Feel kind of interesting!Before my formal introduction on the steel structure/metal building system,please go for the following photo to get a outline of what a prefab steel structure building is!
Introduction on KXD's prefab steel structure/metal building system
Pprefab structures for industrial and commercial functions are a steel structures built over a structural concept of primary members, secondary members, roof and wall sheeting connected to each other and various other building components. These buildings can be provided with different structural and non-structural additions such as skylights, wall lights, turbo vents, ridge ventilators, louvers, roof monitors, doors & windows, trusses, mezzanine floors, fascias, canopies, crane systems, insulation etc., based on the customer's requirements. All the steel buildings are custom designed to be lighter in weight and high in strength. Thus steel building designs have become more flexible, durable and adaptable over the last four decades which has made steel one of the preferred materials for building construction.
PMB/PEB's are ideal for non-residential and wide-span low-rise buildings. Some of the key advantages of PMB/PEB include economical in cost, factory controlled quality, durability, longevity, flexibility in expansion, environmentally friendly, faster installation, etc.
Pre-engineered metal buildings are used for diverse applications such as factories, warehouses, showrooms, supermarkets, aircraft hangars, metro stations, offices, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, community buildings and many more.
As a leading PMB/PEB manufacturer, KXD provides the complete service of engineering, fabrication and erection thus ensuring better quality control at every stage of the process.
Pre-engineered metal buildings consists of following components:
- Primary Members / Main Frames
- Secondary Members / Cold Formed Members
- Roof & Wall Panels
- Accessories, Buyouts, Crane System, Mezzanine System, Insulation, etc.
- Sandwich Panels
PRIMARY MEMBERS / MAIN FRAMES
Primary members are the main load carrying and support members of a pre-engineered building. The main frame members include
columns, rafters and other supporting members. The shape and size of these members vary based on the application and requirements. The frame is erected by bolting the end plates of connecting sections together. All the steel sections and welded plate members are designed in accordance with the applicable sections as per the latest international codes and standards such as GB and IS to meet all the customer specifications.

1.What Is The Concept of Structural Steel Building?
Steel structural building also called Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB) or simply Engineered Metal Buildings (EMB) is a steel structure built over a structural concept of primary and secondary members, and roof sheeting connected to each other. The structural members are custom designed to be high in strength as well as lighter in weight.
2.Why Should I Choose Steel Building Construction?
The best answer to this question lies on the advantages of steel building construction over other construction materials.
YOU CAN BUILD FASTER WITH STEELTime has always equaled money, but it seems like this high-tech era of ours has made it so that every clients wants their building to come in under budget and ahead of schedule. Fast-tracked projects can be a nightmare for architects and construction crews - namely because taking shortcuts can lead to unsafe building practices and a finished product that isn't up to snuff. That all changes with the addition of steel.
Steel parts are pre-engineered to a specific design inside the manufacturing plant and are shipped out, ready to be erected. This speeds up construction time significantly, making it possible to complete large-scale projects in a matter of weeks.
Because the fabrication process is highly quality-controlled, project managers can place their attention on other issues and the pre-cut, ready to assemble parts eliminate the need for measuring and cutting on site. This also takes the element of human error out of the equation, reducing the amount of time spent assembling something only to find out it needs to be re-measured, cut and installed again.
In addition to project time and budget issues, a faster construction timeline also reduces the amount of time your construction project impedes traffic, affects the flow into and out of surrounding businesses and any water or utility disruptions to nearby buildings.
SAVE MONEY WITH STEELMuch of the cost savings you'll gain can be inferred from the labor and cost benefits of decreased construction time. However, building with steel also saves money via other first time and lifetime savings.
- Steel can be recycled. Rather than paying landfill fees for non-recyclable construction waste, your company will be able to recycle steel and metal building components. Due to public interest in decreasing unnecessary constuction waste, most waste removal companies have subsidized programs allowing them to pick up your steel and metal building waste at no cost to you.
- Because steel is so durable, and requires so little maintenance, it is a more economic choice for building owners. Maintenance fees, repairs and replacements are minimal - even over the course of 50 years or more - saving building owners tens of thousands of dollars over the course of the building's lifetime.
- Innovation in steel production, combined with greater competition to meet rising steel demands, has brought steel prices lower than they've been in twenty years. According to the American Institute of Steel Construction, "In 1980, 10 man-hours were required to produce a single ton of steel. Today that same ton of structural steel requires substantially less than a single man-hour." Thus, these cost savings can be being passed on to the consumer.
- Due to a steel structures' almost unrivaled ability to withstand high winds, heavy snow loads, fire and seismic activities, combined with their resistance to pests and decay, insurance companies often offer lower premiums on policies underwritten for metal buildings.
- Faster construction times means fewer interest payments to the lender, who typically requires that interest-payments are made through the duration of the construction process.
