Structural Design
Introduction
PEC provides structural engineering design solutions for buildings and projects, considering technical requirements, structural loads, safety standards, and coordination with architectural and other engineering disciplines. Our approach supports structural performance, design integration, and project execution requirements
What is Structural Design?
It is the process of analyzing and planning the building's load-bearing structure to ensure its ability to resist various loads (weight, wind, earthquakes) without affecting its safety or performance. Structural design includes all basic elements such as foundations, columns, slabs, beams, and load-bearing walls.
Structural Design Services We Provide
- Study and analysis of soil and site conditions
- Selection of the most suitable structural system (concrete, steel, composite structures)
- Detailed design of structural elements (foundations, columns, beams, slabs)
- Design of earthquake, wind, and environmental condition resistance systems
- Calculation of loads and stresses according to approved codes
- Preparation of execution drawings and approved architectural panels
- Submission of official engineering reports for approvals
- Full coordination with architectural and mechanical design teams to ensure integration
Codes and Specifications We Follow
- Saudi Building Code (SBC)
- American Concrete Code (ACI)
- British Code (BS)
- International Seismic Code (UBC)
- Green Design Standards upon request
