Analysis and Design of Industrial Structure with Overhead Travelling Crane Using Pre-engineered Building Concept: A Case Study Comparing Indian and American Standards

Pre-engineered building is a new form of construction practice that is slowly emerging in Indian construction industry, which has large potential to replace conventional steel structure. The objective of this research paper is analogous examination of analysis and design of PEB structure with EOT crane, according to Indian Standards (Chia-Ming and Jong-Kook in J Constr Steel Res 70:248–255, 2011; Bureau of Indian Standards in Indian Standard General Construction in Steel Code of Practice (IS 800:2007), pp 1–143, 2007; Bureau of Indian Standards in Indian Standard Code of Practice for Design loads (other than earthquake) for Buildings and Structures Part-1 Dead Loads (IS 875 Part-1), pp 1–37, 1989; Bureau of Indian Standards in Indian Standard Code of Practice for Design loads (other than earthquake) for Buildings and Structures Part-2 Imposed Loads (IS 875 Part-2), pp 4–18, 1989; Bureau of Indian Standards in Indian Standard Code of Practice for Design loads (other than earthquake) for Buildings and Structures Part-3 Wind Loads (IS 875 Part-3), pp 1–56, 2015) and American Standards (Metal Building Manufacturers Association in Metal Building Systems Manual, pp 1–335, 2012; ANSI/AISC 360-10 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. Chicago, IL: American Institute of Steel Construction, 2010; ASCE/SEI 7-10 in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. Reston, VA: American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010). This paper presents comparative results of different clauses in each of the above-mentioned codes and its results in terms of economical aspect, percentage difference of member capacities and deflection criteria under same primary loading conditions and distinct impact factor considered for frames and Crane Gantry Beam design. This analytical study would further help for in-depth understanding of design philosophy used by Indian Standards and American Standards used for designing. The scope of our study is only with regards to gravity loading, crane loading, prevailing wind loading conditions and their combinations as per IS: 800-2007 and ASCE-7-10.
