PRE- ENGINEERED

BUILDING
GROUP 9
WHAT IS PEB?

• Pre- Engineered Buildings are

factory-built buildings of steel
that are shipped go site and
bolted together.
• Suited to construct industrial
buildings and warehouses.
• These structures are
sometimes called ‘metal
boxes’ or ‘tin sheds’.

2
WHAT IS PEB?
• It is cheap, very fast to erect,
and can also be dismantled
and moved to another site.
• They are essentially rectangular
boxes enclosed in a skin of
corrugated metal sheeting.
• Great speed is achieved
because while the foundations
and floor slab are being
constructed, the beams and
column- the structural system-
are being fabricated in the
factories.

MAJOR COMPONENTS OF A PEB
1. Primary Components
Primary components of the PEB consists of mainframe, column, and rafters-

A. Main Frame
The main framing basically includes the rigid steel frames of the building. The PESB
rigid frame comprises of tapered columns and tapered rafters. Flanges shall be connected
to webs by means of a continuous fillet weld on one side.

B. Columns
The main purpose of the columns is to transfer the vertical loads to the foundations. In
pre-engineered buildings, columns are made up of I sections which are most economical
than others. The width and breadth will go on increasing from bottom to top of the
column.

COMPONENTS OF A PEB
C. Rafters
A rafter is one of a series of sloped structural members (beams) that extend from the
ridge or hip to the wall-plate, downslope perimeter or eave, and that are designed to
support the roof deck and its associated loads.

2. Secondary Component
Purlins, Grits and Eave struts are secondary
structural members used as support to
walls and roof panels.

A. Purlins and Girts

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.
Purlins and girts shall be cold-formed "Z"
sections with stiffened flanges.

B. Eave Struts
Eave struts shall be unequal flange cold-formed "C" sections. Eave struts are 200 mm
deep with a 104 mm wide top flange, a 118 mm wide bottom flange, both are formed
parallel to the roof slope. Each flange has a 24 mm stiffener lip.

C. Bracings
Cable bracing is a primary member that ensures the stability of the building against
forces in the longitudinal direction such as wind, cranes, and earthquakes. Diagonal
bracing in the roof and side walls shall be used.

3. Sheeting or Cladding
The sheets used in the construction of pre-engineered buildings are Base metal of either
Galvalume coated steel conforming to ASTM A 792 M grade 345B or aluminum
conforming to ASTM B 209M which is cold-rolled steel, high tensile 550 MPA yield
stress, with hot dip metallic coating of Galvalume sheet.

4. Accessories
Non-structural parts of the buildings such as bolts, turbo ventilators, skylights, lovers,
doors and windows, roof curbs and fasteners make the accessories components of the
pre-engineered steel building.

COMPARISON BETWEEN PRE- ENGINEERED BUILDING AND CONVENTIONAL
STEEL BUILDING
PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL
BUILDING
Structural Weight
• Pre-engineered buildings are on the
average 30% lighter because of the
efficient use of steel.
Secondary members are light weight
roll formed “Z” or “C” shaped
members.
Design
• Quick and efficient design since PEB’s
are mainly formed by standard
sections and connections design, time
is significantly reduced.
Structural Weight
• Primary steel members are selected
hot rolled “T” sections. Which are, in
many segments of the members
heavier than what is actually required
by design.
Secondary members are selected from
standard hot rolled sections which are
much heavier
Design
• Each conventional steel structure is
designed from scratch with fewer
design aids available to the engineer.

ADVANTAGES
•Reduced Construction time: When the foundation is being built in site, the structural members are
simultaneously fabricated in industries. Since the erection time is also less it results in the early completion of
the structure

•Less Manpower at Site: Most of the work in a PEB construction is done in the industries thus the
requirement of manpower at the site is very less comparatively

•Reduction in Cost: Since both materials and manpower is minimized the overall cost of construction is
reduced

•Flexibility in Design: The steel structural members are designed in software and is fabricated with machines,
thus desired shape can be achieved without any compromise. Hence the PEB can be architecturally versatile

ADVANTAGES
•Scope for Future Expansion: Since bolted connections are only used, the length wise
expansion in a PEB becomes more evident

•Low Maintenance: Modern metal finishes and coatings will help the steel panels to resist
corrosion, chemical attack etc., and also the steel surfaces can be easily repaired if
damaged.

•Seismic Resistance: The super structure made of steel is light in weight and flexible
enough to offer greater resistance to seismic waves when compared to conventional
concrete structures.

Statistics 18

DISADVANTAGES

•Susceptible to Corrosion: If not properly maintained the steel frames are susceptible to
corrosion, thus special coatings becomes necessary to resist the corrosion of steel

•Low Thermal Resistivity: Steel being a metal is good at conducting heat, thus it reduces
the thermal comfort in the building.

•Low Fire Resistance: During fire, this type of building becomes more susceptible to
damage due its conductivity.
