This document discusses pre-engineered buildings (PEBs). PEBs use standardized steel framing components and computerized design to construct buildings quickly and efficiently. PEBs are 30% lighter than conventional steel buildings due to tapered framing members and lightweight secondary components. PEBs have grown in popularity due to their economical, fast construction and reduced maintenance compared to other building types. Common applications of PEBs include warehouses, factories, workshops, offices, and other commercial and industrial structures.

3. Introduction
Technological improvement over the year has
contributed immensely to the enhancement of quality of
life through various new products and services. One
such revolution was the pre engineered buildings.
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 and design.

4. Introduction
• Though initially only off the shelf products were available
in these configurations aided by the technological
development tailor made solutions are also made using
this technology in very short durations.
• A recent survey shows that about 60% of the non
residential low rises building in USA are pre engineered
buildings.
6. Introduction
• The market potential of PEB’s : 1.2 million tones per
annum.
• The current pre engineered steel building
manufacturing capacity : 0.35 million tones per
annum.
• The industry is growing at the compound rate of 25 to
30 %.
7. PEB concept
• Pre engineered buildings
are generally low rise
buildings however the
maximum eave height can
go up to 25 to 30 meters.
• Low rise buildings are
ideal for offices, houses,
showrooms, shop fronts
etc

8. PEB concept
PEB is a steel structure
built over a structural
concept of primary
members, secondary
members and the cover
sheeting connected to
each other.
11. Why Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB's)
• structural steel buildings gained acceptance in the USA
during the early half of the 20th century.
• Engineers were able to design steel buildings using
standard published properties and load tables of hot
rolled steel mill sections produced by most American
steel mills.
• Contractors preferred steel buildings to wood and
concrete buildings because most quality requirements
were handled by the fabricator leaving the contractor
with the sole responsibility of erecting the steel structure.
12. Why Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB's)
• Developers and Owners favored steel buildings
because they were more economical, faster to
construct and required less maintenance than
reinforced concrete buildings which gave them a
better return on investment.
• PEB's use a pre-determined narrow range of raw
material inventory to produce an infinite range of
building geometries to satisfy virtually unlimited
design requirements, functional considerations
and aesthetic tastes.
13. Components of PEB
• Built-up I – Sections
(often tapered) which are
used to produce the
columns, rafters & beams
of rigid frames, bearing
frames, mezzanine
structures, cranes
runways, roof monitors,
roof platforms, catwalks,
fascias, parapets,
canopies, roof extensions,
etc.)
14. Components of PEB
• Hot rolled I -
Sections,
channels, tubes
and angles that are
used in limited
quantities in the PEB
Steel Structure.
15. Components of PEB
• Galvanized cold-
formed "Z", "C"
and angle shaped
secondary
structural
members (roof
purlins, eave struts,
wall girts, base
channels, base angles,
gable angles, etc.)

STRUCTURE WEIGHT
Pre engineered buildings
are on the average 30%
lighter because of the
efficient use of steel.
Primary framing
members are tapered
built up section. With the
large depths in areas of
higher stress.
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. Members
have constant cross
section regardless of the
varying magnitude of the
local stresses along the
member length.

and PEB

STRUCTURE WEIGHT
Secondary members are
light weight roll formed
“Z” or “C” shaped
members.
Secondary members are
selected from standard
hot rolled sections which
are much heavier

DESIGN
Specialized computer
analysis design programs
optimize material
required. Drafting is also
computerized using
standard detail that
minimizes the use of
project custom details.
Substantial engineering
and detailing work is
required from the very
basic is required by the
consultant with fewer
design aids
