I. Introduction
Steel is the material of choice for design because it is inherently ductile and flexible. In structural
engineering, a pre-engineered building (PEB) is designed by a manufacturer, to be fabricated using a pre-
determined inventory of raw materials and manufacturing methods that can efficiently satisfy a wide range of
structural and aesthetic design requirements. PEB can be fitted with different structural accessories including
mezzanine floors, canopies, fasciae, interior partitions, etc. The concept of PEB is the frame geometry which
matches the shape of the internal stress (bending moment) diagram thus optimizing material usage and reducing
the total weight of the structure. The complete designing is done at the factory and the building components are
brought to the site in knock down condition. These components are then fixed/ jointed at the site and raised with
the help of cranes. An Industrial Warehouse is a storage building and is usually characterized as single storey
steel structures with or without mezzanine floors. The enclosures of these structures may be brick masonry,
concrete walls or GI sheet coverings. These buildings are low rise steel structures characterized by low height,
lack of interior floor, walls, and partitions. The roofing system for such a building is a truss with roof covering.
The walls are generally non-bearing but sufficiently strong enough to withstand lateral forces caused by wind
or earthquake. The designing of industrial warehouse includes designing of the structural elements including
principal rater or roof truss, column and column base, purlins, sag rods, tie rods, gantry girder, bracings, etc.
Steel structures also have much better strength-to-weight ratios than RCC and they also can be easily
dismantled. Pre-engineered Buildings have bolted connections and hence can also be reused after dismantling.
Thus, pre Engineered buildings can be shifted and expanded as per the requirements in future The design of
industrial building is governed mainly by functional requirements and the need for economy of construction. In
cross-sections these buildings will range from single or multibay structures of larger span when intended for use
as warehouses or aircraft hangers to smaller span buildings as required for factories, assembly plants,
maintenance facilities, packing plants etc. The main dimensions will nearly always be dictated by the particular
operational activities involved, but the structural designer‟s input on optimum spans and the selection of suitable
cross-sections profile can have an important bearing on achieving overall economy. An aspect where the
structural designer can make a more direct contribution is in lengthwise dimensions i.e. the bay lengths of the
building. Here a balance must be struck between larger bays involving fewer, heavier main components such as
columns, trusses, purlins, crane beams, etc. and smaller bays with a large number of these items at lower unit
mass. Pre Engineered Building (PEB) concept in the design of structures has helped in optimizing design. Steel
is the basic material that is used in the Materials that are used for Pre-engineered steel building. The latest
version of the Code of Practice for general construction in steel IS 800:2007 is based on Limit State Method of
design . The adoptability of PEB in the place of Conventional Steel Building (CSB) design concept resulted in
many advantages, including economy and easier fabrication. Long Span, Column free structures are the most
essential in any type of industrial structures and Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) fulfills this requirement along

with reduced time and cost as compared to conventional structures. PEB methodology is versatile not only due
to its quality pre-designing and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction. In
this study, an industrial structure (Ware House) is analyzed and designed according to the Indian standard, IS
800-2007. The study of Pre Engineering Building with Conventional Steel Building has been carried out and the
observations made based on this study are very much useful to the practicing structural engineers.

II. Methodology
The present study is included in the design of an Industrial Warehouse structure located at Persivni
Nagpur. The structure is proposed as a Pre-Engineered Building of 40.90 meters Length, 5 bays each of 8.18
meters length and clear height 4.5 meters, peak height of 7.097 meters. In this study, a PEB frame of 32 meter
width is taken into account and the design is carried out by considering wind load as the critical load for the
structure. CSB frame is also designed for the same span considering an economical roof truss configuration.
Both the designs are then compared to find out the economical output. The designs are carried out in accordance
with the Indian Standards and by the help of the structural analysis and design software STAAD pro v8i.
Assuming that a Pre-engineered building system is selected for the project at hand, the next milestone is
choosing among the available types of Pre-engineered primary frame. Proper selection of the primary framing,
the backbone of Pre-engineered buildings, goes a long way toward a successful implementation of the design
steps to follow. Some of the factors that influence the choice of main framing include:
 Dimensions of the building: width, length, and height.
 Roof slope.
 Required Column-free clear frame
 Occupancy of the building and acceptability of exposed steel column
 Proposed roof & wall materials
 Multi-span rigid frame
 Lean to frame
 Single span and continuous trusses

D.Duthinh; J.A.Main; A.P.Wright & E.Simiu : This paper presents a methodology for estimating the mean
recurrence interval of failure under Wind loads that accounts for non-linear structural behavior and the
directionality of the Wind speeds and the aerodynamic affects, and uses databases of Wind tunnel test results as

well as Wind speed data from the NIST hurricane Wind speed database augmented by statistical methods. Under
the assumption that uncertainties with respect to the parameters governing wind loading and material
performance are negligible, our methodology results in a notional probability of failure during a 50-year period
of the order of 1/2,000. This result was obtained for one particular low-rise steel structure at one particular
location, but the method is general and can be applied to any structure anywhere provided the relevant
meteorological and Wind tunnel data exist and non-linear finite element analysis is accessible. As different
structures fail by different mechanisms, good engineering judgment is required to identify potential critical load
cases and to limit non-linear analysis to a manageable number of cases.

D.Mahaarachi, M.Mahendran : This paper described an advance finite element model that accurately predicts
the true behaviour of Crest-fixed steel claddings under Wind uplift. The results from the FEA and experiments
agreed well for the trapezoidal steel claddings with wide pans used in this investigation. This demonstrates that
non-linear finite element analysis can be used with confidence to carry out extensive parametric studies into the
structural behaviour of profiled steel claddings, which undergo local pull-through failures associated with
splitting or local dimpling failures. Once the use of finite element analysis to determine the most important pull-
through failure load was validated using large scale two-span experiments, it was used to investigate the
behaviour of trapezoidal steel claddings with varying geometry and material properties. Based on these FEA,
improved design formulae have been developed for the local failures of trapezoidal steel claddings with wide
pans. This paper has also discussed the disadvantages of using the Conventional one rib FEA model for
multispan steel Cladding assemblies.

Saffir Dale C. Perry; James R. McDonald and Herbert S : During the past decade the engineered metal
building has emerged as a competitive form of low-rise construction. The structural performance of these
buildings is well understood and, for the most part, adequate code provisions are currently in place to ensure
satisfactory behavior in high winds. It would be comforting if more full-scale measurements on buildings were
available to corroborate wind tunnel data on which the code provisions are based-but this will come. While
recently an improvement in field performance has been noted, the additional steps alluded toin this paper should
be implemented in order to protect fives and reduce wind damage to a minimum.

IV. Conclusion
By increasing the area of Industrial building material and cost of the building is minimized in case of
PEIB while in case of Convention building the material and cost is not optimized if we increase the area of
building.
