Abstract
Steel is the most preferred material by designers for industrial structures because of its advantageous properties, namely, tensile strength, ductility, and durability. Industrial steel structures are commonly used for manufacturing and storage works requiring large uninterrupted dimensions. This requirement of structure is fulfilled using pre-engineered buildings (PEB). PEB is one of the widely used concepts as it optimizes steel consumption in comparison with the conventional steel building (CSB) and thus contributes to the reduction of cost and project duration without affecting the lateral stability during earthquakes. The lateral stability of the structure is ensured by providing a suitable bracing system. In this paper, the comparative behaviour of conventional and pre-engineered buildings is studied by providing different types of bracings (viz. X, V, K, and diagonal) using Staad Pro. Results indicate that PEB with diagonal bracing reduces displacement and natural time period by 17.39 and 28.02%, respectively, when compared with CSB. The study concludes that the provision of diagonal bracing contributes to improving the performance of PEB.
