PARTA: ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

QI (a) Explain the classifications of cross sections. Draw the curvature for the classification
ofcross sections.
(5 marks)

(b) Describe the lateral buckling of beam.

(5 marks)

(c) A simply supported steel joist with a 4.0 m effective span carries a uniformly
distributed load of 40 kN/m over its span inclusive of self-weight. The depth of the
joist is restricted to 25A mm and laterally unsupported. Take fr: 275 N/mm2, E: 2.7
x 105N/mm2 and G:81000 N/mm2.

(i) Propose a sl:;e for the steel joist

(2 marks)

(ii) Check for the lateral torsional buckling of the joist.

(13 marks)

Q2 (a) List down the checking for axial and moment loaded column.
(5 marks)

(b) A 406 x 178x 85 UB grade 5275 column is used to sustain axial load of 2500 kN. The
column is pinned at the top and connected rigidly at the base. Intermediate beams that
provide lateral restrain at y axis are located 4.5 m from column base as shown in
Figure Q2.

(, Classi$ the column.

(3 mmks)

(i, Check the cross-section compression resistance of the column.

(3 marks)

(iii) Check the column buckling resistance in both axis.

(10 marks) IA

(c) Under certain circumstances, fIEl section is suitable to be used as column compared
to normal UC section. Simply explain ONE (l) of the circumstances.
(4 marks)
