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...

Saudi Building Load has a method to calculate PGA. Using maps and corrections based on a Site Class B. its based on ACI.
