Performance of Pre-Engineered Building over Conventional Steel Structures

Abstract

The study intends to compare the performance between conventional steel structure and pre-engineered structure in terms of shear force, deflection, axial force, steel weight to obtain an economical design. It presents a design of different industrial building of dimensions width 35m,30m,20m and length 60m,55m,45m,30m,70,30m, and eave height 9m. The truss of the conventional steel structure has been designed with same span.The work is carried out with the design of conventional steel structure and pre- engineered components. Loads acting on the structure are calculated as per IS 875: 1987 (Part I) for dead loads, IS 875: 1987 (Part II) for live loads and IS 875: 1987 (Part III) for wind loads and the structure is designed as per IS 800: 2007 steel codesand also MBMA -2002 (Metal Building Manufacturer Codes) and AISC – 1989 (American Institute of Steel Construction Manual) are used. The proposed structure is modelled and analyzed in STAAD. Pro V8i, structural analysis software to obtain safe design.
