1. As per IS 456:2000 a column in a framed structure is considered to be as a ‘sway


column’ if its stability index value is:

A. Less than 0.04


B. Greater than 0.04
C. Less than equal to 0.08
D. Greater than equal to 0.08

Solution:

As per the clause E-2 of Annex E of IS 456:2000, in page- 92, in order to a column to
be a sway column its stability index value has to be greater than 0.04.
Hence, ‘B’ is the correct choice.

2. As per IS 456:2000, in a framed structure, if a column is considered to be a braced


column, which of the following statement is true:

A. Lateral stability is provided by secondary beam and wall


B. Lateral stability of the structure as whole is provided by beam and column only.
C. Lateral stability of the structure as whole is provided by walls or bracing.
D. Lateral stability is provided by beam only.

Solution:

As per the ‘Note’ of the clause 39.7.1 of IS 456:2000, page 72, in case of a braced
column, lateral stability of the structure as whole is provided by walls or bracing.
Hence, the option ‘C’ is the correct choice.

3. A rectangular column of size 400mm×500mm is reinforced with 8 nos. 16 mm dia.


bars. The grade of concrete used is M25 and the grade of steel used is Fe415. The
column is subjected to a factored axial force of 1400kN and biaxial bending. Based on
the given data the Puz value, nearest multiple of five, according to limit state method in
IS 456:2000 is:

A. 2000 kN
B. 2735 kN
C. 2200 kN
D. 2335 kN

Solution:
Given data,
Grade of concrete = M25
Grade of steel = Fe415
Area of steel, Asc = 8x𝜋𝑟 2 = 8x𝜋x82 = 1608.5 mm2
Area of concrete, Ac = 400x500 – 1608.5 = 198391.5 mm2

Puz = 0.45fck Ac + 0.75 fy Asc


= (0.45x25x198391.5 + 0.75x415x1608.5)/1000
= 2732.55 kN
Hence, the correct option is ‘B’. (Reference clause 39.6 of IS 456:2000)

4. A rectangular column of size 400mm×450mm is reinforced with 8 nos. 16 mm dia.


bars. The grade of concrete used is M20 and the grade of steel used is Fe415. The
column is subjected to a factored axial force of 1900kN and biaxial bending. Based on
the given data the αn value according to limit state method in IS456:2000 is:

A. 1.00
B. 0.55
C. 0.65
D. 2.00

Solution:
Given data,
Grade of concrete = M20
Grade of steel = Fe415
Area of steel, Asc = 8x𝜋𝑟 2 = 8x𝜋x82 = 1608.5 mm2
Area of concrete, Ac = 400x450 – 1608.5 = 178391.5 mm2

Puz = 0.45fck Ac + 0.75 fy Asc


= (0.45x20x178391.5 + 0.75x415x1608.5)/1000
= 2106.17 kN
Pu/Puz = 1900/2106.17 = 0.9
Hence, αn = 2 (Reference clause 39.6 of IS 456:2000)
So, the correct option is ‘D’.

is considered as M20:

A. 0.333 and 0.062


B. 0.456 and 0.082
C. 0.225 and 0.032
D. 0.523 and 0.022

Solution:

Pu 1200  103
(i)   0.333
f ckbD 20  400  450

Mu 100  106
(ii)   0.062
f ck bD 2 20  400  450 2
Hence, ‘A’ is the correct choice.
