DESIGN CRITERIA
1.0 REFERENCES
All work shall conform to applicable sections of the following listed codes, standards and reference documents:
2.0 LOADING
2.1 Live Load (LL)
Roof live load will be considered to act vertically upon the horizontal projection of the roof and
will conform to the requirement of the following table for minimum roof live loads
LL Tributary Area
kn/m2 m2
Weight of all permanent construction, such as floor, roof framing and covering materials.
Where :
With reference to SAES-A-112, the earthquake zone for Dhahran is zero, therefore no
earthquake load will be considered in the analysis.
4.0 DEFLECTION
4.1 With reference to UBC Table 16-D, the maximum allowable deflection shall not
exceed
the following :
4.2 Building lateral drifts shall be limited to the values shown below as per SAES-M-100 :
Buildings with metal panels, wall cladding and bare frames height / 100
Building with partition walls and / or sensitive architectural elements attached to height / 375
or in contact with the building frame.

5.0 STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
5.1 The footing to column connection will be generally taken as pinned connection except
otherwise mentioned on the project drawings. Mat foundation will be designed according to
anticipated column loads and available soil bearing capacity. Grade wall be provided at the
perimeter to carry the precast wall load. Slab on grade will be floating type 200mm thick., laid
on a moisture proof membrane on a compacted select fill as shown on project drawings.
Slab on grade will be structurally separated from other building elements, such as pedestals,
stairways, pipe penetrations and grade walls to minimize effect of differential movements.
Necessary isolation, contraction and construction joints will be provided to reduce shrinkage cracks.
5.2 Beam to column connections will be considered as moment connections to have a frame
system in one direction while the other direction will have vertical bracing/portal frames to
achieve stable structural system. Lateral loads such as wind loads will be resisted by frames
in one direction and wind bracings/portal frames in other direction.
5.3 Purlins or secondary beams will be considered simply supported by Main beams. Purlins
when cantilevering, shall be continuous over support.
5.4 Metal decking and concrete slab of the roof will be considered as a horizontal diaphragm and will
transfer wind loads to vertical bracing and portal frames.
6.0 MATERIALS
6.1 Foundations
- Concrete shall be of type I cement. The ready mixed concrete shall have
- a minimum specified compressive strength fc’ = 4000 psi after 28 days.
- Reinforcing Steel: All Reinforcing Steel shall be Epoxy Coated Deformed Bars conforming to
SASO-SSA 2/79 with minimum Yield Strength of 60,000 psi. (420Mpa).
- Hot rolled steel shapes and plates for columns and beams shall
be in accordance with
ASTM A-36.
- Anchor bolts in accordance with ASTM A-307.
- High strength bolts in accordance with ASTM A325.
- Machine bolts in accordance with ASTM A307.
- Rods for X-bracing in accordance with ASTM A-615.
- Walker System Metal decking in accordance with ASTM A-607 grade 50.

8.0 SOIL INFORMATION
With reference to Geotechnical Investigation File No. 2001/30, Saudi Aramco SFC
# 400550-064, “ subsurface exploration final report”, the following has been concluded :
1.0 75
- Percent of chlorides and sulfates in the soil vary between 0.02 to 0.07 % and
0.04 to 0.06 % respectively which require the foundation protection stated in Para.
6.0 mentioned above.
- The factor of safety against sliding should be taken as 1.5, and passive earth pressure from backfill
shall not be considered in computing the safety factor. The friction angle shall be as tabulated below :
Rock 34
Fill 27
