Design of PEB structures Challenges and Way forward (Part 1)

We have seen the difference of opinion between group of engineers while designing the PEB structures. I believe there are many areas related to PEB structures wherein discussion is required. We have received many requests from engineers to host a live discussion on this important subject. 

Few of the questions, received from the group of engineers are listed below:

1)    What are the differences between design of PEB and conventional steel structure?

2)    What are the codes to be followed for design of PEB structures?

3)    Is section-12 of IS 800:2007 is applicable to PEB structures?

4)    How to design the anchor bolts for PEB structures?

5)    How to decide support condition for PEB structures?

6)    What are the design parameters to be considered in the software for design of PEB structures?

7)    How to decide minimum web thickness for built up I sections?

8)    How to estimate wind force for design of the low-rise structures?

9)    What is lateral torsional buckling and why it is critical limit state for PEB structures?

10) Can we consider Z purlins as giving lateral support to main rafter?

 As it is a vast area, we are planning to create short term modules for design of PEB (steel) structures focusing on the practical difficulties.

With an aim to collate such practical difficulty areas in design of PEB structures, the live technical discussion is organized.

 Date : 14-MAR-21

Time : 11:00 AM IST

Facilitator : Bhavin Shah, Founder & CEO – SQVe Consultants
