Description

Module 1: Introduction to PEB Warehouse Construction & Course Overview

1-Pre-Engineered-Building-PEB-Warehouse-Construction

• Understand the evolution and significance of Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) in modern construction.

• Recognize the unique advantages and challenges associated with PEB warehouse projects.

• Get familiar with the course structure, expectations, and outcomes.

Module 2: Fundamentals of Site Engineering for Warehouse Construction

2-Fundamentals-of-Site-Engineering-for-PEB-Warehouse-Construction

• Site Selection: Factors such as topography, environmental impact, accessibility, and proximity to supply routes.

• Geotechnical Investigations: Soil sampling, laboratory testing, and interpreting soil reports.

• Surveying Techniques: Use of modern technology like GPS, GIS, and drone-based surveys versus traditional methods.

• Site Layout Planning: Concepts of zoning, access roads, and placement of utilities.

Module 4: PEB Design Principles & Structural Engineering Fundamentals

4-Pre-Engineered-Building-PEB-Warehouse-Design-Principles-and-Structural-Engineering-Fundamentals

• Design Criteria for Warehouses: Functional requirements, future expansion, and flexibility.

• Structural Elements: Columns, beams, trusses, purlins, and roof systems.

• Load Considerations: Dead loads, live loads, wind, seismic, and snow loads.

• Design Codes and Standards: AISC, Eurocode, and other relevant standards.

• Create a conceptual design sketch for a PEB warehouse addressing key design criteria.

• Analyze a sample design calculation for one structural element (e.g., a column or truss).
