Project 2
Aim: To model and design a Proposed PEB Warehouse using STAAD.Pro with the following Technical specifications.
About Pre Engineering Buildings:
Pre-engineered buildings are factory-built buildings shipped to the site and assembled by bolting together.
- The columns and beams are custom fabricated I sections with end plates and holes for bolting at both ends.
- I sections are made by cutting steel plates of desired thickness and welding them together.
- Engineering is done specifically for that building to satisfy structural and aesthetic requirements.
- To optimize the structural efficiency the shape of beams can be tailored.
Given:
The plan view and elevation views of the PEB are shown below.






Procedure:
Step 1: Start Modeling PEB frame in Staad Workspace as per given data.

Step 2: Apply section properties to the members. Provide release and specification, also provide support.


Step 3: Go to Loading and assign loads.
Load Calculation:
1. Dead load -
Self weigth on purlins = 10 kg/m2 = 0.1 kN/m2.
= 0.1 x 8.045 + 0.1 x 8.0 = 1.60 kN/m.
Seft weight on portals = 15 kg/m2 = 0.15 kN/m2.
= 0.15 x 8.045 + 0.15 x 8.0 = 2.41 kN/m.
Assumed weight of purlin = 100 x 100 x 10 = 14.9 kg/m.
UDL load due to purlin over the main frame = (no. of purlin x weight of purlin per m)/rafter length.
No of purlin = round off (Rafter length/purlin spacing)+1
= round off (31.34/8.916)+1 = 5.
UDL due to purlin over main rafter = 5 x 8 x 14.9 = 596/31.34 = 19.0 kg/m = 0.19 kN/m.
Total UDL on main rafter = 1.60 + 0.19 = 1.79 kN/m.
Total UDL on roof on gable rafter = 1.79/2 = 0.895 kN/m.
Weight of side wall sheet = 5 kg/m2 = 5 x 8.045 + 5 x 8.0 = 80.225 kg/m = 0.802 kN/m.
Weight of sag rods and bracing = 5 kg/m2 = 0.802 kN/m.
Weight of girts = 22.1 kg/m = 0.221 kN/m.
Total weight of girts = 0.221 + 0.802 = 1.02 kN/m.
Assumed weight of eave strut = 10.7 kg/m.
Weight of eave gutter = 5.89 kg/m.
Load due to eave gutter and eave strut = 10.7 + 5.89 = 16.59 kg.
= 16.59 x 8.045 + 16.59 x 8.0 = 266.18 kg = 2.66 kN.
Self weight of RCC slab 150 mm thick for mezzanine = 25 x 0.15 x 7.2 = 27 kN/m.
Density of concrete = 25 kN/m3.
Self weight of structural member for mezzanine = 44.2 kg/m = 0.442 kN/m.
Floor finish load for mezzanine = 150 kg/m2 = 1.5 kN/m.
Addition load for mezzanine = 500 kg/m2 = 5 kN/m.
Total load on mezzanine floor = 27 + 0.442 + 1.5 + 5 = 33.94 kN/m.
2. Live Load
On roof and canopy = 57 kg/m2 = 57 x 8.045 + 57 x 8.0 = 914.56 kg/m = 9.14 kN/m.
On gable rafter = 9.14/2 = 4.57 kN/m.
On mezzanine floor = 400 kg/m2 = 400 x 8.045 + 400 x 8.0 = 64.1 kN/m.
Assume eave gutter size = 250 x 250 x 1 mm.
= 0.25 x 0.25 x 10 = 0.625 kN/m.
On main column = 0.625 x 8.045 + 0.625 x 8.0 = 10.0 kN.
On gable column = 10/2 = 5 kN.
3. Collateral Load
Collateral Load on Roof
- Load of Electrical fittings = 0.1 kN/m2
- Load of Sprinklers = 0.03 kN/m2
- A 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 Mezzanine Floor (due to false ceiling & electrical fittings) = 0.2 x 8 = 1.6 kN/m
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 kN-m
Collateral Load on Jack Beam due to service line= 2.5 kN/m
Collateral Load on Mezzaline False Ceiling = 3.2 kN/m
4. Seismic Load
As per IS: 1893 - 2016
Seismic zone - III - Z = 0.16
Rf - 4.0
I - 1.0
SS - 3.0
25% of Live Load on roof considered for calculation of seismic forces.
100% of the collateral load on the roof is considered for the calculation of seismic forces.
50% of (Live load + Collateral load) on the mezzanine floor is considered for the calculation of seismic forces.
100% of Dead load considered for calculation of seismic forces.
5. Wind Load
Basic wind speed Vb = 39 m/s.
K1 = 1.00.
K2 = 1.05.
K3 = 1.00.
K4 = 1.00.
Coefficient of cyclonic wind = 1.0.
Kd = 0.9.
Ka(Rafter) = 0.8 or as per tributary area.
Ka(Column) = 0.8245 or as per tributary area.
Ka(Purlin) = 0.9721 or as per tributary area.
Ka(Side Runner) = 0.978 or as per tributary area.
Area averaging factor = (0.8 + 0.8245 + 0.9721 + 0.978)/4 = 0.89.
Kc = 0.9.
Cpi = +/- 0.2.
Design wind speed = Vb x K1 x K2 x K3 x K4.
= 39 x 1.0 x 1.05 x 1.0 x1.0 = 40.95 m/s.
Wind pressure = 0.6 x 40.95^2 = 1.00 kN/m2.
Design wind pressure = 1 x 0.9 x 0.89 x 0.9 = 0.72 kN/m2.
