Applications of Pre-engineered Buildings

Ever since the technology of pre-engineered buildings was introduced, its merits have been appreciated. Over the passage of time, more and more advances have come in making these structures extremely versatile and useful. The speed and ease of construction, mobility, timeliness of project completion and remarkable cost-efficiency that is brought about in PEB projects is universally acknowledged. Let’s have a look at some of their most common applications:-

     ·  Factories: Most factories have some basic structural requirements including parameters of safety, durability and effective utilization of space, with fairly minimal design customization needed. As a result, steel buildings can prove sturdy effective as factory structures.

      · Warehouses or Distribution centres: The same holds true for storage spaces, distribution areas, warehouses and logistics centres. A basic structural steel framework with ready, finished roofing and cladding parts is fully capable of fulfilling their requirements.

     

   · Industrial sheds & Hangars: Metal Buildings with ready to assemble-ridges, bays and designated areas for different functions prove quite useful for constructing industrial sheds. In fact, the large span structures like aircraft hangers can be commissioned in remarkably short times.

    · Indoor and outdoor stadium with canopy: By adding elements like colour & type variations in the roofing and cladding and other exterior finishes. PEB’s can develop into rather attractive –looking structures that have now found wide acceptance as sports facilities such as stadiums.

Applications of Steel Pre-Engineered Building

A Pre-engineered Building is a building that consists of light gauge metal roof panels on steel purlins connecting between rigid frames with light gauge metal wall cladding. It is a relatively flexible structure as compared to conventional structures.

Pre–engineered buildings 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.

Applications of Steel in PEB

1- Rigid steel frames of the building are mainly considered as the main frames of Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB).

2- Panels are used for sheeting purposes are generally of profiled steel sheets as roof and wall sheeting, roof and wall liners and partition.

3- Generally, Zinc Aluminium coated steel which are resistant to corrosion and heat are used.

4- Steel is also used in Main framing or vertical columns

5- Steel or aluminium framed doors and windows are fixed to the purlins or the supporting profiled steel by bolting to the flanges already fixed to the purlins.

6- A huge steel frame work is suspended from the ceiling and false ceiling of rigid boards are either bolted or placed over the frame work.

Thus steel is a favored material for construction, due to its various advantages like quality, aesthetics, economy and environmental conditions.

Merits of Pre Engineering Building over Conventional Buildings

As the name suggests, Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) means steel buildings systems, which are designed and prefabricated. Buildings manufactured in a way that its structural parts like columns, roof truss etc are manufactured prior to its arrival and installation on manufacturing site.

	Pre-engineered Buildings	Conventional Buildings
Quick & Efficient	PEBs are mainly formed by standard sections and connections, which are produced on automatic production lines, this reduces the production time.	Conventional buildings are designed with larger variety of sections with fewer design aids available to the engineer.
Steel Consumption	Steel consumption per square meter may be reduced by 30% than the conventional Building.	Higher steel consumption per square meter
Erection Time	The erection process is faster and much easier with reduced requirement of heavy equipment and manpower.	Erection Process is slow and extensive and field labour is required. Heavy equipment is also needed to attain the required accuracy.
Performance	All components have been specified and designed especially to act together as a system for maximum efficiency, precise for and peak performance in the field.	Components are custom designed for a specific application on a specific job. Design and detailing errors are possible when assembling the diverse components into unique structures.
Future Expansions	Future expansion is very easy and simple	Future expansion is most tedious and costly
Cost of Charge Order	PEB manufacturers usually stock a large amount of raw material that can be flexibly used in many types of PEB projects	Substitution of hot rolled sections in frequently rolled by mills is expensive and time consuming
Delivery Time	Due to pre-designing and prefabrication techniques involved in its manufacturing, the time of delivery is substantially reduced.	Whereas absence of prefabrication techniques in manufacturing of conventional buildings is a bit cumbersome task & presents difference experience every time.
Seismic Resistance	The low weight flexible frame offers higher resistance to seismic forces	Rigid heavy frames do not perform well in seismic zones and are subject to high welding stresses.

