APPLICATION OF STANDARDS AND PUBLICATIONS
Applicable Standards and Publications
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
AISC is a professional organization for the fabricated steel

industry. The institute publishes manuals, textbooks,
specifications, and technical booklets.
The AISC Manual(s) of Steel Construction for (1) Allowable

Stress Design (ASD) and Plastic Design (PD) (Red and Green
books) and (2) Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
(Blue book) are the most commonly used AISC publications.
Manual(s) of Steel Construction - Each of these manuals

contains the following specifications and codes:
Specification for Structural Steel Buildings

AISC Code of Standard Practice
Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325
or A490 Bolts
These publications provide a uniform practice for the design of
steel-framed buildings. They provide design criteria for routine
use, but they are not intended to cover problems that occur
infrequently in the full range of structural design.
The manuals also provide information on the basis and

limitations of the various provisions of the design specifications
so that designers, fabricators, and erectors can make proper
use of the specifications.
Saudi Aramco Standards
The Saudi Aramco Standards are generally modifications to

industry standards that have been adopted by Saudi Aramco.
These modifications reflect requirements specific to Saudi
Aramco construction needs.
SAES-M-100, "Saudi Aramco Building Code" - The Saudi

Aramco Building Code (SABC) is made up of the Uniform
Building Code (UBC) in its entirety, except as modified by
SABC.

The purpose of the SABC is to provide minimum standards to

safeguard life or limb, health, property, and public welfare. The
SABC accomplishes this by regulating and controlling the
design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy,
and location and maintenance of all buildings and structures
within Saudi Aramco jurisdiction.
The provisions of the SABC apply to the construction, alteration,

moving, demolition, repair, and use of any building within Saudi
Aramco jurisdiction. Excluded from these provisions are work
located primarily in a public way, public utility towers and poles,
and mechanical equipment not specifically regulated in this
code.
SAES-M-100 is composed of numerous publications

and standards. In addition to specific Saudi Aramco
engineering standards and specifications, the
following organizations have publications referenced
and included as part of SAES-M-100.
American Concrete Institute (ACI)
American Institute for Steel Construction (AISC)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM)
Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO)
For a complete list of the specific publications, refer to SAES-M-

100, Section C.
SAES-M-001, "Basic Criteria for Miscellaneous Steel

Structures" - This standard covers mandatory requirements
governing the design of all steel structures except buildings,
communication towers, and offshore structures.
Section 4 of this standard provides guidance in selecting the

appropriate design criteria, including loading requirements.
In addition to specific Saudi Aramco engineering standards, the

following organizations have referenced publications included as
part of SAES-M-001:

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI)
American Association of State Highway and

Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
For a complete list of the specific publications, refer to SAES-M-

001, Section 4.
12-SAMSS-007, "Miscellaneous Steel Structures" - This

specification defines the requirements for design, material
selection, shop fabrication, marking for erection, and erection of
steel structures. Excluded from this specification are offshore
structures and structural steel buildings.
In addition to specific Saudi Aramco engineering standards, the

following organizations have publications referenced and
included as part of 12-SAMSS-007:
American Welding Society (AWS)
Steel Structures Paint Council (SSPC)
United States Federal Communications Commission

(U.S. FCC)

(Green book) contains the following specifications and codes:
Specification for Structural Steel Buildings: ASD

and PD
AISC Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings
and Bridges
Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325
or A490 Bolts
Also included are appendixes and commentaries. The
appendixes are integral parts of the specification. The
commentaries provide background information on the basis and
limitations of the specifications and codes.
Specification for Structural Steel Buildings: ASD and PD
The AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings: Allowable

Stress Design and Plastic Design is an alternative to the Load
and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel
Buildings.
This specification is organized with general design requirements

presented first, followed by chapters containing the
requirements for the design of different types of members and
connections. This organization is consistent with the Load and
Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel
Buildings in Part 6 of the Blue book.
The specification provides design criteria for the following types

of construction:
Frames
Tension members
Columns and beams
Plate girders
Composite construction
Connections and joints
The design criteria include allowable stress, member, and joint
proportioning requirements.

