INTRODUCTION
Pre-Engineered Advantages
Pre-Engineered Buildings offer significant advantages over
Conventional Structural Steel Buildings
The term “Pre-Engineered Buildings” (P.E.B.) is not well known to the Engineering Groups who traditionally design their
buildings with conventional structural steel using standard hot rolled sections from product manufacturers. The attached
comparison is intended to introduce and inform Engineering Design Groups of the P.E.B. concept, its high versatility and
practicality, and its disadvantages to Designers and Contractors.
The P.E.B concept is widely used in the United States, as well as in many of the industrialized countries. It consists of a
complete steel-framed building system, with components pre-designed to fit together in a vast variety of combinations
to meet the unique requirements of specific end uses. Sub-Systems include anchor bolts, structural framing, insulation,
roof and wall cladding, mezzanines or floor including steel floor decking, windows, doors, ventilation systems, canopies,
overhangs and fascias.
P.E.B can be used for permanent installations from around 400 square feet (36 square meters) upwards, for one story
and two story construction.
Rigid Building Systems, located in Houston, Texas, U.S.A. produces 45 million dollars in shipments annually, not only
in American market but also in the global market.
Several major Contractors and Designers who previously used conventional design exclusively adopted the P.E.B.
formula and the savings have proven to be extremely high.
We design and we manufacture.
Please contact us for further technical discussions. We can make your job easier, and you can make your company
more competitive.
The attached detailed comparison between Conventional Structural Steel and Pre-Engineered Building Systems will
give you a precise idea of the advantages of P.E.B.

INTRODUCTION
Building Maintenance Guide

Building Exterior
We recommend that you follow our simple maintenance schedule. By following our recommendations you will be assured of the maximum trouble-free
lifespan of your building.Periodic maintenance of the exterior will depend on the location of your building.The following table gives recommended
periods but can be varied to suit particular environments based on local or practical experience.
Preventive maintenance should commence immediately after a project is erected, modified or repaired.
1. Check for any debris that may have been left on top of panel or trim.
Examples of this are ferrous items such as screws, pop rivets, nails, drill sward, sheet metal off-cuts, tin cans, etc. Large
or heavy items should be removed by hand to avoid damaging the paint or zinc layer on the panel. The remaining smaller
items may be swept off with a soft nylon brush. Please note this check should be made after any trade has worked on
the building, e.g., electricians, plumbers, air conditioning technicians, and steel erectors.
2. Check for sand or dirt build up. These retain salt and moisture and will rapidly breakdown the paint and zinc layers
resulting in corrosion of the base metal.
3. The most vulnerable areas of the building are:
 Gutters.
 Roof Sheets.
 Sheltered Areas.
 Top portion of walls sheltered by roof overhangs or gutters.
Sand and dirt should be washed off with clean desalinated water and a soft nylon brush. Clean from top to bottom
and give a final rinse with desalinated water when completed. Ensure no water is trapped anywhere.
4. If the building is in an area of industrial pollution or close to a marine environment then water alone may not be enough.
Salts and other deposits build up at the formed corners of panels and quickly breakdown the paint and zinc layers and
finally corrode the base metal. As such deposits build up, the hardness of the layer increases making removal more
difficult. In this case, the period between maintenance operations should be shortened and a mild detergent should be
added to the initial washing water.
The Following is a Recommended Solution:
 1/3 cup detergent
 2/3 cup tri-sodium phosphate (e.g., Soilex).
 1 quart sodium hypo chlorite - 5% solution (e.g., Clorox).
 3 quarts water
Revision: 1
April 2011
INTRODUCTION
Wash down the panel with the above solution and a soft nylon brush. A final rinse of clean desalinated water should
follow.
Caulking compounds, oil, grease, tar wax, or similar substances can be removed with mineral spirits. Follow this
by cleaning with the detergent solution and clean desalinated water rinse.
CAUTION:
Avoid solvent and abrasive type cleaners as they can do more harm than good by wearing
both the paint and zinc layers.
5. Check the base of wall panels to ensure the ground level is at least 150 mm below the bottom of the panel. If wind
blown-sand has built up at the base of the wall, It should be removed. If plants/shrubs etc., are around the building,
make sure they are not touching the wall panel, particularly Thom-type bushes.
6. Check all equipment which is located through or adjacent to any panel (Roof or Wall). Ensure there is no moisture
build up on or near the panel. If there is, then corrosion is inevitable. If this condition exists, then make modifica-
tions to avoid it.
The Following situations are examples of conditions to be avoided:

