Abstract
The structural Concept of Industrial Buildings is planned mostly as steel buildings. In that Pre-Engineered buildings are being desired over conventional buildings for industrial construction due to its economy and fast construction. Pre Engineered Buildings are engineered at a factory and assembled at site. The preengineered building system is one of the fastest mounting building systems in the world. Long Span, Column free structures are the most essential in any type of industrial structures and Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) fulfils this requirement along with reduced time and cost as compared to conventional structures. After introducing the concept of pre-engineered building (PEB), the design helps in optimizing the materials involved in the design. The adoptability of PEB in the place of Conventional Steel Building
(CSB) design concept resulted in many advantages, includes economy and easier fabrication. Possibilities of long span column free structures are more essential for industrial structures. PEB concept is versatile not only due to its quality predesigning and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction. The concept includes the technique of providing the best possible section according to the optimum requirement. This paper is a comparative study of PEB concept and CSB concept. The study is achieved by designing a typical frame of a proposed Industrial Warehouse building using both the concepts and analysing the designed frames using the structural analysis and design software Staad.Pro
