design standards at cairo -
dear all
i am working on structural scheme for cairo,egypt.
a) seismic loads , reference document
b) max / min concrete grade used
c) grade for steel (rebar)
d) structural steel grade (s275 / s355)?
e) seasonal variation of temperature
any help will be appreciated.
check out our whitepaper library.
moin moin murali27,
try a view to this side:
concrete grade and rebar grade depends on ground conditions and/or environment that the structure will be in.  what sort of 'scheme' is it?  consult local codes with reference to building standards/structural use of concrete & steel (again dependent on the type of structure you're designing).
seasonal variation in temperature can be easily found on the internet, the below link could provide you with historical data for temperature variations.
thanks for your input
the scheme is 10 story residential block in cairo. the few local codes are not in english version. i am looking for especially the seismic code.
cheers
