    IPE 450 for a span of 18m?!

    Dear friends, i have a span of 18m. (see image below). The purlins are in a 1,5 distance carrying a load of 2,2kN/m each. I analysed the system using my software. A HEA 400 seems to be enough. But...i am new, i would think more reasonable a IPE450-500, and would like your thoughts/suggestions...

    Saudi Building Code Peak Ground Acceleration map - not found

    I was checking the Saudi Building Code and the Eurocode. I try to find a Saudi Arabia map that concerns the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA). Instead, the only thing that i can find is 0,2sec spectral response acceleration (Ss) and 1 sec spectral (S1). My software works on Eurocode,so it uses PGA...
