rin
g.n
The merits steel offers to the construction industry have long been recognized
by designers and developers. The versatility of steel gives architects the freedom to

et
achieve their most ambitious visions. Structural steel is an essential component of
stadiums, shopping centers and commercial developments. Steel is the leading
construction material for sustainability, as it can be multicycled endlessly with no
detrimental effect on its properties. W hen a steel framed building is demolished, its
components can be reused or returned to the steel making process to create brand
new components. In the UK ,96% of steel construction components are recovered in
this way.

ww connection
III)Pin connections

w.E Ro lle r, p in ne d an d f ixe d jo in t


IV)W elded connections

asy Fillet joint or lap joint


Bu tt jo int or groo ve jo int

EnSlot and plug joint

gin
2. What is meant by pitch of rivet and gauge line (May/June 2012)
The pitch of the rivets is the distance between centers of two

ee
adjacent rivets in a row. Gauge line is the line of rivets, which is parallel to the
direction of stress.
3. What is meant by gauge distance and edge distance?
rin ( N o v/ D e c 2 0 1 1 )
Gauge distance is the perpendicular distance between two
adjacent gauge lines. This is also called as back pitch.Edge distance is the
distance of the edge of the member or the cover plates from the centre of
g.n
extreme rivet hole.
4. Define staggered pitch.
et
(April/May 2011)
It is also called as alternate pitch or reeled pitch. The
staggered pitch is defined as the distance measured along one rivet line from
the centre of a rivet to the centre of the adjoining rivet on the adjacent parallel
rivet line.
5. What are the types of failures occur in riveted joint? ( M a y/ J u n e 2 0 1 4 )
• Shear failure of rivets
• Shear failure of plates
• Tearing failure of rivets
• Bearing failure of plates

Downloaded From : www.EasyEngineering.net


Downloaded From : www.EasyEngineering.net

• Splitting failure of plates at the edges


• Bearing failure of rivets.

6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of bolted connections?


(May / June 2007)
ADVANTAGES:

1)Bolts can be used in both bearing type connection and slip-critical


connections. Slip critical connections are used for structures designed for
vibratory or dynamic loads such as bridges, industrial buildings and buildings

ww in regions of high seismicity

w.E2)Bolted connections are made in structures which is not subjected to


vibration

asy
3)Bolted connections are preferable where time is considered as the factor to
fabricate
DISADVANTAGES: En
gin
1) They require access to both sides of the joint .
2) They can become loose over time as the nut backs off or as the material
creeps.
ee rin
3) They require holes, which introduce stress concentrations and more failure

g.n
modes; drilling the holes may create cracks which will grow over time to
cause failure.

7. What are the various types of bolts used for structural purposes? et
(May / June 2007)
• Unfinished bolts
• Turned bolts
• Black bolts
• High strength bolts

8. Define slip factor. (Nov/Dec 2009)


The slip factor is defined as ratio of the load per effective
interface, required to produce slip in a pure shear joint to the total shank
tension induced in the bolts.

9.What are the merits and demerits of welded connections? (Nov/Dec 2011)
Merits:
1)Due to the absence of gusset plates, connecting angles etc.,welded
structures are lighter
2)The absence of making holes for fasteners, making welding process
quicker
3)W elding is more adaptable than bolting or riveting. For example, even
circular tubes can be easily connected by welding
Demerits:
1)Due to uneven heating and cooling members are likely to distort in the
process of welding
ww 2)There is a greater possibility of brittle fracture in welding
3)A welded joint fails earlier than bolted joint, if the structure is under fatigue
w.Estresses
10. How to calculate the efficiency of a joint? (April/May 2008)

asy
The efficiency of the joint is the ratio of actual strength of
connection to the gross strength of connected member, expressed in % as,

En
Efficiency of joint = least actual strength of the joint

gin
Gross strength of solid plate member
X 100

11.Define "High tension bolts" ee f

rin
(Nov/Dec 2014)

High tension bolts which have high tensile strength are made from
quenched and tempered alloy steels with grades from 8.8 to 10.9.The most g.n
common are the so-called, general grade of 8.8 and have medium carbon content,
which makes them less ductile.
et
12.What are the limitations of working stress method? (May/June 2016)

1.The main assumption of a linear elastic behavior and the


implied assumption that the stresses under working loads can be kept within the
‘permissible stresses’ are found to be unrealistic. Many factors are responsible for this,
such as the long-term effects of creep and shrinkage and other secondary effects.
2.The use of the imaginary concept of modular ratio results in larger
percentage of compression steel and generally larger member sizes than the members
designed using ultimate load or limit states design. However, as a result of the larger
member sizes, they result in better performance during service.

