Seismic Evaluation of Pre-Engineering and Conventional Steel Structure

Abstract

In recent years, the introduction of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) design of structures has helped in optimizing design. The construction of PEB in the place of Conventional Steel Building (CSB) design concept resulted in many advantages as the members are design as per bending moment diagram and thus reducing the steel requirement. The present work involves the comparative study and design of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) and Conventional Steel Building. Design of the structure is being done in SAP 2000vs19 software according to IS 1893 code for seismic analysis. Six different models have been taken for the study. Several results are obtained from analysis done with the help of software and conclusions are made between models in reference to story drift, displacement and seismic base shear. The Conventional steel building and Pre-Engineered building calls for very fast construction of buildings and with good aesthetic looks and quality construction. Conventional steel building and Pre-Engineered building can be used extensively for construction of industrial and residential buildings.
