b)- A beam ISMB 550 rests on 250mm thick brick masonry walls on either side. The
r' clear span of beam is 7.85m. Calculate its effective span. iwo floor joists transmit the
floor load at a distance of 2.7m from each end of the effective span. Determine the
safe load which the two floor joists can kansmit individually on the beam. The beam
is to be considered effectively restained laterally by the floor joists. Consider the self

theoretical cut-offpoints of flange plates can be carried out graphically? [5+5]
 b)- The figure below shows a bridge truss of span 50m and height 8m. The two trusses
V coustituting the bridge truss girder are spaced 7m c/c. Estimate the wind load across
the bridge if the basic wind speed of the locality is 50 m./sec. The width of the
members across the wind is as follows: [10]
i) Bottom and top chords: 500mm
ii; Verticals:350mm
iii) Diagouals :400mm
iv) Gusset plates :15Y0 of total area of the top and bottom chords only. a

' Calculate solidity ratio and taming ratio. Take design wind speed factors
Kr x Kz x Ni = 1.1; wind force coefficient C;= tr.8 for calculated solidity ratio; wind
