Pre – Engineered Building

STUDY GUIDE
 Pre – engineered building
 is a steel structure built over a structural concept of primary members,
secondary members, and the cover sheeting connected to each other.
Thus steel building designs have become more flexible, durable and
adaptable.
 Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings can be fitted with different structural
additions like trusses, mezzanine floors, fascias, canopies and crane
systems as per user requirements. 
 Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for use in non residential, wide span
low rise buildings. Among the advantages of PEB is low cost, consistent
quality control, and fast delivery to name a few.
 Cold formed Z- and C-shaped members may be used as secondary structural elements
to fasten and support the external cladding.
 Roll-formed profiled steel sheet, wood, tensioned fabric, precast concrete, masonry
block, glass curtain wall or other materials may be used for the external cladding of the
building.
 Through its origin can be traced back to 1960’s its potential has been felt only during
the recent years. This was mainly due to the development in technology, which helped
in computerizing the design .
 Pre engineered buildings are generally low rise buildings however the maximum eave
height can Grow up to 25 to 30 meters.
 BRIEF HISTORY

 Steel was very expensive item in USA

 The concept of PEB originate from There.
 This lead to the saving in steel and development of PEB concept.

 ADVANTAGES
 Aesthetic Appeal
 Faster Completion
 Economical
 Seismic Resistance
 Ease of Expansion

 Hassle Free
 (PEB) is designed by a PEB supplier or PEB manufacturer, to be fabricated using best suited
inventory of raw materials available from all sources and manufacturing methods that can
efficiently satisfy a wide range of structural and aesthetic design requirements. Within some
geographic industry sectors these buildings are also called Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings
(PEMB) or, as is becoming increasingly common due to the reduced amount of pre-
engineering involved in custom computer-aided designs, simply Engineered Metal Buildings
(EMB).

Pre engineered building consists of following components:

 Structural Systems
 Secondary Systems
 Cladding
 Accessories
 Self weight • Self weight
 30% lighter
 Primary Member is tapered • More heavy
section
• Primary members are Hot rolled
 Secondary members are light “I” section
weight rolled framed “Z” and
“C” section • Secondary members are “I” or
“C” section which are heavy in
weight.
 • Delivery- average 20 to 26
• Delivery – average 6 to 8 weeks
weeks • Foundation- expensive,
• Foundation-simple design, heavy foundation required.
easy to construct & light wt. • Erection cost and time-
• Erection cost and time- 20% more than PEB
accurately known • Erection process is slow
• Erection process is easy, fast, and extensive field labor is
step by step required.

 CLADDING
- is the application of one material over another to provide a skin or
layer intended to control the infiltration of weather elements, or for
aesthetic purposes.
 Curved Cladding
 Wood cladding
 Wood cladding is a popular choice for homes because the look of real
wood is very appealing, and suits many types of homes.
 Stone cladding
 -Stone cladding, which uses thin layers of natural or simulated stone,
can bring a beautiful sense of elegance and a natural feel to a home.
This option is more expensive, however, especially the real stone
cladding, and is more labor intensive to install and maintain than
other forms of cladding.
 Concrete cladding
- This type of cladding can come in
panel or tile form, which can be used on
the exterior or interior. This option is
very flexible, as the concrete can be
adapted to give a sleek, modern look, or
a warm, natural look.