Pre engineering building is the low rise buildings build in such a way that its structural parts like columns, purlins, roof truss etc are manufactured prior to its arrival on manufacturing site. As the name suggests itself, Pre-engineered building (PEB) is the building manufactured and constructed using prefabrication process. Pre-Engineered Building is becoming increasingly common nowadays to efficiently satisfy a vast range of adaptive structural applications and aesthetic design requirements because of the diminished amount of pre-engineering involved in custom computer-aided designs (CAD). Generally, Pre-engineered buildings are the low rise buildings, since maximum height can go from 25 to 30 meters.  Low rise buildings are best for houses, offices, shop fronts, showrooms etc. Building a pre engineering building could save some of the cost and time spent in its construction. In time saving, PEB construction takes less time since work get divided into different appropriate work sections. But more than ‘Time’ and ‘Cost’, further two other things are of prime importance, as follows:

1.      Fit To Purpose: The pre engineering building should be economically and spatially fit to purpose that client want to realize by working under it.

2.      Safe for Workers: The labor working under Constructed Pre engineering building should be free from any threat to their lives.

Moreover, the standard of PEB building can be customized by the attachment of windows, doors, trims, eaves, and many other exterior features, resulting into a new creation in field of structural engineering.

Introduction

As the name suggests itself, Pre-engineered building (PEB) is the building manufactured and constructed using prefabrication process. Scope of PEB Buildings is becoming increasingly common nowadays to efficiently satisfy a vast range of adaptive structural applications and aesthetic design requirements. Generally, Pre-engineered buildings in india, are the low rise buildings, even though maximum height can go from 25 to 30 meters.  9 to 10 meters of height is usually recommended and turns out to be more economical.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS

Depending on the structural type to be created Steel Fabricators in India , followings are the major components used in PEB :

PEB and Components

PEB Outer View

• Primary frames / Main framing
• Secondary frames/ End wall framing
• Roof Sheeting and Wall Cladding
• Structural subsystems
• Floor systems

Primary frames / Main framing

Main framing generally called as the rigid steel frames of the building as they are supporting members carries the main load in a pre-engineered building (PEB).  Main Framing consists of tapered columns & rafters, which are referred as built-up members. The technology ‘state of art’ is mainly used to fabricate these tapered sections. Some of the factors that influence the choice of main framing include:

·    Slope of Roof

·    Building Dimensions: width, length, and height

·    Building’s occupancy and acceptability of exposed steel columns

·    Roof and wall materials

·    Column-free clear spans

Secondary frames/ End wall framing

The Secondary frame of a PEB may be considered as a main rigid frame (i.e. same as the interior frame) or as a post and beam frame. The decision depends on the requirement of customer (whether he wants to go in for future expansion or not) and / or requirement of building (is the end wall open for access). The post and beam frame end wall system consists of pinned ends columns/posts, supporting horizontal beams called as end wall rafters. 

 

Roof Sheeting and Wall Cladding

Roof Sheeting is process of covering on the uppermost part of the Pre-Engineered building which gives protection not only from weather (rain or snow) but also from heat, wind and sunlight. Roof Sheeting & Wall Cladding is designed after research by our engineering experts on technical parameters that are appropriate according to the project requirement.

Structural subsystems

The Structural subsystems consists of light weighing materials that give adequate versatility as well as interfaces to  other subsystems to ensure that all phases of the process are going through safe. Some of the crucial features of the basic structural subsystem design are:

·         light-weight

·         Easy to  fabricate and assemble

·         Free space to payload sensors

·         Circuitry

Foundation and Floor systems

In PEB , Foundations and Floor Systems are made up of conventional concrete systems, usually called as Open Foundation systems. Since PEBs are very light in weight, the foundation are designed to firmly anchor the PEB structures to the ground. Foundation systems are classified into two types:  shallow and deep foundations, depending upon depth of the load transferred below the super-structure & the type of transfer load mechanism used.
