SECTION C 15x2=30

Q.No.3. (a) Design a riveted connection to connect 2 plates of 10 mm and 12 mm thickness using IS 800
specifications.
(b) Design a fillet welded joint to connect 2 plates of 200 mmx10mm and 180mm x8mm. Take
permissible stresses in axial tension and shear as 150 and 110 N/mm2 respectively.
(c) Design a tension member to carry an axial load of 1000 KN. Also design the end connection.
Q.No.4. A discontinues angles strut consist of two ISA 90 x 60 x 8 placed back to back and connected on
both sides of 10 mm thick gusset plate by using a fillet weld. Calculate its load carrying capacity.
Q.No.5. Design a laterally restrained beam simply supported over a clear span of 4 meters and carrying a
super imposed load of 25 KN per meter throughout its span. The permissible stress in bending
compression is 165 N/mm2 and shear is 100 N/mm2.
