Main Frame

Company brochure

The primary backbone of Strucxel’s PEBs is the rigid steel frames, serving as the main structural elements. These frames consist of tapered columns and rafters, which are fabricated into built-up members using cutting-edge technology. The fabrication process involves welding flanges to the web of the tapered sections, with splice plates welded to the ends for easy assembly during erection.

COLUMNS AND RAFTERS

Columns and rafters play a pivotal role in Pre-Engineered Buildings, forming the essential primary structure. These elements bear the brunt of the building’s load, providing the framework onto which all other components are affixed. Advanced software like STAAD PRO and Tekla are employed in the design process, taking into consideration various load factors such as live load, dead load, wind load, and collateral load. Following the completion of designs, meticulous engineering and shop drawings are prepared, guiding the manufacturing process on the shop floor.

Crane Beams

Crane beams serve as essential support structures for various types of cranes, facilitating smooth and unhindered movement along the length of the building. These beams are typically anchored on the columns of the building, providing stability and support for crane operations.

Rigid Frame 01

Rigid Frame structures consist of two columns and two sloped beams (rafters) supporting the roof. This setup provides a stable frame for sheeting and is ideal for large, open spaces requiring flexibility, with possible clear spans up to 120 meters.

Continuous Beam 02

Continuous Beam structures enhance the rigid frame by adding intermediate support columns, allowing for wider and more economical building designs. This setup effectively distributes loads, improving overall strength and stability.

Unibeam 03

Unibeam frames feature a single gable clear span with straight hot-rolled columns and built-up rafters, designed per AISC type-II standards. They are economical for clear spans up to 20 meters, offering straight sidewalls and ceiling lines.

Side Slope Beam 04

Lean-To structures have a column and a sloping rafter, supported by an adjacent building on one end and a column on the other. This design provides open, unobstructed interior spaces and can span up to 30 meters, making it versatile and economical for additional space.

Deck Frame 01

Deck Frame structures are used in multi-storey buildings, where deck sheets support a concrete layer, allowing for various flooring types. Ideal for mezzanine floors and membrane roofs, they enhance construction speed and economy, offering the lowest cost per square meter and wide interior column spacing.
