The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Relevant codes approved by university are allowed in examination.
Attempt all the questions.
1. a) Design a bolted connection for joint A. The gusset plate is 8 mm
thick. [6]

1. b) Design a suitable welding for a factored load of (200+last two digits

of your roll no.) KN acting 100 mm far from the face of the column
ISHB 300 @ 618 N/m. The length of weld is 200 mm and depth 300
mm. Gusset plate is 12 mm thick. The load is placed 30 degrees to the
horizontal. Use E-250 steel and grade 8.8 bolts. [9]
2. An angle member is subject to an axial force of (500+last two digits of
your roll no.) KN, design the member and connection with a gusset plate
having 12 mm thickness and a lug angle. [15]
3. Design a fabricated composite stanchion having 10 m raw length.
Column is restrained in translation. The maximum load to be transferred
by the stanchion (2000+last three digits of your roll no.) KN. Design
batten system. [15]
 4. a) Design a gusseted base for a column ISHB 350 @710 N/m with
two plates 450*20 mm carrying an ultimate load of (2000+last two
digits of your roll no.) KN. Strength of concrete in the foundation is
25 MPa. [8]
4. b) Design a roof truss for an industrial building having 25 m span
and 120 m length. GI roofing is provided, and the design should be
carried out for Kamalamai. The clear height of the building at the
eaves level is 11 m. [7]
5. Design an intermediate beam for a hall of 24*6 m if beams occur at every
6 m. The slab live load can be considered 2. 25 KN/m/m, slab is 150 mm
thick RC section, floor finishing is 50 mm thick. In addition, an accidental
load of 5 KN/m should be considered for proper safety. Use 4.6 grade
bolts and E-250 steel. [15]
6. a. Design an angle section purlin for: [8]
Spacing of trusses: 3.75 m
Spacing of purlin: 1.5 m
Live load: 1 KN/m/m
Suction: 1.5 KN/m/m
Inclination of main rafter of truss: 32 degrees
6. b. A timber (Sal) spaced column is to be constructed at a wet location to
carry a vertical load of (700+last two digits of your roll no.) KN and
moment of 10 KN-m, design the column with Deodar. [7]
7. Write short notes on: [10]
a) Efficient thickness of plate girder
c) Design algorithm for timber beam
