WIND LOAD ANALYSIS FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDING WITH DIFFERENT BRACING PATTERNS AND ITS COMPARISON WITH PRE ENGINEERED BUILDING

Steel structures are the most common and smart choice for industrial construction they are basically because of its ability to create large span space at low cost. Along with the existence of Conventional Steel building (CSB), the PEB came into being from 1960s. The methodology tracked followed in PEB is highly multifaceted not just because of the quality in pre-designing and pre-fabrication but also due to the light weight outcome and economically sound factor. In this study, using SAP 2000-18 the truss chord members are designed for different sections such as ISLC/ISA, UB/UC and SHS. The most economic truss chord sections is utilised for the design of the industrial building, the industrial buildings are thus designed to carry out wind analysis with different bracings such as X- bracing, diagonal bracing and k- bracing. Therefore, the most optimised structured is then compared with PEB structure for the same parameters
