(b) A compound steel column consisting of 2 lSHB400 placed at 300mm center to center carries a total axial load of 2000kN. Minimum slenderness ratio of the compound column is 30. Width of the flange of one ISHB section is 250 mm and its minimum radius of gyration is 51.6 mm. Design a suitable single flat lacing. Assume 18 mm diameter single rivet is used to connect the lacings to the column. Section C [2 x (6+6+6) =36] Q6. (a) Design a tension member subjected to a pull of 200 kN using two unequal angles placed back-to-back with their longer legs connected on the same side of the gusset plate by 16-mm dia. rivets. Also design the end connection using hand-driven rivets. Sketch the joint showing, pitch and edge distance. (b) Find the strength of the member designed for Q6 (a) if the angles are connected on either side of the gusset plate. (c) What will be the load carrying capacity of the member designed in 6(a) in case the shorter legs are connected on the same side of the gusset? Q7. Two wheels, placed at a distance of 20 m apart with a load of 180 kN on each of them are moving on a simply supported girder (l-section) of span 50m. The top and bottom flanges of the I - section are of 200 x 18 mm and the size of web plate is 800 X 8 mm. (self-weight of the girder may be neglected.)

Section D [1x (5+5+5+5) = 20] Q9. (a) Design a simply supported beam, having an effective span of 8m and carrying a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m. The beam is laterally supported. Take fy=250N/mm2 and E=2x 105 N/mm2. (b) Redesign the beam of Q9 (a), If the beam is laterally unsupported. Assume that each end of the beam is restrained against torsion and end of the compression flanges are fully restrained against lateral bending. (c) If the beam of Q9 (b) is laterally unsupported, determine the safe load the beam can carry. Assume that each end of the beam is restrained against torsion, and that ends of the compression flanges are unrestrained against laterally bending. (d) Check the beam of problem 9(a) against web crippling and web buckling at the ends, if the length of bearing plate at the support is 150 mm.
