Q.1 Which of the following is considered as limit state of strength?
Answer:- (c) Fracture see clause 5.1.2 of IS 800: 2007 Q.2 Steel is an alloy which mainly contains Answer:- c) iron and carbon see slide no-4, lecture 2 (steel as a structural material) Q.3 What is the partial safety factor for dead load when it contributes to the stability of the structure against overturning? Answer:- (d) 0.9 see clause 5.5.1.1(c) of IS 800: 2007 Q.4 Which factor is denoted by k1 in the calculation of design wind speed? Answer:- (c) Probability factor see clause 5.3 of IS 875 (part-3): 2007 Q.5 What is the minimum pitch distance according to IS 800:2007 if d is the bolt diameter? Answer:- (d) 2.5d see clause 10.2.2 of IS 800: 2007 Q.6 What is the hole diameter for a bolt of 25 mm diameter? Answer:- (d) 28 mm see Table-19 of IS 800: 2007 Q.7 What is the maximum distance between two consecutive bolts (in tension) if the plate thickness is 10 mm? Answer:- (a) 160 mm see clause 10.2.3.2 of IS 800: 2007 The distance between the centres of two adjacent fasteners (pitch) in a line lying in the direction of stress, shall not exceed 16t or 200 mm, whichever is less, in tension members. So maximum distance = 1610 = 160 mm Q.8 What is the design wind pressure if the design wind speed is 50 m/s2? Answer:- (a) 1.5 kN/m2 As per clause 5.4; IS 875 (part 3) -1985 Design wind pressure, = 0.62 = 0.6 502 = 1500 N/m2 = 1.5kN/m2 Q.9 IS: 800-2007 limits the values of width-to-thickness ratios of the elements of a steel section to place a check on Answer:- (d) local buckling Q.10 The necking of the steel section during tensile test takes place Answer:- (c) after reaching ultimate tensile stress Necking is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large amounts of strain localize disproportionately in a small region of the material. The resulting prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name "neck". Q.11 Partial safety factor for material resistance governed by ultimate stress is taken in IS 800:2007 as Answer:- (a) 1.25 see Table-5 of IS 800: 2007 Q.12 Partial safety factor for resistance of field fabricated welds is taken in IS 800:2007 as Answer:- (c) 1.5 see Table-5 of IS 800: 2007 Q.13 The partial safety factor for DL + LL + CL in limit state of strength is taken as Answer:- (c) 1.5 The question was not appropriate. This question will not be considered for evaluation. Q.14 According IS 875 (part-3)-1987 the numbers of zone are Answer:- (d) 6 See IS 875 (part 3) -1985 Q.15 The mechanical properties of steel largely depend on its Answer:- (d) All the above See slide no-4, lecture 2 Q.16 The minimum edge distance in member with rolled edge (for bolted connection) is approximately Answer:- (b) 1.5 hole diameter See 10.2.4.2 of IS 800 :2007. Q.17 Youngs modulus of steel is Answer:- (a) 2105 MPa See any book of steel structures or any steel table.
