Introduction
Pre-engineered buildings are structures that are fabricated using a systematic
approach to design and detailing. The key components of PEBs, including structural
systems, roofing, and wall cladding, are pre-designed and manufactured off-site.
This allows for faster and cost-effective construction compared to traditional
methods.

Advantages of Pre-Engineered Buildings:

a. Cost Efficiency: PEBs significantly reduce construction costs due to
standardized designs, efficient use of materials, and faster assembly.

b. Time Savings: The off-site manufacturing of components enables quicker on-

site assembly, reducing project timelines.

c. Design Flexibility: Despite being pre-engineered, PEBs offer design flexibility

to meet specific project requirements.

d. Sustainability: PEBs can be designed to incorporate sustainable features, such

as energy-efficient insulation and recycled materials.

e. Quality Control: Factory-controlled manufacturing ensures consistent quality

and adherence to industry standards.

Applications of Pre-Engineered Buildings:

a. Industrial Buildings: PEBs are commonly used for warehouses, manufacturing
plants, and distribution centers due to their cost-effectiveness and quick
construction.

b. Commercial Structures: Shopping malls, retail outlets, and office complexes

benefit from the rapid construction and flexibility of PEBs.

c. Agricultural Facilities: PEBs find applications in agricultural structures like barns

and storage facilities.

d. Sports Arenas: The large, open spans achievable with PEBs make them suitable
for sports arenas and exhibition halls
Components of PEB Structures:
a) Primary Members: Columns and Rafters
Rigid steel frames of the building are mainly considered as the Main Frames of PEB.
PEB rigid frame comprises tapered columns and tapered rafters (the fabricated
tapered sections are referred to as built-up members). The tapered sections are
fabricated using the state of art technology wherein the flanges are welded to the
web. Splice plates are welded to the ends of the tapered sections. The frame is
erected by bolting the splice plates of connecting sections.

A.CLEAR SPAN (CS) –

This shed design provides easy loading and stacking access, with pillars at
both ends for a spacious and airy feel. It accommodates widths up to 150
meters and features a two-slope frame, resulting in water discharge on both
sides.

B.MULTI SPAN (MS) –

Ideal for clients seeking a wide shed without the need for a clear span, this two-
slope frame offers economic benefits. The presence of columns between slopes
distributes the load, reducing overall structure weight.

C.SINGLE SLOPE (SS)

This type of frame is the preferred choice when clients want or have restrictions
to drain water on both sides of the shed. It is also chosen by clients in case their
existing sheds require an expansion in width but are not designed to support
the load of a lean-to-shed.

D.MULTI GABLE (MG

This type of frame is used in the case of a wide shed but is more
economical than the multi-span frame type. It is lighter because the trusses
are smaller and hence economical

E.LEAN-TO (LT)

This type of frame is the most preferred type, for sheds requiring an expansion
along the width. It requires the original shed to be designed such that it can take
the load of the expanded shed along with the new shed
 Columns:
Columns are used to transfer the vertical load to the foundations. These are
generally made up of I sections which give benefits in terms of strength while
being economical to produce.
Rafters:
Rafters are sloped structural members or beams that extend from the ridge or up
to the wall plate. They are designed to support the roof deck and other loads
associated with it.

b)Secondary Members: Purlins and Girts

Purlins, Grits and Eave Struts are secondary structural members used to
support the wall and roof panels.

Purlins are used on the roof; Grits are used on the walls and Eave Struts are
used at the intersection of the sidewall and the roof.

Secondary members have two functions: they act as struts that help in
resisting part of the longitudinal loads that are applied on the building
such as wind and earthquake loads

Purlins:
Purlins, Bracings, Tie rods, Angle bracings, High Tensile Bolts and washers etc. are
classified as secondary components that are used in a PEB. These parts are used to
support walls and roof panels.
C-SHAPED Purlins:

As the name itself suggests, these purlins bear a shape similar to the alphabet C.
They are commonly used to support walls and floors.

-Z-SHAPED Purlins:
The Z-shaped purlins are the other type of purlins, which are stronger than C purlins. Z-
purlins are most commonly used in joints and overlaps

Girts
The secondary horizontal member is attached to the main frame columns. Girts
normally support wall panels.
b)Tertiory Members: Sheeting and Accessories
Sheeting: Roo ng and wall
Roof sheeting for pre-engineered buildings comes in various forms, such as
standing seam roofs, corrugated metal roofs, and insulated metal panels.
The roof sheets are designed to interlock or overlap, providing a continuous and
watertight covering for the building

Wall sheets can come in various profiles and styles, including ribbed or
corrugated designs. Insulated metal panels are also used to enhance energy
efficiency.
In addition to providing weather protection, wall sheeting contributes to the
overall structural integrity of the building. It may also serve aesthetic and
branding purposes.

Accessories: Ventilators, Skylights, etc.

Ventilators play a crucial role in maintaining air circulation within a building. They
help control indoor air quality, temperature
Skylights are installed to introduce natural daylight into the building interior,
reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a more pleasant indoor
environment.

Case Study 1
Location : Kadmalaiputtur, Chennai-Madurai Road, Tamil Nadu
Client : CRYOLOR ASIA PACIFIC (P) LIMITED
Products Used : ECOBUILD™ BUILDING SYSTEMS
Project Details : 7,217 sq.mt
Architects : Architects United, Pune

The project involved providing complete pre-engineered steel building solution

The scope of work for Tata BlueScope Building Solutions included design, manufacture,
supply, project management and erection of the pre-engineered steel building by using
the highest quality of materials and proven technology.
Ontime completion, aesthetically pleasing as well as a functionally superior solution
coupled with economy, were the key requirements

Design Basis:
Lateral Stability: The main frame rafters and exterior columns are connected to each
other using moment type connections and hence the lateral stability of the building is
provided through the frame action of the main rigid frames. Main frames are designed
as two dimensional. Rigid frame columns along sidewalls are designed as fixed-based
and the columns at interior locations are pinned-based. The frame is designed with
segmental arch action in order to meet profile configuration

Longitudinal Stability: Longitudinal stability of a building is provided through multi–

tiered cross braced bays of the building in its roof, side walls and interior walls.
