Design of Steel Structures Model 2 QP
2. 2. (a) Design a tension member using 2 unequal angles of size 120mmx90mmx8mm with a
10mm thick gusset plate. The short leg is outstanding. The pull on the member of 250kN. (16)
(OR)
(b) Illustrate lug angle with neat sketch and give its uses also.
3. i) Describe about laced column and also explain its design and specifications.
(OR)
ii) Design a rolled steel beam section column to carry an axial load 1100 KN. The column
is 4 m long and adequately in position but not in direction at both ends.
4. i) A simply supported steel joist with a 4.0m effective span carries a udl of 40kN/mover its
span inclusive of self weight. The beam is laterally unsupported. Design a suitable section.
Take fy =250N/mm2.
(OR)
ii) Explain the step by step procedure for design of vertical and horizontal stiffeners in a
plate girder.
5. i) Design a purlin for a roof truss having the following data: Span of the truss = 6.0m
,Spacing of truss = 3m c/c, Inclination of roof = 30o Spacing of Purlin = 2m c/c Wind
pressure = 1.5 kN/m2,Roof coverage= A.C Sheeting weighing 200 N/m2 , Provide a
channel section Purlin.
(OR)
ii) Calculate the dead load, live load and wind load on a ‘Fink’ type truss for the following
data and mark the loads on the nodes of the truss.
Span = 12m , Pitch = ¼ of span
Height at eves level = 10m from the ground
Spacing of truss = 5m c/c.
