1) A tubular column hinged at one end and roller at other end has the outside
diameter of tube 150 mm and is of heavy gauge (i.e. @ 16.2 kg/m). The
length of the column is 5.0 m. determine the safe load and column can
carry if the column is of IS 1161 grade Yst 240 steel.
2) Design a tubular principal rafter of length 4.0 m, carrying 200 kN
compressive force. Take fy = 250 MPa.
3) In a truss a tie carrying service tension of 60 kN meets the principal rafter
carrying service compressive and tensile forces of 60 kN and 80 kN,
respectively. Design the members using tubes of grade Yst 210. The panel
length of the principle rafter is 3.00 m. Also design the welded connection
/ joint when the tension member meets the principle rafter at 300.
