Answer to Question No.l is compulsory and to be answered first.

This answer is to be made in separate loose script(s) provided for the purpose.
Maximum time allowed is 45 minutes, after which the loose answer scripts will be collected and
fresh answer scripts for answering the remaining part of the question will be provided.
On early submission of answer scripts of Question No.l,
a student will get the remaining script earlier.

Answer any five questions from the rest.

Answer the following questions (any twenty): 1x20

Fill in the blanks:

i) A laterally unsupported beam buckles in direction.

ii) Bending stress is maximum in of the beam.
iii) A column section comprising of two separate channel sections spaced apart ate connected by
to work as a composite-section. -
iv) The diameter of bolt hole is =- than nominal diameter of bolt.
v) The Load factor under (DL + LL) combination i.
vi) The bolts which are connected to base plate to keep the base plate in contact with concrete base is
known as _.
vii) --'

viii) Sag Angle generally is a member.

State whether thelollowing statements are TRUE or FALSE:

ix) For a beam section shear stress is maximum at the flanges.

x) The face of a structure where wind strikes first is known as Leeward side.
xi) A purlin is designed as a beam with two span continuous.
xii) The bottom chord member of a cantilever roof truss is essentially a compression member.
xiii) In a bracket connection the overall stress is minimum in a bolt which is at a maximum distance
from centroid of the bolt system.
xiv) ln calculation of effective area of an angle under tension equal weightage of connected and
outstanding leg of the angles are considered.

Two plates 10 mm X 60 mm are connected in a lap joint with 5 M 16 bolts of grade 4.6 and 410 grade
plates. The centre to centre distance of bolts (pitch) is 40 mm and edge distance
on both sides is 30 mm.
Calculate the strength of the joint. Assume shear plane is through the tlireaded portion.
