What Is The Pre Engineered Metal Building?
Pre Engineered metal buildings are components, including roof, wall, and frame are pre-manufactured inside the factory and then sent to your construction site by shipping container, the building needs to be assembled on your construction site, that’s why it is named the Pre-Engineered Building (PEB). Pre-engineered metal buildings, as contemporary architectural solutions, offer numerous benefits, it is more cost-effective, customizable, and quick to build and erect than traditional cement brick buildings. Their application has become increasingly prevalent in the current construction industry. If you are considering building a pre engineered metal building, please get in touch with K-HOME for reference designs and quotes
The Main Structure of Pre Engineered Metal Buildings
The main structure of pre engineered metal buildings usually includes the following parts:
Steel Beams and Steel Columns: The primary load-bearing elements of pre engineered metal buildings consist of steel beams and steel columns, which typically utilize H-shaped or I-shaped. High-strength steel is commonly employed as the material to guarantee structural integrity and stability. Typical methods for connecting steel beams and steel columns include welding and high-strength bolt connections, among others.
Support System: To improve the overall stability of the PEB steel structure, pre-engineered metal buildings typically incorporate a support system that includes column and roof supports, among others. This support system may consist of cross supports, tie rods, and similar components, with materials generally consistent with those used for steel beams and columns.
Roof and Wall System: The roof and walls of PEBs may be constructed using lightweight materials, including colored steel plates and sandwich panels, which offer excellent thermal insulation, heat retention, and waterproof capabilities.
Foundation: The foundation is an important part of the pre engineered metal buildings, usually using an independent foundation or strip foundation. The design of the foundation needs to consider factors such as the load transmitted from the superstructure and geological conditions.
Pre Engineered Metal Building Design
Load calculation: Various loads need to be accurately calculated before pre engineered metal building design, including dead loads (structure self-weight, roof, and wall material weight, etc.) and live loads (personnel, equipment, snow load, wind load, etc.). According to different use functions and regions, the load values are determined in accordance with relevant specifications.
Structural Analysis: Our engineer will use professional software to conduct a force analysis on the pre engineered metal buildings. Evaluate the strength, stiffness, stability, and other essential criteria of the structure to ascertain the appropriate dimensions and cross-sectional shapes of the components.
Earthquake-Resistant Design: Implement earthquake-resistant design principles in accordance with the seismic fortification level pertinent to the building’s location. Effectively establish earthquake-resistant lines to guarantee structural integrity during seismic events.

Pre Engineered Metal Buildings Application Fields
Industrial plants: Pre engineered metal buildings are widely used in the industrial field, such as factory steel structure workshops, prefabricated steel warehouses, steel crane building etc. It can meet the requirements of large span and high space, and is convenient for equipment layout and production process organization.
Logistics warehouse: It is used for buildings such as logistics centers and supply chain warehouses, with good bearing capacity and space utilization. It can easily set up shelves and loading and unloading equipment.
Commercial buildings: Such as supermarkets, shopping malls, etc., with simple and beautiful shapes, fast construction speed, and can be put into use as soon as possible.
Indoor stadiums: Some small indoor complex stadiums use pre engineered metal buildings, which can provide a large column-free space to meet the needs of sports activities.
Agricultural buildings: For example, breeding plants, greenhouses, etc., have the advantages of low cost and convenient construction.
