In pre-engineered building design, assumptions play a critical role in ensuring that structural analysis and design are both accurate and reliable. The Design Assumptions section in MkaPEB highlights the key engineering considerations, methodologies, and simplifications applied by the software when analyzing and designing single-storey steel structures.

MkaPEB goes beyond standard calculation routines by incorporating modern design practices, code-based checks, and advanced structural modeling techniques. This section outlines how the software treats:

Cold-formed members such as purlins and girts, including their stability and local buckling behavior.

Critical connection zones, such as overlaps, bracing points, and expansion gaps.

Global and local stability phenomena in beams, columns, and trusses, including lateral-torsional and flexural-torsional buckling.

Specialized structural systems, including tension-only bracing and their permitted applications under seismic and wind loading conditions.

Variations in section geometry, load eccentricity, and member slenderness that affect ultimate and serviceability limits.

By transparently presenting these assumptions, MkaPEB allows engineers to understand how the software interprets structural behavior, ensuring confidence in both the analysis results and the resulting designs. Users can rely on MkaPEB to automatically account for relevant factors while maintaining flexibility to adjust parameters based on project-specific requirements.

This section provides a comprehensive overview of MkaPEB’s engineering logic, giving insight into the careful considerations that make it one of the most efficient and reliable tools for single-storey steel building design worldwide.
