2. Distinguish between stiffened and unstiffened compression elements.
3. Find the net sectional area of ISA 90 x 60 x 8 mm unequal angle?
4. Define and differentiate pitch and gauge for a bolted joint.
5. What is web-buckling?
6. Draw a neat sketch of slab base.
7. What is mean by gusseted base?
8. What is slenderness ratio? How does it affect the load carrying capacity of a column?
9. Draw bending stress diagram under a column base which is subjected to a point load P

GROUP - II Marks : 4 x 12.5 = 50

11. a) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of bolted connections. (5)


b) Two plates of 20 mm thickness have been connected in a lap joint using high
strength friction grip bolts. Design the joint so as to transmit a pull equal to full
strength of the plate. (7.5)
12. The tension member of a truss consists of two angles of ISA 60 x 60 x 8. If the two
angles are welded on either side of the gussets plate at the joint, design the joint. Axial
tension in the member is 250 kN. Permissible shear stress in the welds is 140 N/mm2.
Use 6 mm fillet welds.

13. An ISMB 250 is used as a column. It is laterally supported in the plane of the major axis
at a height of 2.2 m and in the plane of the minor axis at a height of 4.3 m. The ends
may be assumed as hinged. What will be the allowable load on the column?
14. Design a suitable Base for a column section ISHB 500 subjected to an axial load of
5000 kN. Base is resting on M20 concrete pedestal. Safe bearing pressure of concrete
is 4500 kN/m2.
15. a) Discuss about effective span and deflection limitations as per I.S. code. (5)
