4.2. Structural Systems

4.2.1 Introduction

This design basis report lists the general design criteria that will be used in the calculations for the design of structural items involved in this task. This design criterion complies with all relevant Jubail Royal Commission codes and standards, latest editions of engineering and industry codes and Saudi Arabian government codes.

The function and occupancy of the different buildings is divided into three major categories (1) RC warehouses with sub-categories of multifunctional buildings. (2) Administration building for RC hospital. (3) Al-Danah Sports centre.

A. Warehouse Building

As explained above; this site is proposed to consist of multiple buildings with more than one category, likewise four warehouses, a yard structure, New Administration building and a labour station.

Four Warehouses WH1, WH2, WH3 and WH4: are proposed for the storage at ground level only. A yard building is proposed for the maintenance and repair work. The space function of the labour station building is to serve the sitting, dining and praying facility to workers. The title of the administration building defines its space function consisting of office rooms, meeting rooms and reception area.

Areas for each of the buildings are mentioned below;WH1 = 4000 m2. WH2 = 7000 m2.WH3 = 1350 m2.WH4 = 3800 m2.Yard = 2300 m2.Labor station = 360 m2New Admin building = 515 m2.

B. Administration Building for RC Hospital

The building consists of Ground + Mezzanine and Fist floor to serve the functions of office rooms, meeting rooms, data centre, reception areas and the auditorium.

Area at ground = 520 m2Mezzanine Floor area = 540 m2.First Floor area = 580 m2.

Page 31 of 105


C. Al-Danah Sports CenterThe building space function is to provide facility to the spectators as well the sportsmen. The building consists of open space in the form of ramp (sitting area), rooms and lobby. In addition, there is provision of a standalone steel space frame serving as shade structure to the spectators.

Approximate area at Ground floor = 300 m2.

4.2.2 Structural System

For all of the buildings mentioned above; Soil bearing pressure and other subsurface information for use in foundation design shall be in accordance with the recommendations of the geotechnical investigation report. However due to unavailability of the geotechnical report at this current design stage, the foundation is designed for assumed bearing capacity of 100 KN/m2. The proposed foundation system is as follows:For most of the building area the foundation system is spread footings, but at some locations combined footings are proposed to avoid overlapping OR any closely spaced isolated footings. For more details refer to the structural drawings.The assumed minimum foundation embedment depth is 1.375 m below the bottom of slab on grade.Reinforced concrete grade beams are applied at building perimeter in order to carry the exterior composite CMU walls. Interior grade beams will only be provided where it is deemed necessary to increase the strength of the structure. Interior CMU walls shall be supported by the thickened slab on grade.Reinforced concrete slabs-on-grade is applied. The slabs-on-grade are non-structural and mildly reinforced with welded wire fabric.The atmosphere, soil, and water conditions in Jubail Town are severely corrosive. The construction of foundations and superstructures include competent corrosion mitigation measures to achieve long-term durability. At this design stage, Coal tar epoxy coating will be applied to all the structural concrete elements below finished grade.

For more details of the proposed sub-structure system, refer to the attached SE drawings with this current design stage package.

4.2.2.1 Civil-Structural WorkFor any of the Structural works outside the main building (likewise manholes, foundation of the electrical poles, retaining walls, etc), Concept is presented in our Civil drawings

Page 32 of 105


4.2.2.2 Super-StructureAt this current design stage various framing systems of the buildings are proposed and recommended for review and approval. The proposals are intended to finalize the best possible framing system.

A. Warehouse Buildings (WH1, WH2, WH3, WH4 and YARD)

Considering the occupancy and clear span requirements of the building, a steel structure system seems to be the most feasible option for this building. Mainly; super structure consist of main frame with tapered columns and tapered rafters spaced at regular bays of 7.0 meter, perpendicular to main frame are provided bracing beams on the edges, diagonal bracing to edge frames, strut beams at certain interval, perlins at certain intervals and cross bracings at roof. An insulating sandwich panel is proposed to be installed at the roof.

B. Administration Building

Following are three options presented for the structural system of this rectangular shape single storey building having overall plan dimensions of 33.0mX15.0m.

Option1: Hollow core Slabs having thickness in the range of 150mm to 200mm are proposed to be supported by reinforced concrete beam-column frames having span bays at intervals in the range of 5.0m to 8.0m.

Option2: Flat plate roof supported by columns alone, no drop panels are used. If required; shear links will be proposed to control the punching shear. The proposed system has the advantage of clear floor height for the Architecture and no clear allowance for service like HVAC to pass through without offsets.