When bundled together, these cost-saving benefits make steel one of the most affordable building products on the market.
STEEL IS INCREDIBLY VERSATILEThe versatility of steel is unrivaled. From the ability for structural steel to be molded into virtually any shape to its exterior ability to yield shingle-esque roofing patterns and wood-like siding, steel's versatility is part of what is making it such an attractive option for the residential construction market.
Architects and designers like steel's ability to let their artistic imaginations run wild, while still having the ability to design and construct a building that is both safe and resilient. This same durability is also what allows for the versatile design of large, clear span buildings such as airplane hangers, warehouses, agricultural buildings and indoor arenas. It also permits for the construction of skyscrapers, the tallest of which stands in Dubai at 2722.4 feet (829.8 m) tall. The commercial sector no longer corners the market on steel buildings, either.
This same design versatility and flexibility is now being touted in the residential sector as well. Consider a family who wants to knock out a wall for a remodel or renovation, only to find that a load-bearing wood pillar is an essential component. Now, they have the option of running a steel beam across the ceiling, opening the space up and negating the need for a structural beam below the ceiling line. Additionally, steel and metal are used for siding and roofing materials that far outlast their wood counterparts.

Steel Structure/Metal Building Applications
A:Industrial warehouse/workshop plants
B:Mutl-story residential apartment/office
1) Description of Multi-storey steel building system:
The primary structural elements of a multi-storey steel building, namely
the columns and floor beams, should be laid out with a view to minimising both the cost of the steelwork and the time required for its erection. For any given structure a layout can be determined that optimises the combined beam and column content of the structure, but in most cases functional and architectural considerations have to be taken into account, which mitigates against the design of optimal bay sizes. Consultation between the architect and the engineer in the early stages of planning could help to prevent an uneconomical layout having to be adopted.
The third structural element, after the columns and beams, is
the stabilising system necessary to provide lateral support to the building, i.e.to supply stability under gravity loading and to resist the overturning effects of wind. Obviously, the taller the building the more important the bracing system becomes and in very tall structures the provision of adequate lateral support does in fact become the dominant consideration.
Lateral stability may be provided within the steel structure itself by means of bracing, or moment-resisting beam-column connections or steel shearwalls, or it may be imparted by other building elements, e.g. reinforced concrete service towers, or concrete or brick in-fill panels in the walls. In all cases the stabilising elements may be located within the plan dimensions of the building or in the perimeter walls, or they may even be external to the building.
If a building is to incorporate the stabilising system within the steel structure, the framework can be of the
two-way braced, one-way braced and one-way-rigid, or two-way rigid type.Triangulated bracing is usually cheaper than a stiff moment-resisting frame and should be used wherever access problems do not arise, i.e. where door, window or service openings are not required.
In addition to vertical bracing systems it is necessary to provide stiffness within the plane of each floor, both to maintain the squareness of the floor in plan and to transmit the wind loading on the exterior of the building to the vertical bracing.
Stabilising systems - examples
Figs 7.1 to 7.5 give examples of various bracing systems that can be employed to provide stability to multi-storey buildings. The examples are of general application and illustrate the basic principles involved in such systems. The vertical steel bracing is shown as the X-type for simplicity, but could equally well be
chevron bracing, knee bracing or someother type (the features of the various bracing types are discussed more fully in Chapter 11). The floors are shown as steel-braced, but in practice the bracing function could be furnished by the concrete floor slab, in which case only nominal squaring-up
steel bracing would be required. The systems are applicable to buildings of almost any number of storeys.
Two-way steel bracing
The two-way steel braced system shown in Fig 7.1 is one of the most efficient in terms of stiffness, speed of erection and economy. All beam-to-column connections are of the simple (i.e. hinged) type, so labour input in both columns and beams is minimised and erection can proceed quickly. Being fully steel-framed, the structure is self-supporting and can be completely erected without having to be integrated with other trades. The only drawback is the presence of the braced panels in the exterior walls, which might interfere with the window pattern, but in the light of the current trend towards exposed steelwork
the windows could be set back and the bracing system be expressed boldly as an architectural feature. In very long buildings it would be necessary to provide one or more interior sets of bracing, as shown dotted.
One-way steel bracing
The stiff frame shown in the alternative end elevation of Fig 7.1 is another method of providing transverse stiffness to the structure. All of the transverse frames not only the end ones, would be stiff, but the building would still rely for longitudinal stiffness on the two sets of one-way bracing in the sides. This would be a more costly arrangement than the two-way braced solution, but would remove the drawbacks of the triangulated bracing.
It is more suited to long buildings and has the further advantage that the main (i.e.transverse) floor beams could be shallower, because of their continuity, with consequent reduction in storey height.It must be emphasised, however, that on purely economic grounds triangulated bracing is very much more cost-effective than a moment frame, both in shop fabrication and in erection.