Downloaded From : www.EasyEngineering.net


Downloaded From : www.EasyEngineering.net

3.The stress–strain curve for concrete is non-linear and is time dependent.


Thus, the elastic modulus is a function of the stress level (it may also change with age)
and hence the modular ratio is not really constant. This method does not consider the
consequences of this material non-linearity.
4. WSM does not discriminate between the different types of loads that act
simultaneously but have different degrees of uncertainty. This may in result
unconservative designs, particularly when two different loads (say, dead loads and
wind loads) have counteracting effects.

13.What is mean by strength of fillet weld? (May/June 2016)

Strength of fillet weld = fy /√3 γmw x lw x0.7S


ww
14.List out the failure of bolted joint (Nov/Dec 2016)

w.E Shear failure of bolt


Shear failure of plates
Tension failure of bolt or tension failure of plate

asy
Bearing failure of bolt or bearing failure of plate

15.What is meant by splitting of plates? (May/June 2012)


En
Splitting of plates is defined as the plate used for dividing a mold into

gin
halves(as in casting split pulleys)

ee
16.What do you understand by prying action? (Nov/Dec 2013)

rin
The prying action is caused due to contact of connected plates, which
gives rise to the additional forces

17.What is riveting?
g.n
(May/June 2013)

et
Riveting is the process of connecting the parts with Rivet having
suffucient extra length for a second head which is formed by hand hammering or
hydraulic pressure driving or by pneumatic pressure driving

18.What is the effective throat thickness of a fillet weld? (April/May 2015)

It is the shortest distance from the fillet weld to the face of the
diagrammatic weld(line joining the toes)the effective throat thickness should not be
less than 3mm also, it should not exceed 0.7t or 1 .0 t underspecial
circumstances.where t is the thickness of thinner plate of elements being weld.

et
( Ap r i l / M a y2 0 1 0 )

The tensile force is transferred from gusset to the tension


member (such as angles, channels or T- sections) through one leg by bolts
or welds. In this process initially the connected leg may be subjected to
more stress than the outstanding leg and finally the stress distribution
becomes uniform over the section away from the connection. Thus one
part lags behind the other;this is referred to as shear lag.

14.Where do you use lug angles? (May/June 2015)
A larger length of the tension member and the gusset plate may be
required sometimes to accommodate the required number of
connection rivets. But this may not be feasible and economical. To
overcome this difficulty lug angles are used in conjunction with main
tension members at the ends. It provides extra gauge lines for
accommodating the rivets and thus enables to reduce the length of the
connection. They are generally used when the members are of single
angle, double angle or channel sections.

4. Define slenderness ratio of compression member. (May/June 2013)


The slenderness ratio of a compression member is the ratio of
effective length of compression member (l) to appropriate radius of gyration (r).

Slenderness ratio, λ= l / r

5. Define effective length of a column. (NOV/DEC 11)

The effective length,KL of a compression member is the distance between


these points of contra flexure. The effective length KL is calculated from the actual
length L, of the member considering the rotational and relative translational
boundary conditions at the ends.

base plate, gusset plate, connecting angles provided on either side of the
column and web cleat angle.
13. Write about batten plates in compression member.
When compression members are required for large structures like
bridges, it will be necessary to use built-up sections. They are particularly
useful when loads are heavy and members are long (e.g. top chords of Bridge
Trusses). The cross section consists of two channel sections connected on
their open sides with some type of lacing or latticing (dotted lines) to hold the
parts together and ensure that they act together as one unit. The ends of
these members are connected with “batten plates” which tie the ends
together.

The basic function of bases is to distribute the concentrated load from
the column over a larger area. The column load is distributed over the base
plate and then to supporting concrete and finally to the soil.

15. What is meant by slab base?


The slab base as shown in Figure consists of cleat angles and base
plate. The column end is faced for bearing over the whole area. The gussets
(gusset plates and gusset angles) are not provided with the column with the
slab bases. The sufficient fastenings are used to retain the parts securely in

PART - A

1. What is laterally unsupported beam? Give an example.


(NOV/DEC 11)
Beams with major axis bending and compression flange not restrained
against lateral bending fail by lateral tensional buckling before attaining their
bending strength. The effect of lateral tensional buckling need not be considered in
the design of beams. These types of beams are called laterally unsupported beams.

