Steel structures(CE403)
3. Design a welded laterally supported plate girder of 20m in span. It has to support
a UDL of 120kN/m throughout the span exclusive of self weight. Design the
girder without any stiffeners. Use Fe410
4. Design a tension member to carry a factored tensile load of 400 kN. Two angles
placed back-to-back with long legs outstanding are desirable. The length of the
member is 2.9 m.
5. Design a slab base for a column ISHB 350 @ 710.2 N/m subjected to an factored
axial compressive load of 1500 kN for the following conditions:
(a) Load is transferred to the base plate by direct bearing of column flanges.
(b) Load is transferred to the base plate by welded connections; the column
end and the base plate are not machined for bearing.
