Advantage PEBToday many companies in India are adopting new manufacturing technology for the erection of the plants. Pre-engineered buildings (PEB) are the latest trend in the country. PEB are made putting together readymade blocks and the cost of these buildings is 20 – 25 per cent lower than conventional concrete buildings.  The current potential of demand in India as per data from economic times is around 1.2 million tonnes.
PEB is metal building that consists of light gauge metal standing seam roof panels on steel purlins spanning between rigid frames with light gauge metal wall cladding. PEB system is one of the fastest growing steel building systems in the world. It offers speed, quality and values its ideal for any non-residential low-rise buildings. Advantages of PEB are fast erection, lower cost as compared to other conventional building set up, and structure can easily be expanded to need.
Elements of PEBThe primary framing structure of a PEB is an assembly of I-shaped members, often referred as I-beams. In PEB, the I-beams used are usually formed by welding together steel plates to form the I-section. The I-beams are then field-assembled (e.g. bolted connections) to form the entire frame of the PEB. Some manufacturers taper the framing members (varying in web depth) according to the local loading effects. Larger plate dimensions are used in areas of higher load effects.
Other forms of primary framing can include trusses, mill sections rather than 3-plate welded, castellated beams, etc. The choice of economic form can vary depending on factors such as local capabilities (e.g. manufacturing, transportation, construction) and variations in material vs. labour costs.
Typically, primary frames are 2D type frames (i.e. may be analyzed using 2-Dimensional techniques). Advances in CAD technology, materials and manufacturing capabilities have assisted a growth in alternate forms of PEB such as the tension fabric building and more sophisticated analysis (e.g. 3D) as is required by some building codes.
Cold formed Z- and C-shaped members may be used as secondary structural elements to fasten and support the external cladding. Roll-formed profiled steel sheet, wood, tensioned fabric, precast concrete, masonry block, glass curtain wall or other materials may be used for the external cladding of the building.
