Continuous Assessment Test I: February 2018 Reg. No.

This document provides information for a continuous assessment test on the design of steel structures. It includes three parts: Part A contains 10 short answer questions; Part B contains 5 long answer design problems worth 13 marks each; Part C contains 1 long answer problem worth 15 marks. The test covers topics like the use of lug angles, types of bolts, permissible stresses, tension splices, effective lengths, load carrying capacities and more. Students are asked to solve structural design problems for various steel members under axial loads or as connections, including the design of angles, plates, bolted and riveted joints, columns, and base plates.

plate at the ends with 5 nos of 16mm bolts to transfer tension. Determine the
design tensile strength of the angle. i) If the gusset plate is connected to
90mm leg. ii) If the gusset is connected to 60mm leg. (13)

Design the section and its connection (a) Without using lug angle (b) Using
(13)
lug angle.

12 a) Determine the tensile strength of a roof truss diagonal 100 x 75 x 10mm (13)
connected to the gusset plate by 4 nos of 20mm diameter power driven rivets

b) Design a tension splice to connect two plates of size 350 x 20 mm and 300 x (13)
12 mm if the design load is 400 kN.

13 a) Design a double angle tension member connected on each side of a 10mm


thick gusset plate to carry an axial factored load of 300KN. Use 16mm black

bolts. Assume shop connection.

b) A steel column ISHB 400 @ 759.3 N/m is subjected to a factored axial load of
2000 kN. Design the slab base plate for the column and base plate are
(13)
machined and the concrete footing is M 20 grade.

450mm x 20mm carrying a factored load of 3600kN. The column is to be

an axial factored load of 1400kN. The column may be assumed to have
(13)
restrained in position but not in direction at both ends.
(or)
b) Calculate the compressive resistance of a compound column consisting ISMB

m. Assume that the bottom of column is fixed and top is rotation fixed,
translation free. Take fy = 250 N/mm2. (13)
