An
industrial warehouse is a structure which provides a proper environment to
store goods such as raw materials, manufactured products and heavy machineries.
In India, due to the rapid growth of industrialization, need for a well-planned
and economical industrial warehouse has been increased. From the critical
review of literature, the objective of this study is decided as to plan and
analyse a two-storey industrial warehouse with conventional angular and tubular
sections and pre-engineered sections. The plan and elevation of an industrial
warehouse were drafted using AUTOCAD software. Analysis and design of an
industrial warehouse was carried out using STAAD-Pro software according to
Indian standards. From the analysis and design, the amount of steel required
and maximum axial force, shear force, relative displacement and bending moment
were obtained for the proposed warehouse with conventional angular and tubular
sections and pre-engineered sections. From the results, it is concluded that
the industrial warehouse with pre-engineered sections is found to be the most
economical when compared to an industrial warehouse with conventional angular, tubular
sections based on the total steel take-off evolved. From the comparative study,
it is also observed that the forces, moments and displacements developed in
critical elements of an industrial warehouse are found to be very less with
pre-engineered sections compared to conventional angular and tubular sections.
