TOPIC: Connection

1. What is the load capacity of equal-leg fillet weld?

Ans. P = Fv x 0.707wL
2. What do you called the normal distance from the root to the theoretical face of the weld?
Ans. It is a throat
3. What is the minimum center-to-center spacing of plug welds?
Ans. Four times the diameter of the hole

TOPIC: Tension

1. What is the longitudinal center-to-center spacing of any two consecutive holes?

Ans. Pitch (s)
2. What do you called the sum of the products of the thickness and the net width of each element
of a member?
Ans. Net Area
3. If all cross-sectional elements are connected to the support, U can be taken as?
Ans. One (1.0)

TOPIC: Composite

1. What is the minimum in concrete cover over beam sides and soffit in totally encased composite
beam?
Ans. At least 50 mm.
2. What must be provided for composite action if the steel beam is not totally encased in
concrete?
Ans. Shear Connectors
3. To compute the moment of inertia of a section modulus of a composite beam, what are you
going to used?
Ans. Transformed Area Method

TOPIC: Flexural

1. When can you say that it has lateral support?

Ans. When a beam is fully encased in concrete and has its flange welded or bolted along its full
length
2. Is the actual spacing between points of lateral bracing designed as Lb is also equal to the length
of the beam?
Ans. Yes
3. If it is an I-and H shapes that is doubly symmetrical with non-compact flanges bent about their
weak axis, what would be the allowable stress?
