ABSTRACT
The use of PEB not only reduces the weight of the structure because high tensile steel grades are used but also
ensures quality control of Design of Long Span Steel Structures and Hangars [With Eave Bracing Concept] the
structure. Span = 42 m Length = 76 m Bay Spacing = 7.6 m Clear Ht. = 10 m Wind Speed = 50 m/s Roof Slope = 1 in

straight column of section size Web = 1275 X 8 mm and Flange = 375 X 16 mm have been used.

Introduction
Structure with Span larger than 40 m can be regarded as long span structures and need to be carefully designed
keeping a balance of all the aspects like its weight, deflections (sway) and foundation forces. There are many
combinations of designing large spans, like conventional truss &RCC column combination, truss &steel columns,
Pre-engineered building (PEB) etc.
These days with the concept of PEB, the major advantage we get is the use of high strength steel plates (usually
Fe 350), lighter but high strength cold form purlins, and 550 Mpa Galvalume profiled sheets. The use of PEB not
only reduces the weight of the structure because high tensile steel grades are used but also ensures quality
control of Design of Long Span Steel Structures and Hangars [With Eave Bracing Concept] the structure. In the
following study, we have designed a hangar using this modern concept of PEB.

Design Philosphy
The design under discussion is a 42 meter clear span hangar for aircrafts maintenance. We have designed this
Hangar in 3D on STAAD software, for proper simulation of the load distribution uniformly in three co-ordinates
system i.e. X, Y and Z. All the Basic loads i.e. Dead, Live, Wind, Temperature, seismic etc have been taken into
consideration for designing of the frames. The structure has been designed under enclosed as well as open
condition for application of wind loads, because of the opening &closing of the large sized Hangar Door.
The basic philosophy of rigid frame design is by adopting 'FIXED' or 'PINNED' column base conditions. A fixed
column base is always a sturdy frame and helps in controlling allowable deflection (side sway) in the frames. Steel
designers always prefer fixed base to pinned base frames. On the contrary, for foundation designers the design of
foundations becomes a nightmare particularly in large span buildings. In fixed base design, the frame is rigid, but
transfers heavy moments to the foundations. On weak soil, designing foundations becomes tedious task. Likewise
for pinned support, the frame does not transfer any moment to the foundation and only vertical &horizontal
reactions affect the design of foundation. It looks simple but in case of large spans, controlling deflections of
frame in pinned base condition is a challenging task.
To control this deflection, the simplest way is to increase the Geometrical properties/sectional sizes of frame, but
it is not advisable as it adds to the tonnage of the whole building, adding not only to the seismic forces but also
