To demonstrate the ability to apply structural engineering principles and PEB design standards in the development of cost-effective, safe, and efficient pre-engineered buildings.
To develop competencies in interpreting architectural and structural requirements into practical PEB layouts, including framing, load distribution, and material selection.
To enhance proficiency in using industry-standard design software for modeling, stress analysis, and detailing of steel components in PEBs.
To cultivate skills in preparing detailed design documentation, including drawings, bill of materials, and specifications that comply with relevant building codes and client requirements.
To foster problem-solving and critical thinking by addressing real-world constraints such as site conditions, load considerations (wind, snow, seismic), and budgeting.
To improve professional communication through preparing technical reports and presenting design recommendations to stakeholders, ensuring clarity and feasibility of the proposed solutions.
Review project briefs and client requirements to understand the functional and structural needs of a medium-scale industrial warehouse to be constructed using PEB technology.
Conduct site analysis and identify environmental and regulatory factors impacting the design, such as local load criteria, permissible materials, and erection constraints.
Develop conceptual and detailed structural designs of the PEB, including mainframe layout, purlins, girts, bracing systems, and foundation interface, adhering to relevant codes and PEB best practices.
Utilize structural design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Staad Pro, Tekla Structures) to model the building and perform load analysis, verifying the stability and strength of components.
Prepare a comprehensive set of technical drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, and connection details, accompanied by a bill of materials and cost estimation.
Identify potential challenges such as transportation logistics, fabrication tolerances, and site installation issues, proposing mitigation strategies.
Compile a formal design report summarizing assumptions, calculations, design decisions, and compliance with safety standards.
Present the design outcomes and justifications to a panel simulating client or management review, incorporating feedback for final refinement.
