CE3050: BASIC DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES

ASSIGNMENT-7

Date: 18 March 2019 Submission Date: 25 March 2019

1. Determine the design axial load on the column section ISMB 350.The height of the
column is 6.0m as shown in figure below. It is effectively restrained at mid height by
a bracing member in the z-z direction, but it free to move in the y-y direction and both
the ends of the column are pinned. Also assume fy =250MPa,fu = 410MPa E = 2 x105
MPa.

2. Calculate the compressive resistance of a 200 x200 x 20 angle assuming that the angle
is loaded through only one leg, when
a) It is connected by two bolts at the ends
b) It is connected by one bolt at each end
c) It is welded at each end
3. Design a laced column 10m long to carry a factored axial load of 1100 kN .The column
is restrained in position but not in direction at both the ends. Design the lacing system
with welded connections for channels back to back.
Assume design stress as 125 MPa, and fy = 250 MPa.
4. Design a batten system for the column in above example .Assume the two channels are
kept back to back.
5. Design a column having an effective length of 6m and subjected to a factored axial load
of 2400kN.Provide the channels back to back connected by welded battens. Assume
Fe410 grade steel.