Option3: Structural steel system consisting of Wide flanged columns and beams for the main frame supporting perlins and the metal deck filled with light weight concrete is proposed. The system simply forms approximately 15.0 m bays spaced 6.5 meter intervals. For the lateral stability portal frames are introduced to limit the sway within permissible limits.

Recommendation: Option no.3 requires the least number of columns and footings, therefore considering the economy and simplicity of construction; this structural framing option seems to be most feasible, hence recommended.

C. Al-Danah Sports Center The framing system of the building is governed by its architectural proposal and the usage. The framing system is divided into two parts, one is; Reinforced concrete column, solid beam-slab & retaining walls and the other is; steel structure space frame requires as architectural feature as well a shade structure.

Water Supply: Fire Water System is to be tied-in to the Potable/Fire water loop around the building. Refer to civil site for fire and potable water drawing.

Fire extinguisher: Fire extinguisher rating (A:B:C) is used for General Areas and rating (A:20B:C) is used for chemical hazard areas. CO2 Fire Extinguishers are used in Electrical and Telecom rooms where Electrical Fire hazards are expected.

Fire alarm systems according to NFPA72

4.4.1.3 System Operational Philosophy and Controls Description

A. GeneralA typical fire suppression water sprinkler system as installed in many buildings includes an array of individual fire sprinklers which are supplied with water through a main conduit and various branch conduits.

Page 49 of 105


B. OperationThe individual fire sprinklers are generally provided with a fusable link that melts when the ambient temperature reaches a predetermined level indicative of a fire. The melting of the member opens the fire sprinkler to spray water in order to suppress the fire. The individual fire sprinklers are provided with fusable link which melt so that the spray of water will be limited to the region of the building where the fire is present. In this way, the extent of water damage may be minimized.

B – 1 AlarmFire suppression systems often times have one or more alarms that detects the flow of water through the main conduit and indicates that a fire has started. The alarm typically triggers an audible signal to warn occupants of the building that a fire has started and may also send an appropriate signal directly to a fire department.

B – 1-1 Minimum water flow required to trigger alarmFlow of water, even from a single sprinkler is sufficient to move the member and trigger the alarm. Often times, such water flow indicator alarms are electronically connected to an audible alarm single generator as well as to light panels to indicate the area in which the fire has occurred.

B – 2 The community water supply system.Fire suppression systems which include water sprinklers are oftentimes in fluid communication with the community water supply system or with whatever source of potable water is available in the vicinity. The water within the fire suppression system itself, however, can remain within the piping for a considerable period of time and is considered to be stagnant water.

Note: Water supply lines to building are to be provided with back flow preventers, Refer to civil site drawings for fire and potable water drawing.

B – 3 The fire department

In addition, a pump provided by the fire department will be connected to an inlet in communication with the fire suppression system in order to provide additional water and/or pressure in the event of a fire.

In case of fire, a fire alarm system sends an alarm, at which time the trained occupants shall use fire Extinguishers to fight fire while the others execute the evacuation plan, until fire department officials arrive.

7. DESIGN ANALYSIS

7.1 Site Investigation


During site visit and data gathering, it was observed and identified that the site has an existing gasoline pump station, which will be demolish as per the recommendations for the proposed Administration Building for the RC Hospital. The site is very ideal for the proposed project because of its proximity to the hospital. With the availability of the street and the parking spaces surrounding the lot, there will be little difficulty for the users to access the facility.

B. RC Warehouses

The site in Camp 9 is consistent with the operations as a support facility warehouse for the RC. There are available existing utilities on the site and some of which are not

Page 100 of 105


usable. The existing warehouses excluding the main warehouse will be demolished to permit an increase in the capacity of storing different materials. The site is bounded by a perimeter fence surrounding the property that provides security and privacy.

On the other side of the Camp 9 is the transportation site which is use presently as a parking area for a large number of buses. This site is also recommended to be part of the proposed rehabilitation of the warehouses and was included in the scope of study report proposals.

C. Additional Service Facilities for Al Danah Sports Center

This facility is being abandoned in terms of maintaining its good capability to serve users with their sporty habits and exercise. There are available and existing utilities around the site but there is the need to rehabilitate and provide new line of utilities for developing the facility. The designer wanted to locate the proposed grandstand along the front line of the lot for it to be the location of the administrative management and accessible for the user. Combining with the other proposed services stands on one building. It was also observe that there are deteriorated landscape areas also that in need of recovery that would add enhancement to the aesthetical and environmental consideration.

