CV417: STRUCTURAL DESIGN & DRAWING

Sheet No- 3

(1) Design a built up column composed of two channels placed back to back, carrying an axial
load of 1345 kN. The effective length of column is 6 m. Design also a suitable battened
connection for the same.

Draw sectional elevation and plan showing details.

(2) A column ISHB 350@674 N/m is carrying an axial load of 1000 kN. It is to be supported
over a column section ISHB 450@872 N/m. Design a suitable bearing plate and column splice.
Assume column ends to be milled for complete bearing.

Draw the sectional elevation and side view.

(3) An ISHB 250@547 N/m with cover plates 300 mm x 20 mm is used as a column for
supporting an all inclusive load of 1600 kN. Design a gusseted base plate for the column.
Adopt the following working stresses:

Bearing strength of concrete = 4 MPa

Bending stress for the steel base plate = 185 MPa
Shear strength of rivets = 100 MPa
Bearing strength of rivets = 300 MPa
Diameter of rivets = 18 mm

Draw the sectional elevation, side view and the plan showing details.

Note:
