SAUDI BUILDING CODES

SBC 301 provides three methods for calculating wind loads (par. 6.1.2) 1. Simplified Method (Section 7.1) 2. Analytical Method (Section 7.2) 3. Aerodynamic Method (Section 7.3) In SCADA Pro the first two methods have been integrated (The third method is based on experimental measurement results). So in the first section of the parameters you select one of the two methods to be used for the calculation of the wind loads. The first method applies only to buildings that meet specific criteria (par. 7.1.1). The next parameter concerns the selection of building category based on Table 1.6-1. By pressing the button next to the parameter the corresponding table is displayed.
