Answer any two questions from each part

PART A

1 Design a stiffened seat angle connection to transfer a reaction of 200 KN from 9 Marks an ISMB
300 beam to ISHB 200 column. Assume Fe 410 grade steel- Design it for bolted

connections.

a) Design a bolted cover plate splice for a ISHB 225 column connected to an 6 Marks
ISHB 225. to transfer a tactored a.xial load of 450kN. both columns are of grade

Fe415 steel. The ends are not machined for full contact in bearing .

3 Marks
b) Explain weld defects
3 Design members AB, AC and joint A of the roof truss for the following data. 9 Marks
Use the tubes of grade Y st 210. Provide welded connection at joint A. AB. of
length 2.5m has to a can-y a compressive force of 90 KN and AC of length 3 m
has to cany a tensile force of 100 KN. AB is inclined to AC(horizontal) at an
angle of 23 °
PARTB
4 The span of knee braced roof trusses over an industrial building 36 m long is 9 Marks

16m. The spacing of roof truss is 3m, The pitch of roof is I in 4. Asbestos cement

corrugated sheets are used for roof covering. Basic wind pressure is

1.6 KN/m 2 . The height of eaves above ground level is 8.6m. Propose a suitable type

of roof truss. Determine the load at varoius panel points due to
