Or Explain the design procedure of channel section purlin and angle section purlin. - Caleulate the strength of a. 20mm diameter bolt of grade 4.6 for the following connections. The main plates to be jointed are 12 mm thick. @ ~~ Lap joint Gi) Single cover butt joint; the cover plate being 10 mm thick Gii) Double cover butt joint; each: of the cover plate being 8 mm thick. Assume steel of grade Fe 410, the threads of the bolts fall in the shear planes. - Or ‘A120 mm diameter and 6mm thick pipe is fillet welded to a 14 mm plate. 4s subjected to a vertical factored load of 4.5 KN at 1.0 m fom the welded end and a factored twisting ‘of hres assuming shop welding and steel of grade The Floors and Roof of a five storey braced (Non sway) framied building with a storey height of 4.2 m support uniformly distributed service live and dead (including self weight) loads of 4.0 and 6.0 kN/m®, respectively. Determine the effective length for the column i ~j when the sections of beams framing into IS. HB 450 @ 87.2 kg/m columns in X — and Y— directions are ISWB 550 @ 112.5 Kg/m and ISLB 600 @ 75.0 Kg/m, respectively. The plan and elevation of portion containing column i~j are shown in fig 1. The rolled steel beam sections are of grade Fe 410.www.universityquestions.i (&) The plan and elevation of a three-storey school building is shown in fig. 2. The building is located at Kolkata (Zone III). The type of soil encountered is medium stiff and it is proposed to design the building with special moment resisting frames. The intensity of dead load is 10 kN/m? and the floors are to cater imposed load of 3 kN/m?. Determine the lateral loads on the various floor levels of the structure by static analysis. Elevation Fig. 2 14. (a) Find out the fully plastic moment in the portal frame shown in Fig.’ 3. ‘The frame has a uniform cross section throughout. 40KN Fig. 3 Or (6) A propped cantilever ABCD is loaded as shown in fig. 4. Find the collapse oad, if the beam is of uniform cross section. ; Fig. 4 ; : www.universityquestions.in (44045www.universityquestions.in 15. (a) Design a stanchion 3.5 m long in a building, subjected to a factored load of 550 KN. Both the ends of the stanchion are effectively restrained in direction and position. Use steel of grade Fe 410. Or (b) A simply supported steel joist with a 4.0 m effective span carries a uniformly distributed load of 50 kN over its span inclusive of its self weight. The beam is supported. laterally throughout. Design the beam using working stress design method. Steel is of grade Fe 410. www.universityquestions.in 4 44045
