Comparative Study on PEB Structure and Conventional Industrial Building

Abstract

Cost of steel is increasing day by day and use of steel has become inevitable in the construction industry in general and in industrial building in particular. Hence to achieve economic sustainability it is necessary to use steel to its optimum quantity. Long span, Column free structures are the most essential in any type of industrial structures and Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) fulfil this requirement along with reduced time and cost as compared to conventional structures. This methodology is versatile not only due to its quality predesigning and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction. In this paper an attempt has been to present comparative study of conventional and Pre-engineered steel structures which is a truss of span 30m carrying a crane of 10tonne, 15t and 20t. It has shown considerable reduction in the quantity of material.
