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 3: Planning, Feasibility Studies, and Preliminary Design
3-Pre-Engineered-Building-PEB-Warehouse-Construction-Planning-Feasibility-and-Preliminary-Design
• Feasibility Analysis: Economic viability, technical feasibility, and market analysis.
• Regulatory Requirements: Overview of local building codes, zoning laws, and permitting processes.
• Preliminary Design Concepts: Defining the project scope, space planning, and layout development.
• Risk Assessment: Identifying potential risks and developing mitigation strategies.

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).
