Project 2
Aim:
To model and design a proposed Pre Engineered Building Warehouse (Rigid frame structure) using STAAD.Pro with the following technical specifications.
Procedure:
- Plan view, elevation views of the Pre Engineered Building are as shown below.






- We have to model the PEB frame in STAAD.PRO as per the above given drawings.
- The modelled PEB frame in STAAD.PRO will appear as shown in the below figure.

- Supports are added to the columns as needed.
- Releases and specifications are also applied wherever necessary in the modelled frame.

- All the section properties and materials are also applied to all the members respectively as mentioned in the question.

-
Calculation of Design Loads on PEB warehouse :-
- Dead Load
- Dead Load on Rafter
- Weight of Roof Sheet = 5 Kg/m2
- Weight of Purlin and sag rods = 5 Kg/m2
- Additional weight = 5 Kg/m2
Total weight of rafter = 15 Kg/m2
Dead load on rafter = 15 x 10 x 8 = 1200 N/m = 1.2 kN/m
- Dead Load on Purlin = 10 x 10 x 8 = 800 N/m = 0.8 kN/m
- Mezz slab self-weight (150 mm thick slab) = 0.15 x 25 kN/m3 = 3.75 kN/m2
- Floor finishes and additional load on Mezzaline floor = (150 + 500) kg/m2 = 0.65 kN/m2
- Weight of 230mm thick brick wall (4-m height) on Mezzaline floor = 20 kN/m3 x 0.23 x 4 = 18.4 kN/m
- Live Load
- Live Load on roof and canopy = 57 kg/m2 x 10 x 8 = 4.56 kN/m
- Live Load on Mezzaline floor = 400 kg/m2 = 4 kN/m2
- Collateral Load
- Collateral Load on Roof
- Load of electrical fittings = 0.1 kN/m2
- Load of sprinklers = 0.03 kN/m2
- Load of rockwool insulation and bubble wrap insulation = 0.15 kN/m2
- Load of solar panels = 0.15 kN/m2
- Load of ceiling = 0.1 kN/m2
Total Collateral load on Roof = 0.53 x 8 = 4.24 kN/m
- Collateral Load on Mezzaline floor (due to false ceiling and electrical fittings)
= 0.2 x 8 = 1.6 kN/m
- Collateral Load on column due to bracket beam
Load due to service line supported on the beam spanning 8 m width= 150 kg/m x 8 x 10 = 12 kN
Moment acting on column due to service line = 12 x 0.75 = 9 kNm
- Collateral Load on jack beam due to service line= 2.5 kN/m
- Collateral Load on Mezzaline false ceiling = 3.2 kN/m
- Wind Load

25% of Live Load on roof is considered for calculation of seismic forces.
100% of collateral load on roof is considered for calculation of seismic forces.
50% of (Live load + Collateral load) on mezzanine floor is considered for calculation of seismic forces.
100% of Dead load is considered for calculation of seismic forces.
- Loading has been applied on the model.

- Load on the modelled structure can be seen as shown below in the figures.
- All the load combinations are applied on the model wherever necessary.

Design Parameters:
- IS 800 LSD
- FYLD = 345000 for portal frame and mezz beams
- FYLD = 250000 for bracings
- Beam = -1
- STP = 2 for welded sections
- Main = 250 for tie beam
- Ly = Lx = 1.5m for rafter
- Ly = Lx = 3.25m for columns
- Ly = Lx = 4.4m for columns supporting canopy
- Lz = 11m for internal columns
- Ly = Lx = 0.5m for mezz floor beams
- Lz = 6.75m for mezz floor beams
- Ly = 1.7m for canopy beam
- Ratio = 1
Now, the above design parameters have to be applied on the PEB structure.
- Run the analysis on the PEB structure and check for errors.
- Stop any more modelling only after we see no errors after doing the analysis of the PEB warehouse.
Result:
PEB Warehouse has been succesfully modelled and designed with the needed load cases and the specifications. Also analysis has been performed with no errors.