4.What do you understand by panel buckling? (MAY/JUNE 12) g.n


et
The panels of the beam sections are f ailed by the buckling eff ect. This
type of buckling is called as a panel buckling. The web buckling and the panel
buckling are same as in the failure mode but the panels are failing by the method
buckling.

5.What do you mean by castellated beam? (MAY/JUNE 12)


Loads and reactions concentrated along a short length of flange of beam are
raised by compressive stresses in the web which vary with distance from the
load. The webs of rolled steel sections are, therefore subjected to a large amount of
stresses just below the concentrated loads and above the reactions from the
support. Stress concentration occurs at the junction of the web and flange.

6. What is web buckling and web crippling? ( Ma y / J u n e 2 0 1 2 )


A heavy concentrated load produces a region of high compressive stresses in the web
either at support or under the load. This causes the web either to buckle or to cripple.
Web buckling occurs when the intensity of compressive stress near the centre of the
section exceeds the critical buckling stress of web acting as a strut. This type of

8. Under what circumstances load bearing stiffeners are used in plate girder?
The load carrying stiffeners are attached with the web plate of the plate girder to avoid
local bending failure of flanges, crushing of web and buckling of web plate. They are
provided under the heavy concentrated loads and the reactions at supports.

15.What is the necessity of curtailment of flange plates in plate girder?


(May/June 2012)
For a plate girder subjected to external loading,the maximum bending
moment occurs at one section usually, e.g.,when the plate girder is simply
supported at the ends and subjected to the uniformly distributed load then maximum
bending moment occurs at the centre.since the values of bending moment decreases
towards the end,the flange area designed to resist the maximum bending moment is not
required at other sections.Therefore the flange plates may be curtailed at a distance
from the centre of span greater than the distance where the plate is no longer
required as the bending moment decreases towards the ends.It gives economy as
regards to the material and cost.At least one flange plate should be run for the entire

ww
length of the girder.

11.How do you calculate the live load and wind load while designing
roof trusses? (NOV/DEC 13)
Live load is considered in the design of roof truss is based on the sloping roof with
the inclination angle and the wind load on trusses are calculated by taking the
algebraic sum of the average external wind pressure and the internal air pressure
with due considerations to local effects.

g.n
Principal rafter is the top chord member of the truss and is subjected
to compressive f orces when the loads from purlins are transferred at the
nodes.

Purlins et
As far as possible purlins should be located on panel points of top chord
members. However it depends upon the type of roofing materials also.
Generally the spacing of purlins varies from 1.35 to 2.0m.
Sheeting’s
Commonly used sheeting’s are GI and A.C.
GI sheets
Corrugated iron sheets are galvanized for protection against
corrosion and are used as roof coverings. The common sizes of GI
sheets are:
8 corrugations, 75mm wide and 19mm deep which have overall
width of 660mm.
10 corrugations, 75mm wide and 19mm deep, which have overall
width of 810mm.

A.C.sheets
Asbestos cement sheets are better insulators for sun’s heat compared to GI
sheet. They are used commonly in the factories and godowns. They are available
in two common shapes, corrugated and traffold.
Principal tie
The lower chord of the truss is principal tie and carries tension. The long middle tie
member of the truss may sag because of its self weight and to check this sag tie
may be provided.
Struts
Struts are the members of the truss which are under compression while those
bearing tension are called ties.

ii) Explain the design principles of gantry girder. (MAY/JUNE 12)


The step by step design procedure of a gantry girder is as follows:
The maximum wheel load is determined.
The maximum bending moment in the gantry girder due to vertical loads.

ww The maximum shear force is computed.


This consists of shear force due to wheel load and dead loads from the gantry
girder and rails. The shear due to the wheel load is maximum when one of the

w.E
wheels is at the support. The lateral forces on the girder and the maximum
bending moments and shear due to these are calculated. The position of the
wheels should be same as that in step 1 and step3.

asy
The plastic section modulus of the trial section is determined by
Mp=fyx2XA/2Xy=ZPfy
ZP,REQ=(1.4 to 1.5)Mu/fy

En
Section is classified.

gin
The girder is checked for moment capacity.
Local moment carrying capacity of the girder is checked.
The girder is checked for buckling resistance.

ee
The section is checked for shear capacity.
Buckling of the web under wheel load is checked.
The girder is checked for bearing.
rin
Rivets/bolts or welds connecting the channel to the I section are designed.
Deflection of the gantry girder is checked.
The girder is checked for fatigue strength. g.n
The bracket and the connection with column are designed.

3. Design an I section purlin for an industrial building to support a


galvanized corrugated iron sheet roof.
