Note : Answer any ONE question from Part A and any THREE questions from Part B.

Use of IS:800-2007 code, Steel Tables and Extracts from code is permitted.

Assume any missing data suitably if necessary'

PART A

1. Design a built-up column with four angles. The coiumn is -13 ^m- long and
supp-orts
- a factored axial compressive load of 1100 kN. The ends of the column
ur" h"ld i.t position and restrained against rotation. Design a suitable
connecting system. Use steel of grade Fe410. Draw the elevation and plan of
(28)
the column '., ,
2. A column section ISHB 350 @ 661.2 N/m carries a factored axial compressive
load of 1800 kN and factored bending moment of 120 kNm, Design the base
plate and its connections.
If the factored bending moment is increased to 200 kNm redesign the base and
connections. Assume concrete pedestal of M20 grade. Draw the sectional
(28)
elevation and pian.

PART B

3. (a) A beam of uniform cross section and span 2L is subjected to equal

concentrated.load.s at a distance a, from each end of the beam' The beam
is propped, at the centre. show that the collapse load is equal to
L*o MP. (7)
{L - a,)a
(b) Find the shape factor for hollow tube section of external diameter 'D'
and internal diameter' d'. (7)

Turn Over
4. (a) Explain different theorems of plastic analysis. (5)

(b) Find out the value of plastic modulus for a square of.side r, bent about a
diagonal. (9)

5. Design a tension member 3.4 m between centre to centre of intersections using

double angle section and caruying a factored pull of 200 kN. The member is
" subjected to reversal ofstresses (14)

6. Design a lug angle to be provided with tie member subjectgd to a load of

350 kN. The length of the member is 3.65 m. (14)

7. Design a steel beam section for supporting root of a big hall for the following
data and apply the usual checks. Assume steel of grade Fe410.
Clear span = 6.5 m
End bearings = 150 mm
C/C spacing of beams = 3 m
Imposed load on the beam = 10 kN/m2
Dead load (inclusive of self'weight) = 6 kN/m2
Restriction of beam d.epth = 350 mm
The compression flange of the beam is laterally supported throughout. (14)
