1. STRUCTURAL STEEL
A double angle tension member , 100 x 100 x 8 mm is subjected to a tensile load P = 210 kN. The
Diagonal member is on slope 2V:H and is connected to the supporting beam by a wide tee:
S1 = 38 mm , S2 = 75 mm , S3 = 100 , t1 t2 and t3 = 16 mm
Allowable strength and stresses:
Yield strength, Fy = 248 MPa , Ultimate strength Fu = 400 MPa , Bolt shear strength Ft = 150 MPa,

1. STEEL DESIGN
Compute the available strength of the compression member as shown in the figure. Two angles 5
x 3 x 1/2 are oriented with long legs back to back (2L5 x 3 x 2 LLBB) and separated by 3/8 inch. The
effective length KL is 16 feet and there are three fully tightened intermediate connectors. A36 is
used and rely to LFRD.
2. GEOMETRY
In an acute triangle ABC, point H is the intersection of altitude CE at AB and altitude BD to AC. A
circle with DE as its diameter intersects AB and AC at points F and G , respectively. FG and AH
intersect at point K. If BC = 25 , BD = 20 and BE = 7 , find the length of AK.

To determine the difference in level between two stations A and B, 4996.8 m apart, the reciprocal
trigonometric levelling was performed and the readings in Table 3.15, were obtained. Assuming
the mean earth’s radius as 6366.20 km and the coefficient of refraction as 0.071 for both sets of
observations, compute the observed value of the vertical angle of A from B and the difference in
level between A and B.
