PRE ENGINEERED BUILDINGS

Tailor made building based on

clients requirement & actual
design calculations using
tapered sections.

A combination of built up
section, hot rolled section,
cold
formed elements and
profiled sheets
Designing and casting is done
in factory
Building
components
are
brought to site
Then fixed/jointed at the site
All connections are bolted.

BRIEF HISTORY

Steel was very expensive item in USA

The concept of PEB originate from here.
The idea was that section should be provided as per
B.M.D.
This lead to the saving in steel and development of
PEB concept.

PEB

APPLICATIONS

Industrial Buildings
Warehouses
Commercial Complexes
Showrooms
Offices
Schools
Indoor Stadiums
Outdoor Stadiums with canopies
Gas Stations
Metro Stations, Bus Terminals, Parking Lots
Primary Health Centers, Angan wadis
And many more

PEB

ADVANTAGES

Aesthetic Appeal
Faster Completion
Economical
Seismic Resistance
Ease of Expansion
Maintenance Free
Large Clear Spans
Controlled Quality
Hassle Free

Self weight
30% lighter
Primary Member is
tapered section
Secondary members
are light weight rolled
framed Z and C
section

Self weight
More heavy
Primary members
are Hot rolled I
section
Secondary
members are I or
C section which
are heavy in weight.

Delivery average 6 to
8 weeks
Foundation-simple
design, easy to
construct & light wt.
Erection cost and timeaccurately known
Erection process is
easy, fast, step by step

Delivery- average 20
to 26 weeks
Foundation- expensive,
heavy foundation
required.
Erection cost and time20% more than PEB
Erection process is
slow and extensive
field labor is required.

Seismic Resistancelow weight flexible

frames offer higher
resistance to seismic
forces
Overall price
-30%lower
architecture-achieved
at low cast

Seismic Resistancerigid heavy weight

structures do not
perform well in
seismic zones
Overall price - Higher
Price per square
meter.
Architecture- achieved
at higher cost

GENERALLY BUILDINGS ARE TO BE DESIGNED AS

PINNED EXCEPT FOR BUILDING SPAN >30M OR
CRANE CAPACITY OF MORE THAN 5 TONS OR HEIGHT
GREATER THAN 9 M

STANDARD PURLIN LAPS SHOULD BE 385 mm

Optimisation of frame
Basic Frame

Width of the frame = 20 m

Height of the frame = 6 m
Length of the frame = 70 m
Bay spacing l = 7 m
Slop of roof i= 1:10
Wind speed v = 43 m/s
Seismic zone = 4
