Pre-Engineered Buildings: Rushank Mishra - 2008BARC012 Gyandeep Jaiswal - 2008BARC065 Akshay Gupta - 2008BARC073

This document discusses pre-engineered buildings (PEBs). PEBs consist of light gauge metal panels and frames that are pre-designed and can be assembled in different configurations. They provide benefits such as fast construction, functional versatility through modularity, and lower maintenance costs compared to conventional buildings. The document outlines the components of PEBs, different framing and assembly types, and applications such as warehouses and stadiums. It also notes some advantages of PEBs like reduced time and costs versus conventional construction approaches.

Pre-Engineered Building (PEB’s)

• A Pre-Engineered Building is a metal building that consists of light gauge


metal standing seam roof panels on steel purlins spanning between rigid
frames with light gauge metal wall cladding. It is a relatively flexible
structure vs. a conventional steel framed building. In other words, it has a
much greater vertical and horizontal deflection. The intent for this
publication is to recognize the nature and limitations of pre-engineered.
• Pre-engineered building concept is widely used in many of the
industrialized countries. It consists of a complete steel-framed building
system, with components pre-designed to fit together in a vast variety of
combinations to meet the unique requirements of specific end uses.
Different members in the assembly of the pre-
engineered buildings

1. Eave strut 8. Side wall


2. Roof panel 9. Rigid frame column
3. Roof purlin 10. Downspout
4. Rigid frame rafter 11. Gutter
5. Ridge line 12. Ridge panel
6. End wall 13. Cable bracing or rod
7. Wall panel bracing(at roof and wall)
Terminologies in Pre-Engineered Buildings

• Base Plate
A plate attached to the base of a column which rests on the foundation or other support, usually secured
by anchor bolts.
• Butt Plate
The end plate of a structural member usually used to rest against a like plate of another member in
forming a connection. Sometimes called a split plate or bolted end plate.
• Bay
The space between frame centre lines or primary supporting members in the longitudinal direction of
the building.
• Brace Rods
Rods or cables used in roof and walls to transfer loads such as wind loads, and seismic and crane thrusts
to the foundation. (Also often used to plumb buildings, but not designed to replace erection cables.)
• Clear Height:
This is the distance between the Finished Floor Level to the bottom of knee joint.
• Roof Slope (x/10):
This is the angle of the roof with respect to the horizontal. The most common roof slopes are 0.5/10 and
1/10. Any practical roof slope is possible.
Typical Pre-Engineered Building Assembly
• The “Rigid Frame” assembly is the
most common frame used in pre-
engineered buildings.
• Basically, the rigid frame consists of
a structural steel (hot-rolled)
moment-resisting column and beam
assembly that carries the cold-
formed roof purlins (usually “Z”
shaped) and wall girts (usually “C”
shaped).
• In addition, diagonal rod bracing is
required in the walls to resist
horizontal loading on the building
(i.e., wind loads and/or seismic). Rod
bracing is also provided within the
roof framing to resist "racking", or
twisting of the building.

Building Process

These are the stages which are involved


in the Pre-Engineered building
ADVANTAGES
1. Fast Project Construction:

- Buildings are fabricated and delivered within a short period due to standardisation.
- Fast erection because all members are field bolted.

2. Functional Versatility: - Modular construction.

- Large clear Spans (up to 100m).


- Long Bay Spacing (up to 13m).
- Buildings are easily expandable on all sides (allowing for future expansion).

3. Architectural Flexibility:

- Aesthetic features such as fascias, parapets and curved eaves greatly improve the appearance of the
building.
- Readily available interface details between steel and other materials (glazing, block wall, curtain wall,
etc.).

4. Low Maintenance and Operating Costs:

- Virtually no maintenance required for all panels.


- Roof requires only periodic cleaning.
- Annual washing of Eave Gutters.
- Watertight roofs.
Possible Disadvantages
1. Relatively short life-span
2. Sometimes has an “industrial” or
“warehouse” look to it
3. The foundation system is NOT designed by
the manufacturer
4. On-site alteration in design can’t be done.

Some of the significant advantages of PEB buildings
over conventional buildings
PEB Buildings Conventional Building
Aesthetically appealing appearance Special aesthetic design required

Reduced time because of international design


Increased design time due to scratch and availability
standards & codes using standard sections and
of less design aids
connections
Higher resistance to seismic forces due to low weight Rigid heavy weight structures not suitable for seismic
flexible frames zones

30% less PEB steel structures weight through High weight due to excessive safety factor and the
efficient use of steel usage of heavier steel sections

Factory controlled quality Every project to be fabricated at site

Lower initial cost of peb steel buildings(cost per


Special design and features developed for each
square meter about 30% less than the conventional)
project at higher costs
and faster delivery

Simple Foundation, easy to construct and light


Extensive heavy foundation
weight of PEB structures

Average delivery time 6-8 weeks Average delivery time 22-28 weeks