7.2 Energy Conservation

In general the Proposed Buildings are potentially oriented to minimize the afternoon heat of the sun and acquire the natural wind flow, the buildings is designed with recessed wall for the purposed of shades; Double –glazed low-e (medium solar gain) argon gas filled on powder coated aluminum frame (U-VALUE=0.33 Btu/h. ft². ºF) for the windows, 350 mm thick wall with R value of 13h.ft.². ºF /Btu (2.288 m².K/W) and Inverted Roofing system with R value of 30h.ft.². ºF /Btu (5.28 m².K/W) that serves as a protection and heat penetration in order to prevent the potential heat gain of the building from the harsh environment outside that will lessen the requirements for the air conditioning system. The building is also designed with enough window opening, and skylight to provide penetration of natural light to help reduce the consumption of electricity in terms of lighting.

For the Propose is a Multiple Single Storey Buildings / Warehouses, the buildings are designed with the First Layer 230mm thk concrete wall composed of the following, 120 mm thk. solid precast internal layer, 50mm thk, Polystyrene XPS insulation, R value=13h.ft.². ºF /Btu (1.75M². ºF /Btu), 60mm thk. solid precast external layer. Second Layer, 6mm thk. cement board., 200 mm width x2 mm thk. light gauge cold formed steel Z- girth, 80mm thk. Polysterene XPS insulated aluminum panel, R-value=13h.ft.². ºF /Btu (1.75m². K/W) and generally the Roofing system is 150mm thk. Polystyrene XPS insulation aluminum panel R-value=30h.ft². ºF/Btu (5.25m².K/W) attached to 200mm width x 2mm thk. light gauge cold formed steel C- purlins that serves as a protection and heat penetration in order to prevent the potential heat gain of the building from the harsh environment. The building is also designed with enough windows opening with louvers to provide penetration of natural light to help reduce the consumption of electricity in terms of lighting.

7.3 Water Conservation

A. General (Applicable to all Buildings)

The proposed Administration Building for the RC Hospital consisting of ground and first floor are provided with several toilets. Cold and hot water supply system will be provided in each toilet to supply water demand for all fixtures. In compliance with Water Conservation measures, low flow water consumption flush valve will be used in all water closets, low flow faucets for lavatories, low flow faucet for pantry sink and low flow shower heads for showers. For other buildings, instead of using individual electric water heater as a source of hot water and due to a large number of fixtures that will require hot water, application of a Centralized Solar water heating system, with electric water heater storage back-up with heating elements will be suited as a measure of conserving energy to supply the hot water demand of the building. In Warehouse buildings due to the small number of fixtures that will require hot water, application of an individual water heater system is suited to provide the hot water demand of the building. Standard electric water heaters with the minimum KW rating will be used as a measure of energy conservation.

7.4 Noise Reduction


The layouts of the proposed buildings are designed as per segregation of different areas according to its function to minimize the disturbance of the noisy areas from the offices. In the noisy areas the wall is designed as per the Royal Commission sound isolation criteria for the separation of each space. With the help of landscaping trees will serve as the buffer Zone and will help minimize the noise coming from the vehicles on the road adjacent to the site.

7.5 Environmental Parameters


Given the actual scenarios of the location of facility, noise never fails to disturbance. In planning consideration, noise reduction will be effective if the designer has analyze the proper segregation of different spaces within the building according to its function if it creates disturbing sound or silence. To minimize this noise, walls will be designed according to the design parameters provided by the Royal Commission. Another natural solution to provide for minimizing the sound is to buffer it and make it bounce against the building noise coming from exterior elements and by providing landscape.

B. RC Warehouses

There is an existing main road adjacent to the site that serves as the main thoroughfare and may cause air and noise pollution to the facility. AE recommends providing a fence around the site for protective measures and as a buffer for the noise factor.


The existing facility usually experiences noisy activities, which cannot be avoided especially during special occasions or activities in the facility. To provide a more convenient place to practice and perform athletic exercises, AE recommends rehabilitating and developing the landscape of the facility by planting additional trees and plants. This will buffer and absorb noise with the area. This trees and plants will also provide cool air and shade to the users.

7.6 Lighting Requirements


All lighting fixtures shall consist of t5 (14 watts and 28 watts) fluorescent lamps with high power factor electronic ballasts and with compact fluorescent lamps.
