Analysis and design of pre-engineered industrial warehouse using IS: 800 and AISC

Abstract

Pre-engineered construction is one of the new trend-setting technology globally, because of its suitability to the current era demands of fast and flexible construction, economical, sustainable, and ecofriendly construction. The analysis and design of pre-engineering buildings are also attracting the attention of design engineers. In this context, the design of an efficient and economical design is of prime concern. The present paper is an analytical study on the design and analysis of Industrial warehouses as per IS: 800-2007, and AISC design specifications. The analysis is executed under two different cases, out of which in one case optimal cross-sectional details are provided based on critical loading combinations of each code of practice. In other case, similar cross-sections were considered for both codes of practice. The critical load combinations and the locations of the maximum design forces in each case and the relative comparison of these between the two codal practices of IS:800 and AISC are discussed.
