DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES (CEC 305)

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, IIT (ISM) DHANBAD

ASSIGNMENT #1

Problem #1

Consider the design loads (i.e., the dead, live, and winds loads) on a steel roof as follows:

DL = 3 kN/m2
LL = 1.5 kN/m2
WL = 1.2 kN/m2 (Upwards and Downwards)

i. Find the load combinations as per IS 800: 2007 for strength and serviceability criteria.
ii. Find the governing load combinations for both the strength and serviceability criteria.

Problem #2

An important community centre is proposed to be built in IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. The size of the
proposed steel building is 30 m X 60 m and its height is 5 m. Calculate the design wind
pressure on the roof and walls of the building as per IS 875 Part 3: 2015. The roof is of metal
sheeting and the roof angle is 15°. The building has 30 openings of 1.5m X 1.5m size.

Problem #3

Design a lap joint between two plates of size 100X16 mm (width X thickness) and 100 X 10
mm to transmit a factored load of 100 kN using a single row of M16 bolts of grade 4.6 and
grade 410 plates.

Problem #3

Two plates 10 mm and 18 mm thick are to be joined by a double cover butt joint. Assuming
cover plates of 8 mm thickness, design the joint to transmit a factored load of 500 kN.
Assuming Fe 410 plate and grade 8.8 bolt.

Problem #4

Design the hanger joint as shown in below to carry a factored load of 300 kN. Use an end plate
of size 250 mm X 150 mm and of appropriate thickness, M24 HSFG bolts (2 numbers), and Fe
410 steel for the end plate.

Problem #5

Determine whether the joint shown in the figure below is safe or not. Eight numbers of 16 mm
diameter bolts of grade 4.6 have been used for the connection at section 1-1. Neglect the effect
of the prying section. Also find the number of 16mm diameter bolts of grade 4.6 to connect
the double angle section (8 mm thick each) member with the web of the tee-bracket. Assume
Fe 410 grade steel.
