benefited.. specially in our country for which quality is taken for granted……
Thanks for the info and for dropping by.
The entire Philippines is waiting for that “BIG” change. 🙂
Let’s hope for a brighter and better future. 🙂
One thing that is nice is you can see how people have reviewed the roof gutters that they have
and be able to avoid some of the pit falls that can happen with cheep or poorly made roof
gutters. Vuba Supplies is a top notch service provider for all your flooring
necessities including a range of garage floor paints,
anti slip paints, wood floor paints, roof tile paint , self levelling compound , garage
floor tiles and so on. Any harm requirements to be used care of correct
away and not left.
Ano po ba ang advantage pag accredited materials engineer? balak ko din po kasi magtake. kaso baka di ko din po magamit
someone has review center for materials eng. u may visit them @ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Materials-Engineer-Review/884019214947999.

There is a big advantages for taking accreditation for Materials Engineer. DPWH formulated and implemented a certain Department Orders requiring competent Materials Engineer to Handle any projects covered and implemented by the Phil Govt. this is to ensure “Quality”. Materials Engineers for Civil Work is a part of civil engineering discipline that are conversant regarding Materials Testing, Interpreting test results, its application and moreover understanding materials behavior. To become accredited ME is very useful.
DPWH established two levels of Materials Engineers, ME-I and ME-II. ME-I as I’ve remembered but I think this was already superseded by many Department Orders, It has a certain limitations according to project cost, ME-I has to handle projects worth not more than 500M Php whereas ME-II has no limitations. Obviously ME-II should be highly qualified and shall be competent.
To highlight something in my point of view and observations for which i think this msg./info might be helpful to our some fellow aspiring materials engineers.. I want to share this because I’m very much concerning and desiring improvements in our standards,,..
I would preferred that the DPWH should include the number of experience in accrediting ME-II. Passing the exam for ME-II without any acceptable experience may not warrant as a competent materials engineer. I have met some accredited ME-II but doesn’t know even how to prepare design mixes and interpret test results and even still practicing wrong test procedures, malpractice, etc..
Here in abroad, the research and application for specification are intensive, updated, enhanced and modified. There are committee assigned for specification development and enhancement. Best example is ASTM, This standards are updated annually, the ACI are updating codes – issued new codes and code revisions after the committee’s thorough research, progress and developments.
Generally to become competent materials engineer are most likely requires extensive experience and involvement in big projects and doing the right practice (but some ME-II proud to have several years of experience but still doing malpractice).
In my humble opinion, BRS (Bureau of Research and Standards) can help to fill this gap by providing/initiating something to augment Philippine quality standards. Distributing rightful technical information to all accredited ME for free and use the internet technology as tool for improvement. In this case we can build “quality engineers” and a very competitive esp. here in abroad.
I’ve remembered before, We’ve purchased a Blue Book Vol. II and order this standards to BRS thru DPWH regional office, but unfortunately, we received the latest standard accompanied by extra pages stippled/attached in the book “the errata”.. the separate pages “the errata” contains errors found in the standards with corresponding corrections, which means even in the preparation of National Standard Specs do not undergo quality reviews…and yet they allowed to release and sale the “National standards”..how much more its context..standards are dynamic, since construction industries are also dynamic..many things to mention…
Hope this msg are informative for the reader…
God Bless Philippines and to the Vicubs and keep up your good deeds.
Regards