AISC Code of Standard Practice for Steel Buildings and Bridges
Based on existing trade practices, this code establishes the

relationship between contracted parties when the contractual
documents do not contain provisions to the contrary. The AISC
continuously surveys the structural steel fabrication industry to
determine standard trade practices and publishes them in this
Code of Standard Practice.
The code provides owners, architects, engineers, contractors,

and others involved in construction with a framework to
understand the acceptable standards in contracting for
structural steel construction. The Code of Standard Practice
should not replace the judgment of an experienced architect or
engineer who has the design responsibility for a structure.
The practices defined in the Code of Standard Practice have

been adopted by the AISC as the commonly accepted
standards of the structural steel fabricating industry. In the
absence of other instructions in the contract documents, the
trade practices defined in this Code of Standard Practice govern
the fabrication and erection of structural steel.
The code covers the following:
Materials
Plans and specifications
Shop and erection drawings
Fabrication and delivery
Erection
Quality control
Contracts

Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts
This specification relates to the design and installation of

structural joints using:
ASTM A325 high-strength bolts

ASTM A490 heat-treated high-strength bolts
This specification covers the design criteria and normal usage
and practices for high-strength bolts in steel-to-steel structural
connections. It does not cover the full range of structural
connections using threaded fasteners or the use of high-
strength bolts other than those included in ASTM A325 or ASTM
A490 specifications. In addition, the specification does not
cover the use of bolts in connections with materials other than
steel within the grip.
The specification includes requirements for:
Design strength of bolted connections
Design details
Installation and tightening of bolts
Inspection

AWS D1.1, "Structural Welding Code, Steel"
This code covers welding requirements applicable to welded

structures. The code is used with complementary codes or
specifications for the design and construction of steel structures,
such as those of the AISC. It does not apply to pressure
vessels or pressure piping. Welding requirements that are
common to all structures are covered in Sections 1 through 7
and in Section 11. Provisions applying exclusively to static
loading, dynamic loading, or tubular structures are included in
Sections 8, 9, and 10, respectively.
AISI Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members
This specification applies to the design of structural members

cold-formed to shape from carbon or low-alloy steel sheet, strip,
plate, or bar less than 1-in. thick and used for load-carrying
purposes in buildings. This specification may be used for
structures other than buildings provided appropriate design
allowances are made.

APPLYING SELECTED SAUDI ARAMCO STEEL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS,

STANDARDS, AND SPECIFICATIONS
SAES-M-100, "Saudi Aramco Building Code"
The Saudi Aramco Building Code (SABC), SAES-M-100, is

based on the Uniform Building Code (UBC) established by the
International Conference of Building Officials. SAES-M-100
consists primarily of a list of exceptions to the UBC to reflect
special Saudi Aramco requirements.
SADP-M-100, Commentary on the Saudi Aramco Building

Code, provides additional information on the basis and
limitations of SAES-M-100, reflecting Saudi Aramcos
experience and special requirements. Rationale for the
changes made to the UBC provisions by the ABC is provided in
this commentary.
Of particular interest to the steel designer are the following

topics (section and table numbers refer to the UBC):
Sec. 2311 (b). The minimum basic wind speed for

determining design wind pressure is 126 km/h (78
mph).
Sec. 2311 (c). Exposure C shall be used when
determining design wind pressure. This represents
the most severe UBC exposure.
Sec. 2311 (i). When determining wind load, all plant
area buildings and high-rise buildings shall be
added to the list of essential facilities. The
importance factor of 1.15 is intended to approximate
a 100-yr wind storm.
Sec. 2312 (a). Specification of seismic zones within
Saudi Aramco are described.
Table 23-A. Changes are made to Table 23-A to
reflect the requirements for minimum uniformly
distributed live loads found in Table 2 of ANSI
A58.1-1982.

