1. ISA 100 100 10 mm (Cross sectional area = 1908) serves as tensile member. This angle is welded to a gusset plate along A and B appropriately as shown. Assuming the yield strength of the steel to be 260 N/ the tensile strength of this member can be taken to be approximately,

allowable stresses in rivet N/mm2 and fbr=250 N/mm2.

are

fs=90.0

A) Maximum tensile stress in the tie in N/mm2 is (a) 93.6 (b) 87.5 (c) 77.2 (d) 66.0 B) Minimum number of rivets required at each end is (a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 5 5. A strut in a steel truss is composed of two equal angles ISA 150 mm x 150 mm of thickness 100 mm connected back-to-back to the same side of a gusset plate. The cross sectional area of each angle is 2921 mm2 andmoment of inertia (Ixx = Iyy) is 6335000 mm4. The distance of the centroid of the angle from its surface (Cx =Cy) is 40.8 mm. The minimum radius of gyration of the strut is (a) 93.2 mm (b) 62.7 mm (c) 46.6 mm (d) 29.8 mm Two equal angles ISA 100 mm x 100 mm of thickness 10 mm are placed back-to-back and connected to the 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 tackriveted, the net effective area of this pair of angles is (a) 3650 mm2 (b) 3450 mm2 2 (c) 3076 mm (d) 2899 mm2

(A) 500 kN (C) 225 kN

(B) 300 kN (D) 375 kN

In the design of lacing system for a built-up steel column, the maximum allowable slenderness ratio of a lacing bar is (a) 120 (b) 145 (c) 180 (d) 250 Which of the following elements of a pitched roof industrial steel building primarily resists lateral load parallel to the ridge? (a) bracings (b) purlins (c) truss (d) columns A truss tie consisting of 2 ISA 75 x 75 x 8 mm carries a pull of 150 kN. At ends the two angles are connected, one each on either side of a 10mm thick gusset plate, by 18 mm diameter rivets arranged in one row. The
