Question-:
State the function of following steel structure.
1) Transmission Towers-:
-: To support the high tension cable
3) Roof Truss-:
-: Trusses are used to support the purline and roofing matreials.
It is to note that as per IS 808 (part II) 1978, H beam sections have been
deleted.
The rolled steel angle sections are classified in to the following three
series.
The rolled steel equal and unequal angle sections are designated by
abbreviated reference symbols ∟ followed by length of legs in mm
and thickness of leg, e.g.,
∟130 x 130 x 8 mm (∟130 130 @ 0.159 kN/m)
∟200 x 100 x 10 mm (∟ 200 100 @ 0.228 kN/m)
Where,
Fe=Steel(Ferrous)
Number= Characteristics Ultimate tensile Strength in Mpa
