STEEL AND TIMBER STRUCTURE DESIGN / BFC 43003

CQI 2 : Introduction

1. What is meant by limit state design?

2. Using tensile stress-strain diagram, explain all the parameter in the diagram.

3. Describe the various types of action.

CQI 2 : Bending Member

1. Design a simply supported beam of effective span 1.5m carrying a factored

concentrated load of 360 kN at mid span.

2. Design a simply supported beam of 10m effective span carrying a total load of 60
kN/m. The depth of beam should not exceed 500mm. The compression flange of the
beam is laterally supported by floor construction. Assume stiff end bearing is 75mm.

3. Describe how to design unrestrained beam.

CQI 2 : Compression Members

1. Define effective length of a column.

2. What are the different effective lengths for different boundary condition?

3. Define slenderness ratio

4. Draw the diagram of buckling of column

5. What are Steps in the design of axially loaded columns

6. What are Steps in the design of member in bending and axial compression

7. Design a column with UC section of length 10m to carry an axial factored load of
1400kN. The column may be assumed to have restrained in position but not in
direction at both ends.
