Abstract:

Over the recent years, innumerable upheaval has been done in the field of steel construction industry, out of which pre-Engineered buildings (PEB) are one of the most remarkable ones. Pre-Engineered buildings are typical steel structures which are pre-fabricated and the designs are pre-determined which are contemplated to be more cost efficient, because of the tapered sections being utilized, in accordance with its bending moment requirement. These types of structures will not only be cost effective and environmentally friendly but also more flexible, thus eradicating the failure due to sequel of seismic forces. PEBs are generally industrial structures, which are designed for enormous spans. In this research work, the variation of structural behaviour of PEBs when it’s been embraced with considerably increased spans (30 m, 60 m and 90m) are compared and studied. In general, hot rolled tapered I-sections are used in erection of a PEB. Due to the inadequacy in connection configurations available, Pre- Engineered light weight cold form steel structures with tubular steel sectional connections are not well renowned. An attempt is also been made to bring out tubular sectional connections for the beam- rafter junction in all the PEBs deigned for 30 m, 60 m and 90m using E350 steel. Typical connections are proposed for both main frames and the gable frames of the PEB. The outcome of this study appears to be contended for at both the junctions in 30 m span and 60 m span, but 90 m main joint fails, due to the substantial bending moments developed across the major axis. So, these set of connections can be adopted for PEBs up to a moderate span, which helps in reducing the weight of steel that is been utilized in the construction, which successively foster sustainability.
