Abstract – Pre-Engineering Building(PEB) concept of
single story industrial construction. The Present work
involves the comparative study and design of Pre-
Engineering Buildings (PEB) and Conventional steel
Building (CSB). Conventional Steel Building is old concept
which take lots of time, quality and typical erection factor to
modified that issues Pre-Engineering concept is developed.
It introduced to the Indian market in ͷ99Ͷ’s.PEB concept is
totally versatile not only due to its quality, prefabrication,
light weight and economical construction. The study is
achieved by designing a typical frame of Industrial
warehouse shed using both the concept and analyzing the
designed frame using the structural analysis and design
software STAAD Pro.
Key Words: Pre-Engineering Building, Conventional Steel
Building, STAAD Pro.
1. INTRODUCTION
An Industrial Warehouse is a storage building and is
usually characterized as single storey steel structures with
or without mezzanine floors. The enclosures of these
structures may be brick masonry, concrete walls or GI
sheet coverings. These buildings are low rise steel
structures characterized by low height, lack of interior
floor, walls, and partitions. The roofing system for such a
building is a truss with roof covering. The walls are
generally non-bearing but sufficiently strong enough to
withstand lateral forces caused by wind or earthquake.
The designing of industrial warehouse includes designing
of the structural elements including principal rater or roof
truss, column and column base, purlins, sag rods, tie rods,
gantry girder, bracings, etc. In Industrial building
structures, the walls can be formed of steel columns with
cladding which may be of profiled or plain sheets, GI
sheets, precast concrete, or masonry. The wall must be
adequately strong to resist the lateral force due to wind or
earthquake. The structural performance of these buildings
is well understood and, for the most part, adequate code
provisions are currently in place to ensure satisfactory
behavior in high winds. Steel structures also have much
better strength-to-weight ratios than RCC and they also
can be easily dismantled. Pre-engineered Buildings have
bolted connections and hence can also be reused after
dismantling. Thus, pre Engineered buildings can be shifted
and expanded as per the requirements in future.
2. METHODOLOGY
The present study is included in the design of an
Industrial Warehouse structure located at Nagpur. The
structure is proposed as a Pre-Engineered Building of 30
meters width, 8 bays each of 7.5 meters length and an eave
height of 6 meters. In this study, a PEB frame of 30 meter
width is taken into account and the design is carried out
by considering wind load as the critical load for the
structure. CSB frame is also designed for the same span
considering an economical roof truss configuration. Both
the designs are then compared to find out the economical
output. The designs are carried out in accordance with the
Indian Standards and by the help of the structural analysis
and design software STAAD pro v8i.
A. PRE ENGINEERED BUILDINGS
Pre-Engineered Building concept involves the steel
building systems which are predesigned and
prefabricated. The basis of the PEB concept lies in
providing the section at a location only according to the
requirement at that spot. The sections can be varying
throughout the length according to the bending moment
diagram. This leads to the utilization of non-prismatic
rigid frames with slender elements. Tapered I sections
made with built-up thin plates are used to achieve this
configuration. Standard hot-rolled sections, cold-formed
sections, profiled roofing sheets, etc. is also used along
with the tapered sections, as in. The use of optimal least
section leads to effective saving of steel and cost reduction.
The concept of PEB is the frame geometry which matches
the shape of the internal stress (bending moment)
diagram thus optimizing material usage and reducing the
total weight of the structure.
