Assignment-I

Q.1. what are the Advantages and disadvantages of steel structures.

Q.2. Enlist various types of standard rolled sections.
Q.3. Discuss Limit state of strength and Limit state of serviceability.
Q.4 Classification of cross sections such as plastic. Compact, semi-compact,
Slender with necessary sketches
Q.5 Find the efficiency of the lap joint shown in Fig. Given: M20 bolts of grade 4.6
and Fe 410 (E 250) plates are used.

For M20 bolts of grade 4.6,

diameter of bolt, d = 20 mm
diameter of bolt hole, d0 = 22 mm
Ultimate strength fub = 400 MPa
Partial safety factor, γmb = 1.25
For Fe 410 (E 250) plates,
Ultimate stress, fu = 410 MPa
Partial safety factor, γml = 1.25

Q.6 Design a suitable longitudinal fillet weld to connect the plates as shown in Fig.
to transmit a pull equal to the full strength of small plate. Given: Plates are
12 mm thick; grade of plates Fe 410 and welding to be made in workshop.
