Design comparison of conventional steel structure with pre - engineered structure

Abstract

Abstract The pre-engineered buildings are the steel buildings which are predesigned and prefabricated. For pre-engineered structure the member size is provided as per the requirement at the location and hence the members are tapered in nature. The study is on the design of the pre-engineered structure and its comparison with conventional structure. The objective of the study is to analyze and design a structure as a conventional steel structure and Pre-engineered structure and to compare the design of the structure in terms of structure weight. The use of cold-formed steel sections as secondary members reduces the self-weight of the pre-engineered structure. It was expected that the pre-engineered buildings will be more economical than conventional structure.