♦ Water run-off from water services or air conditioners.
♦ Copper pipes fastened directly to the steel panel.
♦ Open water storage tanks or ponds adjacent to the panel.
♦ Steam outlets adjacent to the panels
♦ Acid storage areas adjacent to the panels.
7. Standard gutters and Valley gutters.

♦ Regular checks should be made and all rubbish and sand should be removed.
♦ Flush the waters with gutters.
♦ Check that downspouts are clear.
♦ Check that downspouts have adequate drainage away from the building.
8. If minor damage occurs to the sheeting or trims, and paint touch-up is required, then the following
procedure should be followed:
♦ Abrade the affected area.
♦ Clean down with a solvent.
♦ If based metal exposed, apply one coat of a zinc chromate primer. If base metal is not exposed,
then the primer is not required.
♦ Apply one coat of available touch-up paint.
SAFETY
Roofs
Extreme caution should be exercised when working on roofs.
 Use only ladders which are long enough to reach one meter above the step off point.
 Always secure the ladder to the building and make sure it is on a firm base.
 Do not step on skylight panels.
 When walking on the roof, step on the low corrugations, not on the high corrugations.
Stepping on the high corrugations can damage the sheets.Walk along the screw line
where possible.

Accessories
Walk Doors
 Occasionally lubricate the hinges and lockset.
 Removed any dirt or grit from the threshold.
 Make sure the door is not allowed to swing back against the wall, this can sprain the hinges,
and damage the panel.

ROOF AND SIDEWALL BRACING:
RBS provides cable (standard) or rod (optional) ‘X’ bracing in the roof to transfer the longitudinal forces created by wind
against endwall , seismic or crane thrusts to the eave of the building. The sidewall bracing systems then transfers these
forces to the foundation.

SIDEWALL BRACING
DIAPHRAGM ACTION
For buildings with flush girts and widths less than 70’-0”,
RBS will use the diaphragm resistance afforded by the
sidewall panels, if adequate, to transfer the the forces to
the foundations.
DIAPHRAGM ACTION
(STANDARD)
CABLE OR ROD ‘X’ BRACING

For building with by-frame sidewall girts, RBS provides ‘X’
bracing as a standard method for transferring longitudinal
forces to the foundations.
CABLE (STANDARD) OR
ROD (OPTIONAL) ‘X’ BRACING
FIXED BASE OR WIND COLUMN

When sidewall openings do not allow the use of ‘X’ bracing
in the sidewall, fixed base or wind column located at the
corners of the building or at the interior main frames may be
used. Fixed base or wind columns will induce a moment to
the foundations, thus requiring a special foundation design.
(OPTIONAL)
PORTAL OR WIND BENT FRAME

When ‘X’ bracing cannot be used and the eave height is
large, a portal or wind bent frame can be used to transfer
longitudinal forces to the foundations. Portal frame or wind
bent do not induce a moment to the foundation.

