As per Geotechnical report from ‘Qatar Industrial Laboratories’ we found that in section 6.0:
Seismic importance factor (I) 1.00
A- Nominal wind speed (for 3 sec. gust) = 38 m/s = 87 mph.
As per ASCE-7-10 Section 26.7.3 we could conclude that the exposure used for this building is
(C). As per Geotechnical report from ‘Qatar Industrial Laboratories’ we found that:
A- 0.2 Second Spectral Acceleration (g) – Ss =0.147m/sec2 (page 7 section 5.0)
A- Wind direction factor, kd= 0.85 (Table 26.6-1) B- 0.1 Second Spectral Acceleration (g) – S1 =0.065 m/sec 2 (page 7 section 5.0)
B- Topographical factor, Kzt = 0.85 (Table 26.8-1)
C- Also we found that Qatar can be designed to Seismic Zone 1 (page 7 section 5.0)
C- Gust factor = 0.85 (section 26.9.1)
As the designed seismic zone is 1 (As per Geotechnical report),’’Generally, Seismic Activity with

11.5. CONTROL OF STRESSES due temperature change
Efforts would be exercised in order to limit the development of undue thermal
stresses within the structure by providing necessary expansion joints.
However, due to architectural and other structural consideration, if expansion joints
are not provided for a linear dimension of structure exceeding 60 m, the structural
elements would be designed and detailed in order to resist the thermal stresses.
11.6. Steel corrosion protection

The corrosion protection for the structural steelwork will be dependent on the
location of the steel elements within the building.
A high standard corrosion protection scheme is required for all exposed steelwork
and the minimum requirement is the long term protection.
11.7. CONSTRUCTION JOINTS

Isolation joints and construction joints would be located at appropriate locations,
designed and detailed to meet the functional requirement. Construction joints would
be minimized and contractors would be given a chance to propose as per their
construction sequence, in order to meet the approved construction program.

with the factor (Cd/I) which is (4/1.25) in service area case, also these two Fr = 0.62 x (λ) x sqrt(48) = 4.3 MPa

From the above, the maximum demand power allocated for the project
from the utility is around 9.5 MVA. However, the estimated maximum
demand load is 12.588 MVA which means there is a shortage of about 3
MVA.
The existing MV intake points are connected to two MV loops form

66/11KV Boulevard 1 primary substation.
The estimated demand power does not include the pending area, which
is part of plot H-1/HA-1 (i.e. the indicated power shortage does not
include the expected load of the pending area as well).
The MV intake points were superimposed to the project’s basement 1

level as shown in figure E-1. The two MV intakes HC-1 and HA-3 only will
be used for feeding the main two substations of the building due to
followings;
 Each point of them is from a different loop. Hence, the total

allocated power can be used through them
 Their closeness to the proposed substations’ locations.
The utility allocated power from the six MV intake points will be used
through points HC-1 and HA-3 as shown in figure E-1.

from wash basins, floor drains, bathtubs and showers. 3.8.3 Flow Equalization
Waste water will be collected in grey water tank and then is drawn by grey water feed The tank which receives raw grey wastewater generated from bathtubs, showers and
pump then treatment process is applied through the grey water treatment plant. And wash basins in the Raw Grey Water Collection Tank.
After treatment, the water will be stored in non-potable water tank. The Raw grey waste water is collected to dampen the variation in hydraulic & organic
load. Odor control dosing is given in to it to prevent the smell.
The wastewater is kept in Agitated condition to avoid settling of suspended solids along
with acid dosing to maintain the pH Value. Air is injected through submersible aerators in
the aeration tank.
Sodium hypochlorite solution is dosed in the chlorine contact tank then to the Final
settling tank. The aerated / settled grey wastewater is pumped into the media / carbon
Filters via the Filter Feed/ back wash Pumps. Level switches actuate the pumps.

The size and shape of a pool can be determined by the fountain effects or, the fountain
effect may be designed to fit the pool. Water depth should be no more than 300mm to
avoid the water feature to be classified as a swimming pool with all the requisite fencing
legislation
3.14.2 Fountain Nozzles & Fittings:
It is a general rule of thumb that the water feature effect height is the equivalent of half
of the radius of the pool. Some jets require a non-turbulent water supply in order to work
properly. Others require wave suppression when installed in circular pools in order to
prevent wave amplification
3.14.3 Fountain Pumps:
Pumps for water features are selected based on water and pressure requirements for
the combined fountain effects. Submersible pumps or dry pumps are available for use on
fountains. Dry pumps should be equipped with suction strainers.
3.14.4 Overflow drains:
Overflow drains can remove excess water brought on by rainfall or accidental overfilling
of the fountain. Overflow drains have two functions; they provide a means for removing
water in case water makeup should malfunction and they provide a means for removing
storm water. The preferable location for an overflow drain is in the wall of the pool where
it can be hidden. All overflow drains are designed to prevent large debris from clogging
the drain pipe.
