ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It give us immense pleasure to present this Project report entitled A Comparative Study

of Performance of Pre-Engineered Building with Mezzanine Floor Systems

for Various Bays and Bracing Systems. I am very much thankful to Mrs. S. D.
Kuralkar Madam for her indispensable guidance, untimely support and encouragement
through the course of this investigation, without which the preparation of this report would
not be possible.
I would also like to offer my thanks to Dr. S. B. Allampallewar (H.O.D). I am also
thankful to all teaching and non-teaching staff members of civil engineering department.
Lastly I also would like to thank my parents, friends and family members for their continuous
support.

 ABSTRACT

Large Span, Column free structures are the most vital in any type of industrial structures and
Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) fulfills this requirement along with reducing time and cost as
compared to conventional Steel Building (CSB). The present work includes the comparatively
study and design of Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) and Conventional steel frames. Design
of the structure is being done in Staad - Pro software and the same is then compared with
conventional type, in terms of weight which in turn reduces the cost. Three examples have
been taken for the study. Comparison of Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) and Conventional
steel frames is done in two examples and in the third example, Pre Engineered Building
structure with increased bay space is taken for the study. In the present work, Pre Engineered
Buildings (PEB) and Conventional Steel Building is designed for wind loads as per IS 875-
part 3.
3 bays , 5 bays ,7 bays,9 bays conventional steel buildings are compared including knee
bracings and cross bracings.Variation of axial force, bending moment, deformation along
wind direction is studied for 3 bays , 5 bays ,7 bays,9 bays conventional steel buildings are
compared including knee bracings and cross bracings. Effects of mezzanine floor is also
included at mid span of each column. Pre Engineered Buildings have bolted connections and
hence can also be reused after demolishing. Thus, pre-engineered buildings can be shifted or
expanded as per the requirements in future. In this paper we will discuss the various
advantages of pre-engineered buildings and also, with the help of three examples, a
comparison will be made between pre-engineered buildings and conventional steel structures.

Keywords: - Pre Engineered Building, wind load, conventional structure, Staad-pro software,
reduce the cost.
