Q3 Attempt both questions: (2x10=20)
a) A tie member of a roof truss consists of 2Nos of ISA
100x75x8mm. The angles are connected to either side of a
10mm thick gusset plate and the member is subjected to a
 working pull of 300KN. Design the welded connection.
Assume the connections are made in the shop. c =31 mm
b) Design a suitable longitudinal fillet weld to connect the plates
as shown in fig. below. The pull to be transmitted is equal to
the full strength of the small plate. Given the plates are 12mm
thick, grade of plates is Fe410 and welding is made in the
factories.
Q4 Attempt both questions: (2x10=20)
a) Design a laced column 9 m long to carry a factored axial load
of 1200 KN. The column is fixed at both the ends. Provide
single lacing system with bolted connections. The column
consists of two channels placed back to back.
b) Design a built-up column 9 m long to carry a factored axial
load of 1100 KN. The column is restrained in position but not
in direction at both the ends. Design the column with
connecting system as battens with bolted connections. Use
channel sections placed back to back. Use steel of grade Fe
410.
