MalaysiaRailProject standardsProject confirmation required

Railway owner, authority and contractual technical standards

Project / Asset-owner Technical Requirements
Selection rationale

Railway projects combine owner requirements, contract specifications and approved international standards. Country alone does not determine a complete design basis.

Edition & applicability

Confirm for the specific railway。Identify the railway, owner, contract package and design stage before preparing the standards schedule.

VietnamBuildingsConcrete & prestressingOfficial source

Design standard for concrete and reinforced concrete structures

TCVN 5574:2018
Selection rationale

Provides a basis for Vietnamese concrete building design. Prestressed projects also require loading, seismic, material and construction acceptance standards.

Edition & applicability

Recheck current status in the official catalogue。This is a directory only. The local design lead and approving authority must confirm adopted editions.

VietnamBridgesBridge structuresStandards series

Highway bridge design standards series

TCVN 11823:2017 series
Selection rationale

Bridge design requires the applicable loading, analysis, concrete, foundation and seismic volumes. Prestressed concrete design cannot rely on one volume alone.

Edition & applicability

Verify each volume。Location, bridge type and authority requirements determine the final volumes and supplements.

VietnamRailProject standardsProject confirmation required

National technical regulations, transport standards and owner requirements

National Regulations + Employer's Requirements
Selection rationale

Conventional, urban and high-speed rail have different authorities and contract frameworks. Identify the railway type and owner requirements first.

Edition & applicability

Confirm for the specific railway。Provide railway type, line classification, owner and funding source.

PhilippinesBuildingsBuildings & structuresOfficial framework

Philippine National Building Code and approved referenced standards

NBCP + latest approved referral codes
Selection rationale

Building projects follow the National Building Code and its implementing rules, together with NSCP and other editions accepted by the approving authority.

Edition & applicability

Bridge design guidelines, criteria and standards

DPWH DGCS Volume 5:2015 + project supplements
Selection rationale

DPWH highway bridge projects commonly use the DGCS bridge volume with seismic guidance, the contractual AASHTO LRFD edition and project-specific provisions.

Edition & applicability

Referenced in official projects; check supplementary documents。Tender documents, authority orders and approved drawings determine the final basis.

Transport department, railway operator and contractual requirements

DOTr / Rail Operator Employer's Requirements
Selection rationale

Railway projects may adopt different international standards, lender requirements and owner specifications. Building or highway standards cannot simply replace railway contract standards.

Edition & applicability

Confirm for the specific railway。Provide the railway name, owner, contract package and design responsibility scope.

IndonesiaBridgesBridge loads & structuresOfficial catalogue

Bridge loading and seismic design

SNI 1725:2016 + SNI 2833:2016
Selection rationale

Bridge projects require both loading and seismic criteria. Prestressed concrete also requires material, detailing and authority technical documents.

Edition & applicability

Verify validity in the BSN catalogue。These two standards alone do not form a complete bridge design basis.