Central service core
Where a building is fairly compact in plan and does not have a great length-to-width ratio,a central service core is a very efficient means of providing stability, as shown in Fig 7.2. e Elevation
Floor framing
In steel-framed buildings the floor framing system almost invariably consists of a series of
main and secondary beams at right angles to each other in plan, with the secondary beams framing into or passing over the tops of the main beams. The floor slab or deck is then carried on top of the secondary beams.
Except where stiff-frame action is required, as discussed under Stabilising Systems above, the main beams are usually simply-supported spans between the columns. If the secondary beams have their top flanges flush with the tops of the main beams they would be framed into the webs of the main beams and would thus also be simply-supported; this would produce a floor grid of minimum depth and would result in a reduction in storey height. However, underfloor services running at right angles to the main beams would then have to pass through holes formed in the webs of these beams, or else be routed
below the main beams, which would increase the floor depth.
If the secondary beams pass over the tops of the main beams, however, they would no longer be simply-supported but be continuous, significantly reducing the mass and especially deflection. The routing of services in both rectangular directions in plan would be facilitated by reason of the space available above the main beams.
The two beam framing systems referred to above represent conventional practice as used on the great majority of small to medium-sized buildings. The beams are ofstraightforward construction and employ standard end connections and are thus easy and cheap to fabricate. A number of non-standard options are available and are worth considering for larger buildings where a high level of repetition of components would justify their use. These are discussed below.
Twin beams
Main beams span between columns and can therefore not normally be made continuous.Continuity can, however, be achieved by replacing the beam by a pair of closely-spaced twin beams passing on each side of the column, as shown in Fig 7.6.
Because of their continuity the main beams can now be designed plastically, for acombined moment on the two beams of 70 per cent or less of that for the simply-supported single beam, and at a combined mass m about equal to that of the single
beam. As regards deflection, the twin-beam system would tend to be more stiff than a single simply-supported beam of the same load capacity because of the continuity. The labour input for the twin beams would be more, but this alternative is useful when it is desired to reduce the depth of the floor (and thus the storey height), or on long spans where the twin rolled I-sections replace a more expensive single welded plate girder.
Elevation and floor plan of a typcial multi-story steel building:
As we have discussed the structure side of a multi-story steel building,now it's time that we discuss about the wall and roof cladding and interior and exterior wall finish and decoration options:
For the panel,we have our latest foam panel,fiber cement panel.Gypsum board will be a good option for the partition wall.For the ceiling,gypsum,PVC or integrated ceiling are both OK.All these panel options are open to further decorative finish option.
Our last concern would be the EIFS(EXTERNAL INSULATION FINISHING SYSTEM).Our suggestion would be the integrated insulated decoration panel because it has perfect thermal insulation performance with various pattern and color choices.

Process, fabrication and quality control standard on welding groove/beveling of steel structure
1. Purpose
To ensure the welding quality, meeting up the technical requirements of welded members and improve the standardization of our fabrication, we specially formulate this regulation.
2. Application scope
This manual apply for the design, fabricate and inspection of groove joint in terms of manual arc welding, CO2 arch welding, mixed gas arch welding, submerged arc welding and electroslag welding.
3. Design of welding groove
3.1 Key points on design welding groove:
In order to obtain quality groove, it is necessary to choose appropriate form of groove. The option of groove mainly depends on the thickness of base metal, welding method and craftsmanship requirements.The followings are the factors we need to consider:
- minimize the amount of filler metal
- easy for beveling
- in convenience for welding operation and slag removal
- After welding stress and deformation should be as small as possible
3.2 Groove direction:
We will consider the following factors for the groove direction:
A)in favor of welding process and removing slag and leave enough space for welding process on the fusion face
B)minimize the times of flip-flop during welding
C)way of fit-up in actual welding
3.3. Regulation on groove direction of members:
3.3.1 Butt welding on H section rafter/column (when CJP-complete joint penetration and single side fusion is required)
1) When there is no welding backing, the groove orientation on flange plates should be same and falls on the direction in favor of welding on web plats(same rules apply for the PJP situation). Please refer to illustration 1
2)When there is welding backing, we require the groove direction being outward for the flange plates(opposite direction for web plates) and still falls on the direction in favor of welding on web plates. Please refer to illustration 2
3)Butt-welding on construction site:we require all the grooves should be bevelled on the upper rafter/column when it comes to bolt connection for web plates(see illustration 3). For the scenario of welding on web plates, please refer to the illustration 4.
3.3.2 Box column(groove on itself).See illustration 5
4. Welding groove form
4.1. Mark on form and size of welding joint groove:
Example: Shielded metal arch welding, complete joint penetration, butt welding, I shape groove, welding backing and single side weld would be marked MC-BI-BS1
