Pre-Engineered Building (PEB buildings)

In structural engineering, a pre-engineered building (PEB) is designed by PEB contractors or by PEB manufacturers to be fabricated using the 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 structures are also known as pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) or as engineered metal buildings (EMB), which is becoming more common due to the reduced amount of pre-engineering involved in custom computer-aided designs.

During the 1960s, standardized engineering designs for buildings were first marketed as PEBs. The primary framing structure of a pre-engineered building has traditionally been an assembly of I-shaped members, also known as I-beams. In pre-engineered buildings, I beams are typically made by welding steel plates together to form the I section. The I beams are then field-assembled (e.g bolted connections) to form the entire frame of the pre-engineered building. Some PEB companies taper the framing members to account for local loading effects (varying in web depth). In areas with higher load effects, larger plate dimensions are used.

Other forms of primary framing can include trusses, mill sections rather than three-plate welded, castellated beams, etc. The choice of economic form can vary depending on factors such as local capabilities (e.g. manufacturing, transportation, construction) and variations in material vs. labour costs.

Primary frames are typically 2D frames (i.e. may be analysed using two-dimensional techniques). Advances in computer-aided design technology, materials, and manufacturing capabilities have helped in developing alternative pre-engineered building types such as tension fabric buildings and more sophisticated analysis (e.g. three-dimensional) as required by some building codes.

Cold-formed Z and C-shaped members can be used as secondary structural elements to fasten and support the external cladding.

The building’s external cladding can be made of roll-formed profiled steel sheet, wood, tensioned fabric, precast concrete, masonry block, glass curtain wall, or other materials.

Engineers consider the clear span between bearing points, bay spacing, roof slope, live loads, dead loads, collateral loads, wind uplift, deflection criteria, internal crane system, and maximum practical size and weight of fabricated members when designing a pre-engineered building. Pre-engineered building manufacturers have traditionally developed pre-calculated tables for various structural elements to allow designers to choose the most efficient I beam size for their projects. With the advancement of computer-aided custom designs, table selection procedures are becoming increasingly rare.

Advantages of Pre-Engineered Buildings

Pre-engineered building construction is unquestionably one of the world’s fastest-growing construction systems. All parties involved in the project find its benefits appealing. Who can argue with a construction system that provides speed, quality, and value, after all? Pre-engineered buildings have a number of advantages over traditional steel buildings. In addition to the lower initial cost and faster delivery, you will only have to deal with one pre-engineered building manufacturer KMR Construction for the design and fabrication of your PEB buildings. Alternative structural framing options are substantially costly to build so that pre-engineered building systems are considered economic and cost-efficient. Contrary to the conventional permanent brick-and-mortar structures PEB structures allow on-site modification and enhancement with their pre-engineered structures. A well-designed pre-engineered building can be up to 30% lighter than a conventional steel building. Lighter weight means less steel and potentially lower structural framework costs. Pre-engineered buildings are designed and constructed to last. PEB structures are made of top quality and highly durable materials, are designed to cope with the most severe weather and natural disasters. PEB structures are simple to construct and transport. Because the majority of the components are pre-engineered, PEB building structures are easy to transfer and assemble.

Applications of PEB buildings

Pre Engineered buildings range in size from small car parking sheds to large factory buildings with clear spans and multi-storied structures. The pre-engineered building approach has been used for almost every conceivable building application. Metal building framing styles each have their own set of benefits. The framing system you choose is usually determined by the quality of the structures, the project budget, and the local building code. On an existing building structure, a single slope structure is used for offices and large warehouses. If you want to make the most of your space for shorter spans, straight column framing is the way to go. The most common application of PEB buildings is in commercial, industrial, institutional, and agricultural buildings.

Pre engineered building FAQ

What is PEB steel structure?

Pre Engineered Steel Buildings (PEB) revolutionized the construction market using built-ups in place of conventional Hot Rolled Sections. PEB is a steel structure built over a structural concept of primary members, secondary Members, and the cover sheeting connected to each other.

Is code for pre-engineered buildings?

The procedures and standards are adapted to analysis and design of pre-engineered buildings. The design is done by IS 800:2007, “ Code of practice for General Construction in Steel Structures” as well as IS 875:1987(Part 1,2&3), “Indian Standard code of Practice for loads on Buildings and Structures”.

What is pre-engineered building?

A pre-engineered steel building is one that manufacturers design and fabricate in-house to meet specific requirements. Pre-engineered buildings offer numerous customization options allowing you to modify multiple aspects of your building to meet the specific needs of you or your business.

What is live load vs dead load?

Live loads are just one of many loads to consider during the structural design process. For instance, dead loads account for the non-dynamic forces that place continuous and permanent force on a structure. They consist of the building and all of its fixed components – both structural and non-structural
