A Comparative Study on Pre-Engineered Building and Conventional Steel Structures

Abstract

This paper aims to provide comparative analyzed study between two outstanding structural construction methods i.e. Pre-Engineered Buildings and Conventional Steel Buildings. In recent years, introduction of Pre Engineered Building in the design steel of structures has helped in enhancingthe design. Adoptability ofPre Engineered Buildings in place of Conventional Steel Building resulted in many advantages, including long span, column free structures, economy and easier fabrication, are the most essential requirements in any type of industrial structures. Pre Engineered Buildings fulfills all structural requirement along with reduced time and cost as compared to conventional structures. Pre-Engineered Buildingsmethodology is versatile not only due to its quality pre-designing and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction.In this paper a detailed comparative study between Pre Engineered Building & Conventional Steel Structure is carried out. Discussed on Design, Structure Weight, Delivery, Foundations, Construction cost, performance, Resistance, Architecture, Responsibility and Future expansion of both are Pre Engineered Building & Conventional Steel Structure. Through the comparative study it is observed that the Pre-engineered Building structures are more economical than Conventional Steel Building structures.
