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.

Commonly used Building construction types

There are different types of construction which are used for constructing building, homes, sheds, and such. When it comes to designing a structure, the construction type is chosen based upon a number of things such as Purpose of the structure, Size of the structure, Load bearing constraints, Environmental factors, Cost of materials and Speed of construction.

Here are the most commonly used building construction types-

1. Pre-engineered Construction

Pre-engineeredbuildings (PEB) are those building in which excess steel is avoided by tapering the sections. They are mostly constructed in a quicker way as compared to any other construction type. The key advantage of Pre-engineered buildings is low installation time. All the parts are ready to be bolted and screwed together.

Fast construction, Engineered to handle all the loads, Easy to design and manufacture are some major advantages of pre-engineered buildings which make them different from others.

2.  Steel frame Construction

Steel frame construction is used primarily in large span steel structures. These specialised steel structures are built from steel column and steel trusses to support floors and roofs. Large span steelstructures and High rise buildings are commonly built using this method, as it’s easy to transport materials up using cranes and the components are quickly bolted or welded together.

Steel is flexible, due to which it helps in earthquake prone areas or in areas of high wind. Steel can flex quite a bit without taking on permanent deformation, making it a great material for constructing tall buildings, steel bridges etc.

3. Concrete Frame construction

Concrete frame construction uses reinforced concrete columns, concrete beams, and concrete slabs to built the support structure. This construction type is often used in high-rise buildings and elevated roadways.

In building construction most all components are casted on site, thus construction time is not fast due to the curing time of the components. Concrete frame construction does not hold well to earthquakes, although it does weather wind effect and weather well, over time.

Pre Engineered Buildings / PEB – A Fast & Durable Industrial Shed

Introduction to Pre Engineered Buildings:

The word Pre or Prefab is related to prefabricated construction. Prefab is not an industrial term like modular homes, manufactured homes, panelized home, or site-built home. The term is a combination of panelized and modular building systems, which is well planned & designed before the initiation of construction and placement of structure as per detailed design at work site.

Pre engineered buildings are made of composite materials, which are manufactured by combination of materials comprising different properties such as plastics, concrete and steel. These structures are specifically designed for longer period of applications or usage. Pre Engineered Buildings (PEBs) are extremely durable, weather proof as well as termite proof. Due to their longer life of utility and affordable cost of construction, the Manufactured Pre engineered buildings can be used for permanent, semi permanent or temporary applications.

Key Facts about Pre engineered buildings in Comparison with Conventional Buildings:

Followings are the facts and benefits come out globally due to mass emergence of Pre engineered buildings over conventional building structures in last few decades:

·        In pre-engineered buildings, self-supporting & ready-made components are used, so the need for formwork, shuttering & scaffolding is signficantly minimized.

·        Prefabrication site can be easily located and the costs of labor, power, materials, space and overheads are less. By using prefabrication technology, a better quality control can be achieved in a factory assembly line setting than at the construction site.

·        In case of prefabricated structures or buildings, the cost is analyzed at the stage of design itself & therefore chances of fluctuation of cost are very less. However, the overall construction cost of conventional structure depends upon time and market fluctuations.

·        PEB is energy efficient, quick and simple in design, because the components are designed on a specialized computer aided programs & then manufactured and reviewed by experienced engineering team with high precision.

·        Pre engineered buildings are also “Smart Steel Buildings” since these are 100% customized, great design flexibility, resistant to moisture, adverse weather conditions, earthquakes, termites & fire.

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.
