Objectives

• Organization of the profession's practices in
  such manner as will raise its scientific and
  professional standing
• Defend the members interests and dignity and
  uphold the profession's ethics and honor
• Promote the scientific and professional standing
  of engineers and activate and support research in
  the science of engineering
• Participate in planning and developing
  educational and training programs in engineering,
  industry.
• Participate in studies of inter-Arab nature, and
  exchange with the Arab countries information,
  expertise , and publications covering engineering
  subjects
• Provide a decent life to engineers and their
  families in the event of disability, old age, and
  other emergency cases

Co-operation with SDC

• Translation and adaptation of Bachman
  publication.
• Steel Reinforcement Detailing Manual for
  buildings.

Results - Needs

• The awareness of the seismic risk, the needs for
  good preparedness and mitigation measures must be
  raised up among which and of most important ones
  is the design of buildings to resist the
  earthquake forces.
• But it seam's that the lack of guides and
  publications in Arabic language, which help
  engineers and designers in implementing the Code
  requirements to design buildings to resist
  seismic hazards, forms an obstacle in rising up
  the awareness of using this code to the needed
  level to help in the mitigation of earthquake
  hazards as expected.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Seismic Design of Buildings Translation and
Adaptation of Bachmann Publication

• The scope of this project is to translate the
  publication named "Seismic Conceptual Design of
  Building Basic Principles for Engineers,
  Architects, building owners and authorities" by
  Hugo Bachmann to Arabic Language.

11
What is this document? Seismic Conceptual Design
of Buildings Basic principlesfor engineers,
architects, building owners,and authorities.
by Hugo Bachmann

• 1. This document offers a broad out line of the
  art of designing earthquake resistant building.
  It describes basic principles guiding the seismic
  design of structures. These principles govern
  primarily the conceptual design and the detailing
  of the structural elements and non-structural
  elements of the building.
• 2. The basic principles are intentionally simple
  . Calculations and detailed design are only
  marginally introduced.
• 3. The outlined principles are applicable to new
  buildings . But , it is quite clear that they may
  also used for the evaluation and possible
  upgrading of existing buildings .
