Abstract
The Project: Site Analysis: Site Properties: Nablus Station Meteorology will be considered as the source of the information when calculating thermal analysis and analyzing and the climate conditions. The site is situated at latitude of 31.7 and a longitude of 35.5 and 533m rise above sea level. Climate: We can describe Nablus climate as a hot and dry summer, moderate and warm in winter. Average temperature ranges between 15C in winter and rise to 27C during the summer, the average rainfall of up to 239 mm annually. Soil: Due to Hijjawi Construction Labs we can describe the soli for this location that the general soil formation within the depths of the borings consists mostly of hard rock of slightly fractured limestone formations exposed on the surface. Ground water was not encountered within the depths of the drilled boreholes, and no fixed ground water table was observed. No cavities or other kinds of weaknesses were observed within the depths of the borings. With soil bearing capacity = 1.7 Kg/cm
