Answer any mofull questions from each part
Limit answers to the required points.

Max. Marks: 60 Duration: 3 hours
PARTA

1. A column ISHB 400 @806.4 N/m in the lower storey is to be joined to a column ISHB (9) 300
of the upper storey. A load of 600 KN is to be transferred from the top to bottom storey.
Design the column splice and the connections.

2. Design a stiffened seat angle connecHon for a reaction of 200kN from a beam (9) of
ISMB 300 connected to the flange of a column ISHB300. Assume Fe 410 grade steel.

3. a. Briefly explain the various design philosophies. (5)
b. Explain the types of failures of a bolted connecHon . (4)
PART B
4. A column section ISHB 350 ൫710 N/m carries a factored axial load of 1500kN. (9)

Design a suitable bolted gusset plate and connecaons. The base resets on M20 grade
concrete pedestal.

5. Design a gantry girder to be used in an industrial building carrying a (9)
manually operated travelling crane for the following data

Crane capacity =250kN, self-weight of the crane girder =200kN,

weight of crab =50kN, Approximate minimum approach of crane hook to gantry girder
= 1.2m, wheel base —3.5m, center to center of gantry rails —16m,

center to center of columns —8m, self-weight of rail section = 300N/m, diameter of
crane wheel = 150mm.

6. a. Write short note on anchor bolt and shear connectors. (4)
b. Give a neat sketch and label the components of a typical structural framework (5)

for a braced industrial building
