increasing usage of steel in construction, it is poised to dominate the industry in the future. Tall buildings constructed with steel have proven to be resilient against, showcasing the material's strength and durability. Steel remains a preferred choice for architects and engineers. Steel will play in shaping the future of the construction industry and building projects As the construction industry continues to evolve, structural steel remains a reliable and durable material for building tall structures. Implementing corrosion prevention measures is crucial to ensure the longevity and integrity of steel buildings. Steel's dominance in the construction industry is set to grow, offering endless possibilities for innovative and sustainable building design. Structural steel offers various advantages, including durability and flexibility. One of the main reasons why structural steel is preferred in building construction is its efficiency. Buildings composed of steel require various structural frames that are made from precise cross sections. In addition, constructing with steel takes much less time compared to traditional building materials, making it for many construction projects. Variety of Structural steel comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different construction needs. Some of the common shapes include L-beams, Zshapes, HSS shapes, and L-angles). These shapes are designed for mechanical properties and chemical composition, ensuring the life of the building. Its durability and strength, making it a reliable choice for building construction. Steel structures are able to withstand extreme weather conditions, earthquakes, and other external forces, providing long-lasting support for the building.

Building (PEB) in the design steel of structures has facilitated in enhancing design. Application of PEB in place of Conventional Steel Building (CSB) resulted in many advantages, including economy and simple fabrication. Long Span, column free structures are the greatest crucial requirements in any type of industrial structures and Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) satisfies these requirement along with reduced time and cost in comparison with conventional structures. The PEB methodology is advantageous not just because of its high-quality pre-design and prefabrication, but also due to its lightweight nature and cost-effective construction. This study includes analysis and design of industrial structure in accordance with the Indian standard. The economy of structure is conferred in terms of its weight comparison, between Indian code. The proposed study is to analyze frames of industrial shed for different loadings by using PEB sections. Comparison between Conventional and PEB structures is also performed. Analysis of industrial shed is done for various Loading conditions by Conventional Steel Building & by PEB structure. The B.M., Shear Forces and Stresses have been compared for Conventional Steel Building and PEB structures and required section are designed.

Key Words: Conventional steel Buildings, Pre Engineered Steel Buildings, Steel Take-off, Staad Pro V8i, CSB, PEB etc.

1.INTRODUCTION This Steel is widely recognized for its superior structural integrity and strength in the field of construction. Its durability and robustness outperform other materials such as wood or concrete. In fact, steel is given the top priority for construction due to its several advantages. When building steel structures, different frames such as clear span, modular, and single slope are commonly used. The ease and efficiency of constructing with steel have made it the most sought-after method in modern building practices. Structural steel is clearly the favored option for building projects because of the numerous advantages it offers. Structural steel is a crucial component in the construction industry, known for its strength and durability. Despite the challenges of corrosion it is proven to be a favourable material for tall

1.1 Conventional Steel Structure Conventional steel structures involve custom design and onsite fabrication using standard steel components such as Ibeams, channels, and plates. These structures are highly versatile and can be adapted to a wide range of architectural designs and load requirements. However, they often require significant labour and material costs due to the complexity and customization involved.

1.2 Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEBs) PEBs are factory-fabricated buildings designed using standardized components. The primary structure consists of
