Design of Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) Structure

Oct 29, 2026

This paper presents the design of a pre-engineered building (PEB) structure with emphasis on green building aspects and reduced material waste. It discusses the role of BIM and software interoperability to detect and resolve design clashes before construction begins. The study outlines a workflow using ETABS for member design and STAAD Pro with RAM Connection and IDEASTATICA BIMLink for connection design. The structure is designed with non-prismatic members for node bending moments following relevant Indian and steel design standards and load calculations.

In India 67 million tons of food get wasted annually accounting for 92000 crores and being a developing country there will always be a need for an industrial structure for storing and other industrial activity. With the increasing demand for industrial sheds, the structures need to be designed fast and accurately. Any discrepancy and clash in the design of structure cause wastage and the use of BIM software can easily detect and solve such problems before the work even started. ThePEB structure has 21,840 m3 and consists of nonprismatic members designed for bending moments at their respective nodes. The members are designed asperIS800 and connection as per AISC and IS. The project uses different software for designing such as ETABS, STAAD PRO, RAM CONNECTION and IDEASTAICA along with hand calculation following IS 875 parts 1, 2, and 3 for load calculation and IS 800 Key Words: Structure, Designing, Steel, Green Building, Pollution, wastage, BIM, Technology, software. 1. INTRODUCTION Advances in Technology make possible to design structure more accurately with least possible clashes with other aspects of the structure. This is now possible with the help of BIM and different software interoperability. With the growing demand of industry, housing sector, need ofstorage units etc. The PEBs structure is intelligently design to take forces and can be constructed rapidly. ThePEBs planned and members are fabricated in factory and only need to be assembled at site, this help in reducing construction time considerably. . The advantage of PEB structure is that it can be constructed quickly with lesser amount of material in weight being used. As all the members are fabricated in factory and members need to be transported so it also cost lesser in transportation charges and easier to reach places that are harder to reach. The greenhouse gases due to steel construction is lesser comparing to concrete construction and the need of framing for concreting, hydrating, and curing period is not required in steel construction. With the help of BIM and interoperability of different software to create and design structure we can reduce the wastage of material and time of construction. 1.1 OBJECTIVE & RESEARCH PROPOSAL In the project we studied that extent of integration possible using different software’s on one projects working on single point. We use ETABS to design members of structures and import the design file to STAAD Pro to design connection using RAM connection in STAAD pro. STAAD pro RAM connection only able to design generic connection inside STAAD PRO, so we used IDEASTATICA BIMLink to design connection from scratch using same design file 2. MATERIALS AND METHOD There are various types of methods available according to the Indian Standard code – 􀁸 Limit State Method (LSM) 􀁸 Working State Method (WSM) 􀁸 Load Factor Method (LFM) or Ultimate Load Method (ULM) Here LSM is used for member analysis. In philosophy, LSM is such that the structure safely carries all the load over its entire life span without failing. The
