SECTION-A
l. Write briefly :

(ii) What do you mean by partial penetration and full penetration groove
weld? Which one is preferred and why?
(iii) List the connections that can be used for resisting moment.

SECTION-B
2. The effective span of a plate girder deck type bridge for a single meter
gauge track is 24 m. The dead load, live load and impact load reaction is
750 kN. The vertical reaction due to overturning effect of wind at each
of the girder is 115 kN. Design a suitable bearing.
3. Describe the top lateral bracing and bottom lateral bracing for the through
type truss girder railway bridge.
4. In the industrial shed with the stepped column as shown in Fig 1, it is
given that a = 3.5 m, b = 8 m and I 2 = 6I1. If the building carries a
horizontal wind pressure of 5 KN/m acting on the left column for its full
height and the crane reactions are 100 KN and 120 KN on left and right
columns acting at eccentricities of 300 mm from the axis of columns,
determine the column moments.

5. In a plate girder through bridge, carrying a single broad gauge track, the
cross-girders are spaced at 4m centers. The stringers are spaced at
2m centers. Design the stringers if the spacing between main girders is
4m centre to centre.
6. Determine the safe load P that can be carried by the joint shown in
Fig. 2. The bolts used are 20 mm diameter of grade 4.6. The thickness
of the flange of I section is 9.1 mm and that of bracket plate is 10 mm.

7. Design a gantry girder for an industrial building carrying an electric
overhead travelling crane, for the following data :
Crane capacity = 150 KN
Self weight of crab = 50 KN
Self weight of crane = 150 KN
Minimum approach of crane hook = 1.0 m
Wheel base = 3.0 m
Distance between c/c of gantries = 20 m
Distance between c/c gantry columns =4m
Crane type = M.O.T
8. The span of knee roof truss used over an industrial building 32m long is
18 m. The spacing of roof trusses is 4 m. The pitch of roof truss is
1 in 4. The galvanized corrugated iron sheets are used for roof covering.
The basic wind pressure is 1.5 kN/m 2 and there is no snow fall. The
height of eves above ground level is 8 m. Design the column supporting
the roof truss for the industrial building. Assume normal permeability.
9. Write short notes on :
(i) The types of bolts
(ii) Concept of various forces in design of bridges
