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 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,
(A) Jubail Governor’s Office. (B) Dawa office. (C) Patrol Police Office.
Each of the buildings is well described in the Architectural section of this DBR.
4.2.2.1 Sub-Structure
For all of 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 the 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 design stage package.
4.2.2.3 Super-Structure
At this current design stage various framing systems of the buildings are proposed
and recommended for the review and approval. The proposals are intended to finalize
the best possible framing system.
Option 1: Hollow Core Slabs having a thickness in the range of 150 mm to 250
mm are proposed to be supported by reinforced concrete beam-column frames
having span bays at intervals in the range of 6.0 m to 12.0 m; however a long
span reinforced concrete dome is proposed above roof level.
B. Dawa Office:
Following two options are presented for the structural system of this ground +
one storey building.
Option 1: Hollow core slabs having a thickness in the range of 150 mm to 250
mm are proposed to be supported by reinforced concrete beam-column frames
having span bays at intervals in the range of 6.0 m to 12.0 m, However a long
span reinforced concrete dome is proposed above roof level.

Site Investigation
A. Jubail Governor’s Office Building Site
It is a vacant lot and there is no existing facility to be demolished, the lot is uneven
there is existing trees and bushes that is favourable to be a landscaping aspect of
the site and there is an existing access road and easement road with parking that
is potentially the access to entrance the building. The site has existing utilities like
transformer, high voltage electrical manhole, telecom manhole that can be a tie in
point of access to the building. Generally, the whole site is surrounded by a fence
that serves as a protective measure for all buildings situated in the site.
Energy Conservation
A. General (Applicable for all buildings)
The Proposed Building is potentially oriented to minimize the afternoon heat of the
sun and acquire the natural wind flow, the building is designed with shades and
louvers; and for the building envelope; Double –glazed low-e (medium solar gain)
argon gas fill on powder coated aluminum frame (U-VALUE=0.33 Btu/h. ft². ºF) for
the windows, 350mm 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 lessen the requirements for Air

conditioning system. The building is also design with enough window opening, and
skylight to provide penetration of natural light to help reduce the consumption of
electricity in terms of lighting.
Water Conservation
A. General (Applicable to all buildings)
The Jubail Governor’s Office 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 building except Police Patrol Office building, Instead of
using individual electric water heater as a source of hot water and due to several
number of fixtures that will require hot water, application of 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 Police Patrol Office building due to a few numbers of fixtures that will
require hot water application of individual water heater system is suited to provide the
hot water demand of the building. Standard electric water heater with the minimum
KW rating will be used as a measure of energy conservation.
Noise Reduction
A. General ( Applicable to all buildings)
The layout of the proposed building is 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 designed trees
that serves as the buffer Zone we are enabled to minimize the noise coming from the
vehicles in the adjacent road near the site.
Environmental Parameters
A. Jubail Governor’s Office Building Site
There is an existing main road at the east part of the site, and it might cause some
air and noise pollution to the facility. AE recommends putting more trees that will
serves as a noise barrier and air filter to lessen the air and noise pollution.
