Advanced Steel Structure

This document appears to be an exam for an advanced steel structures course, outlining 5 questions to be answered. It provides instructions for the exam, including allowing the use of relevant codes and standards. The first two questions ask about calculating wind loads on a steel building and explaining the structural design process and mechanical properties of steel. The third questions asks about types of loads and load combinations for steel design, or types of beam-column connections. The fourth questions asks about continuous beam design or truss bridge design. The fifth question asks about cable analysis assumptions or plastic design of a portal frame.

Q.4

Calculate design wind forces on a steel multi-storey building 60m tall and plan size 10mx20m to be constructed in Bombay. Assume average storey height to be 3.0m. The frames are to be spaced at 5m c/c in both directions Using schematic diagram explain structural design process. Explain important mechanical properties of steel with reference to various loads like static load, impact load and repeated load. OR Discuss about various loads to be taken for design of steel structures. Also discuss various load combination as per codal provisions and their importance. Discuss briefly on rigid simple and semi-rigid connections. Design a header plate connection for a ISMB 300 beam to carry a reaction of 95 kN due to factored loads. The connection is to flange of a ISHC 200 column. Use fe410 grade steel (fy = 250 MPa and M16 bolts of grade 4.6. OR List and explain various type of groove welds. Design a welded splice for an ISMB 300 section to transfer factored bending moment of 75 kN.m and a factored shear of 65 kN. Assume that the flange splice carries all moment and that the web splice carries only shear. A three equal span( L= 8m) continuous subjected to a total design load of 40 kN/m. Using plastic approach design continuous beam with (i) Single section without cover plates and (ii) Different sections with cover plates. Design stiffeners for lateral stability and twist.
