ESE CE Design of Steel Structures : National Champion Test for ESE & GATE CE Exams

Question 1

The capacity of a single ISA

mm as tension member connected by one leg only using 6 rivets of 20 mm diameter is

Question 2

Assertion (A): In the case of mild steel, the tensile strength (expressed as per unit area) of smaller diameter bars are more than that of larger diameter bars.
Reason (R): In the case of smaller diameter mild steel bars, the ratio of outer hard core to total area (outer hard core + inner soft core) is more.

Question 3

Consider the following statements:
1) When wind load is the primary load, no increase in the allowable stresses is provided for in members or fasteners.
2) Due to wind load acting along with dead and live loads, increase in allowable stress upto 33.33% can be provided for.
3) Due to wind load acting along with dead load, increase in allowable stress of 25% in foundation bolts can be provided for.
Which of these statements is/are correct?

Question 4

A bolt designated as Hex bolt M

will have

Question 5

The effective length of the fillet weld is

Question 6

The maximum longitudinal pitch in bolted joints, subjected to tensile forces, wherein t = thickness of the plate and D = diameter of bolt, is

Question 7

For two plates of equal thickness, full strength of square-edged fillet weld can be ensured if its maximum size is limited to

Question 8

When the effect of wind or earthquake load is taken into account in the design of a riveted connection, the permissible stresses in rivets may be exceeded by

Question 9

The effective throat thickness of a fillet weld depends upon

Question 10

Consider the following statements about provision of sag rods:
1) Sag rods reduce span length of purlin in the weak direction.
2) Sag rods are installed in the plane of the roof.
3) Ridge purlin is subject to vertical components of sag rods on either side of slope.
Which of these statements are correct?

Question 11

The outstand of the flange of built-up beams from the line of connection should not extend beyond

Question 12

Consider the following statements:
Bearing stiffeners, in plate girders, are
1) provided at supports.
2) provided under concentrated loads.
3) provided alternately on the web.
Which of these statements is/are correct?

Question 13

Purlins are provided, in industrial buildings, over roof trusses to carry dead loads, live loads and wind loads. As per IS code, what are they assumed to be?

Question 14

Assertion (A): At positions of curtailment of flange plates in a built-up structure, web stiffeners are also necessarily to be provided.
Reason (R): This improves the architectural beauty of the structure.

Question 15

Lacing of compound steel columns

Question 16

Localized bearing stress caused by the transmission of compression from the wide flange to the narrow web causes a failure called

Question 17

The slenderness ratio (as per IS : 800) of a member, carrying compressive loads arising from combined dead loads and imposed loads, should not exceed

Question 18

The effective length of a battened strut of actual length L, effectively held in position at both ends but not restrained in direction, is taken as

Question 19

Top chord of a truss is continuous over joints l apart. Effective lengths of the member in the plane perpendicular to the truss is

Question 20

A steel column pinned at both ends has a buckling load of 200 kN. If the column is restrained against lateral movement at its mid-height, its buckling load will be
