Inside and Outside of Saudi Arabia Gratitude In appreciation and gratitude to The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud And H.R.H. Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Crown Prince, Deputy Premier, Minister of Defence & Aviation and Inspector General For their continuous support and gracious consideration, the Saudi Building Code National Committee (SBCNC) is honored to present the first issue of the Saudi Building Code (SBC). Saudi Building Code Requirements 201 Architectural 301 Structural – Loading and Forces 302 Structural – Testing and Inspection 303 Structural – Soil and Foundations 304 Structural – Concrete Structures 305 Structural – Masonry Structures 306 Structural – Steel Structures 401 Electrical 501 Mechanical 601 Energy Conservation 701 Sanitary 801 Fire Protection 901 Existing Buildings SBC 301 2007 Loading and Forces /1 PREFACE PREFACE The Saudi Building Code (SBC) is a set of legal, administrative and technical regulations and requirements that specify the minimum standards of construction for building in order to ensure public safety and health. A Royal Decree dated 11th June 2000 order the formation of a national committee composed of representatives of Saudi universities and governmental and private sectors. In September 2001, the Council of Ministers approved the general plan of the National Committee to develop a national building code for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To choose a base code for the Saudi Building Code, a number of Codes have been studied. The National Committee has been acquainted with the results of the national researches and the international codes from the U.S.A., Canada and Australia, also, the European Code, and Arab Codes. It has also sought the opinions of specialists in relevant Saudi universities, governmental and private sectors through holding a questionnaire, a symposium and specialized workshops, in the light of which, (ICC) has been chosen to be a base code for the Saudi Building Code. The International Code Council (ICC) grants permission to the Saudi Building Code National Committee (SBCNC) to include all or any portion of material from the ICC codes, and standards in the SBC and ICC is not responsible or liable in any way to SBCNC or to any other party or entity for any modifications or changes that SBCNC makes to such documents. Toward expanding the participation of all the specialists in the building and construction industry in the Kingdom through the governmental and private sectors, the universities and research centers, the National Committee took its own decisions related to code content by holding specialized meetings, symposiums and workshops and by the help of experts from inside and outside of Saudi Arabia. The technical committees and sub-committees started their work in April 2003 to develop the Saudi Building Code that adapts the base code with the social and cultural environment, the natural and climatic conditions, types of soil and properties of materials in the Kingdom The Saudi Building Code Structural requirements for Loads and Forces (SBC 301) were developed based on the standards of the American Society of Civil Engineers (SEI/ASCE). The American Society of Civil Engineers, through its Structural Engineering Institute (ASCE/SEI), grants permission to the SBCNC to utilize as reference ASCE 7-02 and ASCE 7-05 in the SBC and to include within the SBC provisions and materials from ASCE 7- 02 and ASCE 7-05 modified by SBCNC. ASCE/SEI is not responsible for any modifications or changes that SBCNC has made to the provisions to accommodate local conditions. The development process of SBC 301 followed the methodology approved by the Saudi Building Code National Committee. Many changes and modifications were made and the most important one was adding the seismic contour maps for Saudi Arabia and some parts and items relating to seismic design outside the intensity of the seismic belt of the Kingdom have been deleted. Only SI Units were used through out the Code. SBC 301 2007 Preface/1 NATIONAL COMMITTEE The Saudi Building Code National Committee Mohammad H. Al-Nagadi, MSc.

The Fallons urge guests to register by June 1, 2008, but note that hotel reservations should be made as soon as possible to take advantage of special prices available now.

Fellow Aramcons, After more than seven months in my role here at AOC, I now feel like I have my feet well and truly under the table. As Managing Director, I can appreciate just how important a role our offices play outside of the Kingdom and how relations are maintained with former Aramco colleagues. I know that 2014 has proved a busy one on the reunion front, on both sides of the Atlantic. This year’s Ukaramcons reunion was particularly special, as it was the fifth and final occasion that Tom Henderson and his wife Eileen acted as hosts. I would like to personally thank them for their efforts over the years; these past reunions would not have been as successful without their valuable time and input. Also, a warm welcome to our new hosts Jim and Veronica Anderson and Michael and Sue Higgins, who I would like to thank in advance for the support they will be providing.
