Q2. (a) Explain the differences between composite beam designed with partial and full
shear connectors.
(6 marks)
(b) FIGURE Q2 shows a profiled decking slab supported by a steel beam of size
457xl91x67UB to form a composite beam. By using the slab in normal weight
concrete of design strength C30 and steel grade of S275, check the design of the
beam based on the information given below.
(Characteristic strength of headed studs in normal weight concrete as shown in
TABLE Q2)
ii) Check the moment capacity of the beam after construction based on
linear interaction method ( Use 19mm diameter stud with stud height
after welding at 95mm)
(10 marks)
iii) Check the moment capacity of the beam after construction based on
linear interaction method if the metal decking is replaced by solid slab
system (Use 19mm diameter stud with stud height after welding at
95mm and thickness of slab at 140mm)

Q3. (a) A simply supported stiffened plate girder as shown in FIGURE Q3 is laterally
restrained throughout its length (i.e lateral torsional buckling is prevented). The
girder is constructed for a span of 25 m using S275 steel.
The characteristic loads carried by the girder are as follows:
Permanent actions, Gk
Uniformly distributed load = 20 kN/m
Point load, Pi = 200 kN
Point load, P2 = 100 kN
Variable actions, Qk
Uniformly distributed load = 40 kN/m
Point load. Pi = 300 kN
Point load, P2 = 200 kN
i. Calculate the design load, and draw the shear force diagram and bending
moment diagram of the girder
(6 marks)
ii. By limiting the span to depth ratio of 12, determine the suitable sizes for
the flange and the web.
(4 marks)
iii. By using a simplified approach, check the shear and bending capacity of
the girder.
(6 marks)
iv. Design the intermediate stiffeners at the location indicated on the figure.
(6 marks)
(b) Describe the differences in the design and behavior of a rigid and non-rigid end
posts.

Q4. (a) FIGURE Q4 shows a pinned base single storey pitched roof portal frame. The
frame, which is made up of Grade S275 UB rafter and UB column, is to be
designed elastically.
ii) Draw the shear force diagram and bending moment diagram of the
frame.
iii) Verify whether the rafter size of 533 x 210 x 92 UKB is adequate or not.
(b) In designing portal frames, plastic analysis is commonly used also. State the
main reason of using plastic design.
Furthermore, if the frame is to be designed plastically, list the main steps or
verifications (checks) that need to be carried out.
