NOTE: Question No.1 is Compulsory. Attempt any four questions from the rest. All questions carry equal marks.
Phones and other Electronic Gadgets are not allowed.

Q.1 Objective Questions:

Fill in the blanks
(i) -------- means increase of carbon in steel.
(ii) Imaginary line along which rivets are placed is called --------.
(iii) Effective length of column restrained at one end and hinged at the other is ---------

True/False
(i) Slenderness ratio of tension is Moment of inertia/ Area of xsection.
(ii) In cantilever beams, maximum permitted deflection is L/400.
(iii) In rolled steel beams, shear force is mostly resisted by flanges.

Short answers
(i) Differentiate between beam and girder.
(ii) List different types of loads acting on engineering structures

Q.2 What are different types of steel used in steel structures based on AISC specifications?

Q.3 Design a fillet weld required to transmit a dead load of 75 kips & live load of 100 kips through two
C11x20 channels to a gusset plate 1” thick. (t=0.548 in)
All materials are of A36 steel. Use E70XX electrodes with ½” thick weld

Q.4 Design number of bolts required to transmit a dead load of 40 kips & live load of 95 kips through two
C10x36 channels (t=0.72 in) to a gusset plate 0.5” thick.
All materials are of A36 steel. Use A307 bolts of 0.5” diameter with two lines of bolts across web of
channels.

Q.5 Design an A36 steel double channel tension member 20 ft long to transmit 45 kips dead load and 110
kips live load. Connection to 0.75” thick gusset plate is by fillet weld deposited with E60XX electrodes.
Take U = 0.85

Q.6 Calculate the net sections area on possible failure paths of C12x30 channel. Only failure paths
symmetrical about the axes need to be considered. Take Ag = 7.0 in2, d = 1.25 in

Q.7 Design W section beam to carry service dead load of 1.5 k/ft (beam self-weight not included) & live load
of 3.1 k/ft. The beam length is 19ft simply supported. Design beam for fy = 40ksi. Also determine un-
braced length “Lp”.

Q.8 Write short notes on any two:

1) Joists & spandrels

2) LRFD methods
3) Earthquake forces
