Week 1 Assignment 1 Solution

Q.1 Which of the following is considered as limit state of strength?


Answer:- (c) Fracture
see clause 5.1.2 of IS 800: 2007
Q.2 Steel is an alloy which mainly contains
Answer:- c) iron and carbon
see slide no-4, lecture 2 (steel as a structural material)
Q.3 What is the partial safety factor for dead load when it contributes to the stability
of the structure against overturning?
Answer:- (d) 0.9
see clause 5.5.1.1(c) of IS 800: 2007
Q.4 Which factor is denoted by k1 in the calculation of design wind speed?
Answer:- (c) Probability factor
see clause 5.3 of IS 875 (part-3): 2007
Q.5 What is the minimum pitch distance according to IS 800:2007 if d is the bolt
diameter?
Answer:- (d) 2.5d
see clause 10.2.2 of IS 800: 2007
Q.6 What is the hole diameter for a bolt of 25 mm diameter?
Answer:- (d) 28 mm
see Table-19 of IS 800: 2007
Q.7 What is the maximum distance between two consecutive bolts (in tension) if the
plate thickness is 10 mm?
Answer:- (a) 160 mm
see clause 10.2.3.2 of IS 800: 2007
The distance between the centres of two adjacent fasteners (pitch) in a line lying
in the direction of stress, shall not exceed 16t or 200 mm, whichever is less, in
tension members.
So maximum distance = 1610 = 160 mm
Q.8 What is the design wind pressure if the design wind speed is 50 m/s2?
Answer:- (a) 1.5 kN/m2
As per clause 5.4; IS 875 (part 3) -1985
Design wind pressure, = 0.62 = 0.6 502 = 1500 N/m2 = 1.5kN/m2
Q.9 IS: 800-2007 limits the values of width-to-thickness ratios of the elements of a
steel section to place a check on
Answer:- (d) local buckling
Q.10 The necking of the steel section during tensile test takes place
Answer:- (c) after reaching ultimate tensile stress
Necking is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large amounts
of strain localize disproportionately in a small region of the material. The resulting
prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name
"neck".
Q.11 Partial safety factor for material resistance governed by ultimate stress is taken in
IS 800:2007 as
Answer:- (a) 1.25
see Table-5 of IS 800: 2007
Q.12 Partial safety factor for resistance of field fabricated welds is taken in IS 800:2007
as
Answer:- (c) 1.5
see Table-5 of IS 800: 2007
Q.13 The partial safety factor for DL + LL + CL in limit state of strength is taken as
Answer:- (c) 1.5
The question was not appropriate. This question will not be considered for
evaluation.
Q.14 According IS 875 (part-3)-1987 the numbers of zone are
Answer:- (d) 6
See IS 875 (part 3) -1985
Q.15 The mechanical properties of steel largely depend on its
Answer:- (d) All the above
See slide no-4, lecture 2
Q.16 The minimum edge distance in member with rolled edge (for bolted connection)
is approximately
Answer:- (b) 1.5 hole diameter
See 10.2.4.2 of IS 800 :2007.
Q.17 Youngs modulus of steel is
Answer:- (a) 2105 MPa
See any book of steel structures or any steel table.
