(5 × 5 = 25 marks)
Part C
Answer all questions
11.Determine the plastic modulus for the section shown. If the area of the
section is neglected, what percentage of plastic modulus of the section is
reduced.
Or
12. Design a tension a tension member to carry a factored force of 340 kN. Use
20 mm diameter black bolts and a gusset plate of 8 mm thick.
13.Determine the load carrying capacity of a strut made with 2 ISA 7575, 6
mm, back to back if the length of member is 3.0 m and welded to a 12 mm
gusset plate.
Or
14. An ISMB 150 is used as a column. It is laterally supported in the plane of
the major axis at a height of 2.5 m and in the plane of the minor axis at a
height of 4.5 m. The ends may be assumed as hinged. What will be the
allowable load on the column?
15.Design the elevated portion of a cylindrical steel tank with hemispherical
bottom for 1,60,000 litres capacity. The tank has conical roof. Take fy = 250
n/mm2.
Or
16.Design the overhead portion of a rectangular tank of 80000 litres capacity.
17.Find the column section properties and allowable load for the column
section shown below. The effective length of the column is 3.2 m. Take fy =
235 n/mm2.
Or
18. Two channel 200 mm × 80 mm with bent lips are connected with webs to
act as beam as shown. The thickness of plate is 2.5 mm and the depth of lip
is 25 mm. The beam has an effective span of 4 m. Determine the allowable
load per metre on the beam. Also, determine the deflection at the allowable
load. The steel has a yield point of 235 N/mm2. Take E = 2 × 105 N/mm2.
