Find the shape factor of the T-section as shown

If the statically indeterminate beam, as shown, carries a load P at D and a load P at C, What is the value '’ to make the limit (collapse) value of P a maximum?

A fixed end beam is subjected to a load W at span from the right support as shown in figure. The collapse load of the beam is

Two 150 mm × 20 mm plates are welded to form a T-Section which is used as a beam. If the beam is supporting a maximum shear force of 10 kN. obtain or find The force to be resisted (in kN) by each weld.

For the fillet weld of size ‘S’ shown in the adjoining figure. the effective throat thickness is-

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct regarding bolted connections:

1) Maximum pitch shall not exceed 16t or 200 mm in case of compression members.

2) The gauge length should not exceed 10 + 4 t or 200 mm whichever is less.

3) Maximum edge distance to nearest line of bolts from edge of any unstiffened part should not exceed 12 t e.

4) Maximum pitch of taking bolts should not exceed 1000 mm in case of tension members.

(t = thickness of thinner outer plate, )

A steel plate subjected to a factored tensile force of 600kN is connected to another plate by top connection using 5 bolts in a row. The strength of each both in shear is 180kN. What would be the possible value of bearing strength (P) of each bolt
