Study of Pre-Engineered Industrial Building - A Review

sustainable, and structurally efficient building systems. Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) have emerged as a modern alternative to Conventional Steel Buildings (CSBs) and Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) structures due to their optimized design, prefabrication advantages, reduced material consumption, and faster construction timelines. This review paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of previous research studies conducted between 2014 and 2025 on the analysis, design, optimization, and performance evaluation of pre-engineered industrial buildings. The literature highlights comparative assessments based on structural weight, displacement behavior, bending moment distribution, steel consumption, seismic performance, wind response, construction time, and cost efficiency. The review identifies that most studies rely on STAAD.Pro or ETABS-based static analysis and emphasize material optimization through tapered built-up sections. Although PEB systems consistently demonstrate superior economic and structural performance over conventional systems, significant research gaps remain in areas such as integrated performance optimization, life-cycle cost analysis, hybrid structural systems, advanced dynamic analysis, sustainability quantification, and AI-based structural optimization. This paper consolidates past findings and identifies potential directions for future research to enhance structural efficiency, safety, and sustainability of pre-engineered industrial buildings.
