PEB frame type
Multi-span frame with many interior columns
Several interior column lines under one gable roof, for very wide warehouses, distribution centres and factories.
Overview
What is a multi-span frame with many interior columns?
A gable frame split into several spans by a grid of interior columns. Short rafter spans keep each member light, so very wide buildings can be covered economically.
The column grid becomes part of the building plan: it is laid out with your racking, docks and production lines from the first concept.
Uses
When this frame fits
Distribution centres
Very wide buildings where columns sit inside racking blocks.
Large factories
Plants planned on a regular column grid.
Agricultural and bulk stores
Wide sheds where interior columns do not disturb the use.
Lowest steel weight
When columns are acceptable, many spans usually need the least steel per m².

Expansion joints
Very long or wide buildings may need movement joints in the frame and roof.

FAQ
Questions Thai clients ask us
Why not use several gable roofs instead?
A single gable avoids valley gutters inside the building. A multi-gable frame keeps the roof lower; we can show both.
Can columns be left out in some bays?
Yes, with transfer beams or deeper rafters in that area. Tell us where you need a wider opening.
Not sure which frame suits your building?
Send us your building size and use. Our engineers propose the frame type, steel weight and a CIF/DDP price for your site in Thailand.
