Question 1

A structural member carrying a pull of 700 kN is connected to a gusset plate using rivets of 20 mm diameter. If the pull required for shearing the rivets, to crush the rivets and to tear the plate per pitch length are 60 kN, 35 kN and 70 kN respectively, then the number of rivets required is

Question 2

A mild steel tube of mean diameter 20 mm and thickness 2 mm is used as an axially loaded tension member. If what is the maximum load that the member can carry?

Question 3

Diagonal member of a roof truss of length L has been designed with tube of 100 mm mean diameter and 3 mm thick. The force in the member is tensile due to dead and live loads, and compressive due to occasional winds. What is the maximum permissible effective length of the member?

Question 4

A load P is applied at the middle of a simply supported beam of span L. If the beam is made of ductile material, and is the plastic moment, what is the ultimate value of P?

Question 5

A column bearing truss in an open industrial shed is 6 m height between its own base and the bottom of the truss. What is the effective height of the column taken for calculation of compressive strength?

Question 6

An ISMB 500 is used as a beam in a multistory construction. From the viewpoint of structural design, it can be considered to be ‘laterally restrained’ when

Question 7

A tie bar 100 mm × 16 mm thick is to be welded to another plate as shown in figure using 8 mm fillet welds. If the tensile stress in plates is 150 N/mm2 and shear stress in weld is 110.0 N/mm2, the minimum overlap required will be

Question 8

A propped cantilever of span L is subjected to a concentrated load at midspan. If is the plastic moment capacity of the beam, the value of collapse load will be

Question 9

Two equal angles, each being ISA of thickness 10 mm, are placed back-to back and connected to either side of a gusset plate through a single row of 16 mm diameter rivets in double shear. The effective areas of the connected and unconnected legs of each of these angles are 775 mm2 and 950 mm2 respectively. If these angles are not tack-riveted, the net effective area of this pair of angles is

Question 10

For a welded plate girder with vertical stiffeners, what is the maximum depth of web provisionable in design when the thickness of the web plate is 5 mm?
