COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VARIOUS PEB FRAME TYPES

Abstract

Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) concept in the design of structures has helped in Optimizing design. The
adoptability of PEB in the place of Conventional Steel Building (CSB) design concept resulted in many Advantages,
including economy and easier fabrication. A study of different frame types changing different parameters like width,
height, bay spacing, and wind pressure have been analysed& designed by using STAAD pro. To understand the
behaviour of Pre-Engineered structure & to check in which case it achieve the economy in steel quantity by varying
different parameters. Design is done based on IS: 800. Load case considered in modelling are Dead load, Live load,
Wind load and seismic load along with the various combinations as specified in IS. Analysis results are observed for
base reaction, column moment, rafter moment, displacement at ridge, displacement at mid span.
Buildings & houses are one of the oldest construction activities of human beings. The construction technology has
advanced since the beginning from primitive construction technology to the present concept of modern house buildings.
The present construction methodology for buildings calls for the best aesthetic look, high quality & fast construction,
cost effective & innovative touch. Pre Engineered Steel Buildings are manufactured or Produced in the plant itself. The
manufacturing of structural members is done on customer requirements. The detailed structural members are designed
for their respective location and are numbered, which cannot be altered; because members are manufactured with
respect to design features. These components are made in modular or completely knocked condition for transportation.
These materials are transported to the customer site and are erected. Pre-engineered buildings can be adapted to suit a
wide variety of structural applications; the greatest economy will be realized when utilizing standard details. An
efficiently designed pre-engineered building can be lighter than the conventional steel buildings by up to 30%. Lighter
weight equates to less steel and a potential price savings in structural framework.
