1- Introduction:
The purpose of this report is to clarify the design criteria, design parameters and structural system.
The structural systems adopted for the proposed project compatible with the architectural design
philosophy. The design reflects the particular needs of any special functional parameters of the
project. The structural elements designed generally in accordance with Saudi Building Code(SBC)
and American Building code and there standards.
Project Description:
The project consists of two basements, ground, first and roof mainly it is containing living rooms,
bed room, and other services rooms, for more details please refer to arch drawings.
2- General objectives:
The objective of the structural design is to achieve the optimum structural system and requirement
as stipulated in the relevant codes and standards that will satisfy the following criteria:
2.3 Durability:
Concrete mixes and cover are to be provided to protect reinforcements against corrosion for
the soil exposure conditions to be determined based on geotechnical testing, to avoid attack
of deleterious salts on concrete, it is recommended that foundation, basement, and other
structure coming on contact with the soil or groundwater be constructed using ASTM Type
"V" cement .

Structural steel works shall be coated by protective coating in order to achieve a minimum
fire rating of two hrs.
2.3.2
2.4 Economy:
Shall be achieved by establishing a practical structural system that will yield the simplest
structural forms in terms of geometry and logic and will be well suited for existing local
practices, The structural system shall be conceptualized to emphasize the architectural
concept. The self-weight of the structure also designated, as dead load is an important
element in the economic structural design of building. This dead load accounts for
approximately (70%) of the total strength design of structural elements, An economic
structural design must therefore seek to reduce dead loads as much as possible, simplicity
of form reduces the cost of shuttering and labor.
2.5 Serviceability:
Serviceability as defined by relevant codes of practice SBC shall be checked and accounted
for in the design. Serviceability affects deflection of members, crack control, limitation of
vibration, acoustics and fire protection.
2.6 Constructability:
Ease and economy of construction will be high among the designer's priorities.
2.7 Specification.
Material and workmanship specification shall be based upon relevant SBC and American
standards.
ASCE 7-05: Minimum Design Loads for buildings and other Structures, for wind load.
SBC 301 : Saudi Building Code, Minimum load requirements for the design of buildings and
other structures.
3.2 Loadings:
Design dead load and live load as per ASCE 7-05 and SBC 301.
3.2.1 Dead loads:
Principle dead loads to be carried by the structure (except self-weight) are cladding,
floor finishes, partitions and landscaping loads. Allowance for these loads is to be
taken in consideration in the design.

except as follows:
(a) The load factor on L in Eq. (3-3) to (3-5) shall be permitted to be
reduced to 0.5 except for garages, areas occupied as places of public
assembly, and all areas where the live load value of 5 kN/m2 to be
consistent with the Saudi Building Code for Loading (SBC 301).
(b) The load factor on H shall be set equal to zero in Eq. (3-6) and (3-7) if
the structural action due to H counteracts that due to W or E. Where lateral
earth pressure provides resistance to structural actions from other forces, it
shall not be included in H but shall be included in the design resistance
Vertical Seismic Components:
The load effect resulting from the vertical component of the earthquake
ground motion and is equal to an addition of (0.2SDSD) to the dead load
effect, D, for Strength Design, and may taken as zero for Allowable Stress
Design.
Serviceability Limit State:
Combinations of actions for serviceability limit states shall be those
appropriate for the serviceability condition being considered. Appropriate
combination may include one or a number of the following loads:
1) D + L
2) D + L+S W or 0.7 E
3) D + L 0.5 W
4) 0.9D 0.7E
Where:
D: Dead Load
L: Live Load

Dead, live, wind, inclined thrusts and uplift, water table and earthquake

Types of settlements:
Uniform and differential, Differential settlement must be minimized, depends
on site soil conditions and distribution of loads on columns that supporting
the building.
Foundation design:
In this project depend on the soli investigation with soil bearing capacity
=400 KN/m2 the designer will be use wall footing and isolation footing .
5.2.2 Beams:
In-situ beams provide support: they transfer loads from slabs to columns and
walls. They offer strength, robustness and versatility, e.g. In accommodating
cladding support details. In overall terms, wide flat beams are less costly to
construct than narrow deep beams; the deeper and narrower, the more
costly they are. Beams and columns of the same width give maximum

Retaining walls, water tanks, water ways, water features, and other structural works will be
designed as required by the landscape requirements and will be designed as watertight concrete
elements in accordance BS 8007 " Design of concrete structures for retaining aqueous liquids " to
reduce cracking and thus reducing corrosion of steel.