SAES-M-001, "Basic Criteria for Miscellaneous Steel Structures"
SAES-M-001, Basic Criteria for Miscellaneous Steel Structures,

covers mandatory requirements governing the design of all steel
structures except buildings, communication towers, and offshore
structures.
SADP-M-001 is the associated commentary.
SAES-M-001 contains a list of exceptions and additions to ANSI

A58.1 design loading requirements. In particular, ANSI A58.1
does not specifically address loads associated with process
plant operations. SAES-M-001 provides guidance on such
loading.
12-SAMSS-007, "Miscellaneous Steel Structures"
This specification defines Saudi Aramco requirements for:
Design
Material selection
Shop fabrication
Marking for erection
Erection of steel structures
SADP-M-002 is the associated commentary.
To reflect Saudi Aramco selected requirements, 12-SAMSS-007

consists primarily of a list of exceptions, additions, and deletions
to the AISC Manual(s) of Steel Construction, Parts 1 and 5.
Saudi Aramco modifications to the AISC manual relate to the
selection of structural steels, the Specification for Structural
Steel Buildings, the Code of Standard Practice, and the
Specification for Structural Joints.

SUMMARY
This module presented the various specifications and codes

used in the design of steel structures at Saudi Aramco facilities.
The AISC Manual(s) of Steel Construction (Red/Green and Blue
books) were introduced together with the organization of the
books and their design principles.
The selection of steel member properties and the use of design

aids to determine the capacities of beams and columns were
illustrated and practiced. The purpose and scope of the
specifications and codes used in the design of steel structures
were also discussed. Selected Saudi Aramco design
requirements for structural steel design completed the module.
In the Evaluation, the Participant will answer a series of

questions that represent the knowledge gained from this
module. Some questions will also require the Participant to
select data from the tables found in the AISC Manual(s) of Steel
Construction.

WORK AID 1: PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING PROPERTIES OF STEEL

MEMBERS AND CAPACITIES OF BEAMS AND COLUMNS
Work Aid 1A: Procedures for Using Dimensions and Properties Tables
The following steps provide guidance for the use of the dimensions and properties
tables located in Part 1 of the Manual of Steel Construction.
1. Choose the section of Part 1 appropriate for the selected shape type, for
example, W or M shapes.
2. Turn to the page with the designated member reference and proceed
vertically down the left column to the member reference, for example, W
12 x 50.
3. Proceed horizontally from the left margin across the dimensions page and
record the appropriate information.
4. Continue horizontally from the dimensions page onto the properties page
and record the appropriate information.
A typical reference for a member is W 12 x 50.
where: W = Shape type
12 = Nominal depth (d ) of the member in inches
50 = Weight per foot of the section in pounds

Work Aid 1B: Procedures for Using Beam and Girder Design Tables
The following steps provide guidance for the use of the allowable loads on beams tables
located in Part 2 of the Manual of Steel Construction.
1. Select the section of Part 2 appropriate for the selected shape type and
grade of steel. A typical reference is a W shape in Grade A36 steel.
2. Turn to the page with the designated section depth and weight. A typical
reference might be W 12 x 50.
3. Proceed vertically down the left column to the specified span length in
feet.
4. Continue horizontally from the span length across the page, intersecting
the column for Wt/ft.
5. Record the allowable uniform load in kips, for example, a W 12 x 50

member in Fy = 36 ksi steel with a span of 20 ft would have an allowable
uniform load = 51 kips.

Work Aid 1C: Procedures for Using Column Design Tables
The following steps provide guidance for the use of the allowable concentric loads on
columns tables located in Part 3 of the Manual of Steel Construction.
1. Select the section of Part 3 appropriate for the selected shape, for
example, W or S shapes.
2. Turn to the page with the member designation, for example, W 12 across
the top row of the table.
3. Proceed vertically down the left column to the desired effective length in
feet.
4. Continue horizontally across the page intersecting the correct Wt/ft of the
column. Within that column, find the correct Fy reference, for example, a
W 12 x 50 member with an effective length of 20 ft in Fy = 36 ksi steel.
Record the allowable axial load in kips. (For the example, the allowable
axial load = 146 kips.)
