STUDY OF PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING CONCEPT

Abstract

A pre-engineered steel building (PEB) has now become one of the most efficient and simplified building type in the steel construction industry. PEB has found a wide application in the Indian civil industry. Use of tapered members for columns and rafters is one of the basic properties of PEB. Use of web-tapered members increases the efficiency of the PEB. Rather there are limitations for design of tapered members by Indian code the use of these members is made in the industry which has its design based on the American design. In this study we have made a review over some literature based over the concept and design of PEB. We have also studied the provisions of the codes and made a brief study on PEB.
