CV417: STRUCTURAL DESIGN & DRAWING

Sheet No- 2

(1) A double plate bracket is provided using 12 mm thick plates connected to flanges of a steel
column ISHB 450@653 N/m and transmit a load of 550 kN at an eccentricity of 200 mm. Design
the bracket using 22 mm diameter power driven shop rivets.

Draw the sectional elevation and top plan of the connection designed.

(2) A plate bracket, made up of 10 mm thick plate is butt welded to the flange of a column ISHB
200@400 N/m. The bracket carries a load of 100 kN at an eccentricity of 110 mm from the face
of the column. Design the joint.

Draw the section elevation, side view and plan.

(3) A tension member consists of two angle sections and carries a load of 200 kN. Design the
member when both the angles are connected @ on both sides of gusset plate, and (b) on the same
side of the gusset plate.

Draw the cross section and the sectional elevation for both the cases.
