ABSTRACT:
Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) concept is a new
conception of single storey industrial building
construction. This methodology is versatile not only
due to its quality pre-designing and prefabrication,
but also due to its light weight and economical
construction. The concept includes the technique of
providing the best possible section according to the
optimum requirement. The pre-engineered steel
building system construction has great advantages
to the single storey buildings, practical and efficient
alternative to conventional buildings, the System
representing one central model within multiple
disciplines. This paper deals with the
construction ,various types, analysis ,design and
application of pre engineered buildings.
KEYWORDS: Pre engineered buildings, framing
system, design.
INTRODUCTION:
Technological improvement over the year
has contribute d 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 1960s 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.
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
by
the
Metal Building Associations (MBMA) shows that
about 60% of the non residential low rises building
in USA are pre engineered buildings.
Although PEB systems are
extensively used in industrial and many other non
residential constructions world wide, it is relatively
a new concept in India. These concepts were
introduced to the Indian markets lately in the late
1990s with the opening up of the economy and a
number of multi nationals setting up their projects.
The market potential of PEBs is 1.2 million tones
per annum. The current pre engineered steel
building manufacturing capacity is 0.35 million
tones per annum. The industry is growing at the
compound rate of 25 to 30 %.With respect to design

PRE ENGINEERING BUILDING CONCEPT:
PRIMARY FRAMING SYSTEM:
In conventional steel building ,millproduced hot rolled sections (beams and columns)
are used. The size of each member is selected on the
basis of the maximum internal stress in the
member .Since a hot rolled section has a constant
depth ,many parts of the member (represented by
the hatched area), in areas of low internal stresses
are in excess of design requirements.
TYPES OF FRAME
There are Several types of main frames
used in PEB buildings, The choice of the type of
main frame to be used is dependent on :1. Total width of the building.

PRE
APPLICATIONS:
Pre engineered buildings have their applications in
buildings like schools ,bridges ,indoor stadium
roofs, outdoor stadium canopies, railway platform
shelters, metro stations ,workshops, warehouses,
gas stations, factories.
ADVANTAGES:
1) Buildings are typically delivered in just a few
weeks after approval of drawings. Foundation and
anchor bolts are cast parallel with finished, ready
for the site bolting. Our study shows that in India
the use of PEB will reduce total construction time
of the project by at least 50%. This also allows
faster occupancy and earlier realization of revenue.
2) Due to the systems approach, there is a
significant saving in design, manufacturing and on
site erection cost. The secondary members and
cladding nest together reducing transportation cost.
3) Buildings can be easily expanded in length by
adding additional bays. Also expansion in width and
and over.

CONCLUSION:
Thus from this paper it is evident that pre
engineered buildings are good in every aspects
when compared with conventional buildings and it
can be a best alternative to normal conventional
building.
