Computer-Aided-Design of Steel PEB Warehouse Fabricated with Wide Flange Rolled Sections (original) (raw)
Buildings and 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 along with the advent of latest computer software. The present construction methodology for buildings calls for the best aesthetic look, high quality and fast construction, cost effective and innovativeness. The manufacturing of structural members is done on customer requirements. Pre-engineered buildings can be adapted to suit a wide variety of structural applications and the greatest economy will be realized when utilizing standard details. An efficiently designed preengineered 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. Steel hot rolled sections have been in use in construction since long in India. With advancement of technology to build moment resisting frames to resist frame actions, a review of the existing available sections is required to assess their applicability. PEB construction is 30 to 40% faster than masonry construction. PEB buildings provide good insulation effect and would be highly suitable for a tropical country like India. PEB is ideal for construction in remote and hilly areas as well as for metro cities. This paper covers in detail about the concept of Pre-Engineered Building, its construction system, benefits, applications and pictorial representation of various categories of buildings with the properties in single span and single ridge sloped PEB frame fabricated with wide flanged roll section with the wind design philosophy and investigates the available sections in light of the different code requirements for desired performance under strong wind conditions. The whole analysis and design procedure is done using computer software like Staad Pro v8i.
