    This document appears to be an exam for a steel structures design course. It contains 9 questions testing various aspects of steel design. Question 1 asks about prying forces in bolted connections and designs a double cover plate joint. Question 2 designs a weld connecting an angle section to a gusset plate and asks about types of welds. Question 3 asks about lug angles and designs a bridge truss diagonal. Later questions cover topics like column design, plate girder elements, base plate design, lateral torsional buckling, purlin design, wind load calculation, bracket connection design, timber beam design, and timber classification. The exam tests a wide range of structural steel and timber design concepts.

    Course Code: CE401
    Course Name: - DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES
    Max. Marks: 100 Duration: 3 Hours
    (Use of IS 800, IS875, IS883 are permitted. Assume suitable data wherever necessary)
    PART A
    Answer any two full questions, each carries 15 marks. Marks

    1 a) What do you mean by prying forces? (3)


    b) Design a double cover joint between the two plates of width 300 mm, if the thickness of (12)
    one plate is 18 mm and the other is 10 mm. The joint has to transfer a working load of 260
    kN. The plates are of Fe 410 grade. Use bolt of grade 4.6.
    2 a) A tie member of a roof truss consisting of an angle section ISA 75 x75x10 of Fe 410 (10)
    grade, is welded to a 10mm thick gusset plate. Design a weld to transmit a load equal to
    full strength of the member. Assume shop welding.
    b) Under what circumstances do we use slot welds and plug welds? (2)
    c) Explain block shear failure. (3)
    3 a) What is a lug angle? (3)
    b) Design a bridge truss diagonal carrying a pull of 200kN using double angle section. The (12)
    centre to centre distance of intersections is 3m. The member is subjected to reversal of
    stresses.

    PART B
    Answer any two full questions, each carries 15 marks.
    4 a) Design a built-up column consisting of two channels placed back to back to carry an axial (13)
    factored load of 1500 kN. Length of the column is 6m and the column is restrained in
    position but not in direction at both ends. Provide single lacing system with bolted
    connection.
    b) What are the main purpose of lacings and battens? (2)
