SECTION-B

1. An equal angle 75 mm x 75 mm @ 11.0 kg/m is subjected to a load of 180 KN, whose line of action passes through the centroid of the section, which is at 222 mm from the heel. This angle is to be welded to a gusset plate. If the size of the weld is to be 8 mm, find the length of the side fillet welds.
2. Calculate the number of bolts required to connect two plates of 120mm x 8mm size in lap joint, to transmit a factored load of 120 KN. Use 12 mm bolts of grade Fe 410. Assume any missing data.

3. Draw a neat sketch for the steel roof truss showing its various components. Also explain any ten of its components.
4. Design a double angle tension member connected on each side of a 12 mm thick gusset plate, to carry a axial factored load of 450 KN. Use 20 mm bolts. Take yield stress of material as 250 N/mm’.
5. Write down the steps for the design of laterally supported beams.

SECTION-C

1. A simply supported steel joist with effective span of 5.0 m, carries a uniformly distributed load of 50 KN over its span inclusive of its self weight. The beam is supported laterally throughout. Select a suitable section and check it’s safety.

2. Design a laced column with two channel sections placed toe to toe of length 10 m to carry axial load of 750 KN. The column is restrained in position but not in direction at both the ends.
3. Design a slab Base for a column ISHB400 @ 77.4 kg/m, with one 300 x 12 mm flange plate on each side. The column carries an axial load of 1200 KN. Provide welded connection between column and Base plate.