DESIGN DATA
ENDWALL BRACING
DIAPHRAGM ACTION
Our standard bearing frame endwall utilizes the diaphragm
resistance of the endwall panels to transmit lateral wind or
seismic forces to the foundation. If this diaphragm action
is inadequate to resist these forces, one of the following
methods is available to satisfy the bracing requirements.
DIAPHRAGM ACTION
(STANDARD)
CABLE OR ROD ‘X’ BRACING

When diaphragm action of the panels is not allowed or
inadequate, the first alternative is to provide cable or rod
bracing between endwall columns. In this case, flush girts
will require field slotting to accomodate the ‘X’ bracing.
CABLE (STANDARD) OR
ROD (OPTIONAL) ‘X’ BRACING

When sidewall openings do not allow the use of ‘X’ bracing
in the sidewall, fixed base or wind column located at the
corners of the building or at the interiormain frames may be
used. Fixed base or wind columns will induce a moment to
the foundations, thus requiring a special foundation design.

(OPTIONAL)
BRACE TO INTERIOR MAIN FRAME

Another method of bracing an open bearing frame endwall
is to provide bracing in the roof of the endbay. In this case,
the lateral forces on the endwall are transfered to the first
interior main frame. The main frame is then designed to
resist the additional lateral force.
BRACE TO INTERIOR MAIN FRAME

(OPTIONAL)
MAIN FRAME END

A main end frame may be provided in lieu of bearing end
frame if one of the above methods cannot be utilized.

4.1 BUILDING FRAME TYPES
RIGID FRAME (RF)
The clear, unobstructed working space that the Rigid Frame (RF) system
provides makes it ideal for many commercial and recreational applications. The
wide, column-free environment permits the complete utilization of the interior
floor space. Recreational rooms, aircraft hangars, and warehouse are often
designed as rigid frame systems due to the interference or inconvenience of
interior columns.
Typical Dimensions:
 Bay Spacings: 20 ft. - 30 ft.
 Eave Heights: 10 ft. - 25 ft.
 Spans: 20 ft. - 150 ft.
Gabled or Single Sloped
Revision: 2
April 2011
STRAIGHT COLUMN (SC)
Straight Column (SC) systems are utilized when a clear interior space up to seventy
feet wide is needed. The column-free interior allows the total amount of floor space to
be put to use. This design is often in small offices or other commercial applications.
Typical Dimensions:
 Spans: 20 ft. - 70 ft.
Gabled or Single Sloped
Revision: 2
April 2011
SINGLE SLOPE RIGID FRAME (SSRF)
Single Slope Rigid Frame (SSRF) system. This frame type is great for retail or
commercial applications. The peak on this building is on one side.
Typical Dimensions:
 Spans: 20 ft. - 150 ft.
 Single Sloped
Revision: 2
April 2011
BEAM-AND-COLUMN (BC)
The Beam-and-Column (BC) system is ideal in situations when a vast area of

floor space is necessary. The flexibility of the Beam and Column design allows it
to be utilized for any industrial or warehouse purpose.
Typical Dimensions:
 Bay Spacings: 20 ft. - 30 ft.
 Eave Heights: 10 ft. - 25 ft.
 Spans: 80 ft. - 300 ft.
 Modules: 40 ft., 50 ft. 60 ft., 75 ft.
 Gabled or Single Sloped
Revision: 2
April 2011
LEAN-TO FRAME (LT)
Selecting a Lean-To (LT) system is a quick and economical way to expand to a building.
More space can be added to the building without interrupting the internal operations.
This easy method of expansion makes the Lean-To system ideal for additional storage
and office buildings.
Typical Dimensions:
 Spans: 20 ft. - 50 ft.

jambs. Be sure that head is tight to jambs so that the proper door opening is obtained.
2. Install door leaf in frame, check for 1/8" clearance at head and 3/32" clearance at stricker jamb.
3. Tilt up the entire assembly and anchor jamb to floor. Plumb hinge hinge jamb and assembly. Field cut girts if required.
4. Anchor head and striker jamb to building structure, floor and entire frame to panel skins (field cut). Install optional
threshold anchor if desired. Install jamb extensions (if req'd).
5. Install lockset. Install (optional) weatherstrip, head member first. Adjust so that vinyl just contacts door when in the
closed position. Do not force vinyl against door, as this will interfere with the latching and will not improve the latching and
the weather seal.
