Any building structure used by the industry to store raw materials or for manufacturing the products like machine/s is known as an industrial building. Industrial buildings may be categorized as Normal type industrial buildings and Special type industrial buildings. Normal types of industrial buildings are shed type buildings with simple roof structures on open frames. These buildings are used for workshop, warehouses etc. These building require large and clear areas un-obstructed by the columns. The large floor area provides sufficient flexibility and facilitates the later changes in the production layout without major building alterations. The industrial buildings are constructed with adequate headroom for the use of an overhead traveling crane. Special types of industrial buildings are steel mill buildings used for manufacture of heavy machines, production of power etc. The function of the industrial building dictates the degree of sophistication.
