Study Notes
Pre-Engineered Building Concepts
- Pre-Engineered Building (PEB): A building designed and manufactured in a factory, then transported to the construction site for assembly.
- Design Flexibility: PEBs offer a range of design options to meet diverse requirements, catering to various structural and aesthetic needs.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Offers lower construction costs due to pre-fabrication and reduced foundation loads.
- Faster Construction: Faster build times as pre-fabricated components arrive on site ready for assembly.
- Durability: Constructed with durable, high-strength materials and components for superior performance.
- Versatility: PEBs can be used for various functions – industrial, commercial, and institutional purposes.
- Sustainability: Contributes to sustainability through reduced waste and more efficient use of materials.
Frame Types & Construction
- Primary Frames: Typically 2D and analyzed using two-dimensional methods.
- Secondary Parts: Cold-formed Z- and C-shaped members provide support and fasten the outer cladding.
- Cladding Materials: Roll-formed steel, wood, fabric, precast concrete, masonry, or glass.
- Frame Options: Include trusses, mill sections, or castellated beams.

Philippine Arena
-
Design Inspiration:
- Narra Tree: The arena’s form resembles the tree's canopy, symbolizing strength, resilience, and longevity.
- Banyan Tree: Banyan tree roots inspired the structural system, representing connectivity and growth.
- Nipa Hut: The A-frame roof structure replicates the traditional thatched roof structure, allowing for drainage and ventilation.
-
Construction Materials:
- Steel Framework: A pre-engineered steel framework forms the primary structural system, enabling large spans and a column-free interior.
- Glass Curtain Wall: Energy-efficient glass panels allow natural light and a modern aesthetic.
- Concrete Precast Elements: Used for seating tiers and structural components.
Conclusion
