Pre-engineered buildings Rushank Mishra -2008BARCO12 Gyandeep Jaiswal -2008BARCO6S Akshay Gupta -2008BARCO73 Pre-Engineered Building (PEB’s) + A Pre-Engineered Building is a metal building that consists of light gauge metal standing seam roof panels on steel purlins spanning between rigid frames with light gauge metal wall cladding. It is a relatively flexible structure vs. a conventional steel framed building. In other words, it has a much greater vertical and horizontal deflection. The intent for this publication is to recognize the nature and limitations of pre-engineered. + Pre-engineered building concept is lely used many of the industrialized countries. It consists of a complete steel-framed building system, with components pre-designed to fit together in a vast variety of combinations to meet the unique requirements of specific end uses.

Butt Plate The end plate ofa structural member usually used to rest against alike plate of another member in forming a connection. Sometimes called a split plate or bolted end plate. Bay ‘The space between frame centre lines or primary supporting members in the longitudinal direction of the building. Brace Rods Rds or cables used in roof and walls to transfer loads such as wind loads, and seismic and crane thrusts to the foundation. (Also often used to plumb buildings, but not designed to replace erection cables.) Clear Height: Thisis the distance between the Finished Floor Level to the bottom of knee joint. Roof Slope (x/10): This is the angle ofthe roof with respect to the horizontal. The most common roof slopes are 0.5/10 and 41/10. Any practical roof slope is possible. a ‘ a | Whenever possible maintain equal bay lenaths | throughout the bulding.

Typical Pre-Engineered Building Assembly The “Rigid Frame” assembly is the most common frame used in pre- engineered buildings. Basically, the rigid frame consists of a structural steel —_(hot-rolled) moment-resisting column and beam assembly that carries the cold- formed roof purlins (usually “2” shaped) and wall girts (usually “C” shaped). In addition, diagonal rod bracing is required in the walls to resist horizontal loading on the building (i.e., wind loads and/or seismic). Rod bracing is also provided within the roof framing to resist "racking", or twisting of the building. adnate DIFFERENT TYPES PRIMARY FRAMING SYSTEM MEZZANINE FLOOR DETAILS of FITTINGS PARTITION SIDEWALL ROOF EXTENSION MEZZANINE AT ENDWALL ENDWALLROOF EXTENSION WITH CURVED EAVE WITH ‘CURVED EAVE WITHOUT SOFFIT PROJECTION PROJECTION TYPES OF PURLIN + ZSection Purlin used in the roofing at sports complex, MANIT Pre-Engineered Building Process ‘These are the stages which are involved in the Pre-Engineered building ADVANTAGES 1. Fast Project Construction: - Buildings are fabricated and delivered within a short period due to standardisation. - Fast erection because all members are field bolted 2. Functional Versatility: - Modular construction + Large clear Spans (up to 100m ~ Long Bay Spacing (upto 13m), = Buildings are easily expandable on all sides (allowing for future expansion), 3. Architectural Flexibility: Aesthetic features such as fascias, parapets and curved eaves greatly improve the appearance of the building. Readily avaiable interface details between steel and other materials (glazing, block wall, curtain wall, ete), 4. Low Maintenance and Operating Costs: - Virtually no maintenance required for al panels. Roof requires only periodic cleaning, Annual washing of Eave Gutters. - Watertight roofs. Possible Disadvantages 1. Relatively short life-span . Sometimes has an “industrial” or “warehouse” look to it . The foundation system is NOT designed by the manufacturer . On-site alteration in design can’t be done. Application of Pre-Engineered Buildings + Commercial buildings Factories Auditoriums and Halls Administration buildings Processing mills Stadiums.
