A Comparative Study of Pre-Engineered Building Using Cold-Form Sections with Conventional Building

Abstract: In current times, the construction sector has seen a sudden change from traditional building techniques to more advanced and cost-effective solutions. Among these, Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) using cold-formed steel sections have emerged as a highly efficient alternative to conventional construction methods involving hot-rolled steel or reinforced concrete. Cold-formed sections, known for their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio, offer significant advantages. In the study, a comparative analysis of the industrial warehouse structure located at Nagpur was performed by using STAAD-Pro software. Also, conventional steel structure with the same dimensions and configuration was analyzed and designed using STAAD-Pro software. Dead load, Live load, and Wind load were adopted for the structures by using Indian codes.
