MODEL EXAMINATION
CE3601-DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

OUTCOMES:
CO1: Recognize the design philosophy of steel structures and identify the different
failure modes of bolted and welded connections, and determine their design strengths;
CO2: Select the most suitable section shape and size for tension and compression
members and beams according to specific design criteria;
CO3: Apply the principles, procedures and current code requirements to the analysis
and design of steel tension members, columns, column bases and beams;
CO4: Identify and compute the design loads on Industrial structures, and gantry
girder;
CO5: Find out ultimate load of steel beams and portal frames using plastic analysis.
RBT Levels:(K1-Remember, K2-Understand, K3–Apply, K4–Analyze, K5–Evaluate, K6 - Create)
PART-A (10 x 2 = 20Marks) Answer all Questions
1. What are the types of steel available? CO1/K1
Wrought iron – Carbon content: not greater than 0.15% , Steel -
Carbon content: 0.15% to 1.5% , Cast iron - Carbon content :2% to 4%
Based on carbon content
Mild steel – 0.15 to 0.25% , Medium carbon steel - 0.25 to 0.6% (rail
wheels) ,High carbon steel - 0.6 to 1.5%
2. What are the various types of connections used for connecting the structural CO1/K2
members?
Riveted connections
Bolted connections
Pin connections
Welded connections
3. What is meant by gauge distance and edge distance? CO1/K1
Gauge distance is the perpendicular distance between two adjacent
gauge lines. This is also called as back pitch.

4. Which type of steel is most commonly used in general construction? Why? CO1/K1
Mild Steel is most commonly used in general construction because of its
durability and malleability
5. Define lap. CO1/K2
It is the distance normal to the joint between edges of the overlapping
plates in a lap joint or between the joint and the end of cover plates in a butt joint.
6. Define design load. CO1/K1
The partial safety factor for loads is a load factor which is multiplied to
characteristic load, gives the design load. Design load = γf x Characteristic load
7. What are the various types of tension members? CO1/K2
Wires and cables
Rods and bars
Single structural shapes and plates
Built-up members
8. What is meant by strut? CO1/K2
A strut is defined as a structural member subjected to compression in a
direction parallel to its longitudinal axis. The term strut is commonly used for
compression members in roof trusses.
9. How the effective length of column is determined? CO1/K2
The effective length of columns in framed structures may be obtained
by multiplying the actual length of the column between the centers of laterally
supporting members (beams) given with the effective length factor K. Effective
length = KL
10. Define shape factor. CO1/K1
The ratio of plastic moment to elastic moment Mp / My is the property
of cross-sectional area and is not dependent on material properties. This ratio is
called as shape factor.
