Comparison of Design Procedures for Pre Engineering Buildings (PEB): A Case Study

Abstract

In recent years, the introduction of Pre Engineered Building (PEB) concept in the design of structures has helped in optimizing design. The adoptability of PEB in the p lace of Conventional Steel Building (CSB) design concept re sulted in many advantages, including economy and easier fabricatio n. In this study, an industrial structure (Ware House) is analyzed an d designed according to the Indian standards, IS 800&1984, IS 800&2007 and also by referring MBMA&96 and AISC&89. In this study, a structure with length 187m,width 40m,with clear height 8m and havi ng R&Slope 1:10,isconsidered to carry out analysis& design for 2D frames (End frame, frame without crane and frame with 3 module cranes). The economy of the structure is discussed in terms of i ts weight comparison, between Indian codes (IS800&1984, IS800 &2007) & American code (MBMA&96), & between Indian codes (IS 800&1984, IS800&2007).
