BE - SEMESTER–VIII (NEW) EXAMINATION – WINTER 2017
Subject Code: 2180610 Date: 07/11/2017
Subject Name: Design of Steel Structures
Time:02:30 PM TO 05:30 PM Total Marks: 70
Instructions:
1. Attempt all questions.
2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.

4. Use of IS: 800, IS: 875 and Steel Tables is permitted, provided that they do not
contain anything other than the printed matter inside.
5. Consider fy = 250 N/mm2 and fu = 410 N/mm2 if not mention.

Q.1 (a) What are risk co-efficient, terrain factor and topography factor ? 03

(b) Write design consideration for heavy moment resisting bolted 04


connection.

design the members if factored Wu = 72 kN and fy of steel is 250 MPa.

Q.2 (a) A workshop of effective span 15 m is to be provided with a pitched 07


roof. The supporting trusses are provided at a spacing of 3.5 m. The
purlines are spaced at 1.5 m centres. If the roof is inclined at 30° to the
horizontal, design the purlin. Assume the dead load of the roofing to
be 160 N/m2 and that the wind pressure is 1200 N/m2 normal to the
roof. Consider dead load of purlin = 120 N/m.

100 x 75 x 10 mm and clearance between the column flange and beam
= 5 mm.
