POKHARA UNIVERSITY

Level: Bachelor Semester – Fall Year : 2009


Programme: BE Full Marks : 100
Course: Design of Steel and Timber Structures Time : 3hrs.
Candidates are required to give their answers in their own words as far
as practicable.
The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Attempt all the questions.

1. Find the maximum load W inclined at 70 0 to the horizontal which the 15


bracket shown in fig can transmit if 8-20mm dia power driven shop rivets
are used and the plates connected are 12mm thick.

2. Design a beam 5m effective span carrying a uniform load of 30KN/m if 15


the compression flange is laterally unsupported. Use fy = 250 MPa.
3. Design a built up column 9.50 m long to carry an axial load of 1000 KN. 15
The column is held in position and restrained against rotation at both
ends. Provide single lacing system with riveted connection.
4. Design a column base plate for an ISHB 300@63kg/m supporting a 15
compressive load of 400kN at an eccentricity of 100mm from center line
of the column. The load is acting on the y-y axis.
5. Design a tension member using two unequal angles placed back to back 15
and connected with both sides of gusset plate to carry a load of 200KN.
The effective length of the member is 1.5m. Also design the riveted
connection.
6. A salwood timber beam carries a uniformly distributed load 16KN/m 15
inclusive of self weight of the beam. The beam is simply supported at
1
both ends. The clear span of beam is 5m. and bearing at each end is 0.3m.
Design the timber beam. Use permissible bending stress, shearing stress,
bearing stress and Es of timber is 16.8N/mm2 , 0.9N/mm2, 4.5 N/mm2 and
12.7×103 N/mm respectively.
7. Write short notes on (Any Two) 5×2
a. Advantage and disadvantage of steel structures
b. Curtailment of flange plate
c. Web cripling and buckling
