The demand of industrial and warehouse building construction was increasing day by day with development of the industrial areas. Conventional practice of construction for industrial steel buildings was no sufficient to fulfil the demands. There was a requirement of speedy construction practice with economy. Preengineered buildings concept was fulfilling all the requirements against demand because of it offers fast construction (erection) with low cost as compare to conventional steel buildings.
In the present study total 72 steel frames are analyzed and designed as per the guidelines of Indian standards. There are three types of steel structures frames (conventional steel building frame, pre-engineered building frame and open web building frame) are selected for the study. To obtain the best optimized section number of frames are analyzed for varying span of (15m, 20m, 25m and 30m.) and varying height (6m, 7.5m, and 9.14m) for wind speed 39m/s and 50m/s. On the basis of analysis results a comparison is established between all the study frames.
