Question 1 |
The critical bending compressive stress in the extreme fibre of a structural steel section is 1000 MPa. It is given that the yield strength of the steel is 250 MPa, width of flange is 250 mm and thickness of flange is 15 mm. As per the provisions of IS:8002007, the non-dimensional slenderness ratio of the steel cross-section is

0.5 | |
0.75 | |
2 |
Question 1 Explanation:
\lambda =\sqrt{\frac{f_y}{f_{cr}}}=\sqrt{\frac{250}{1000}}=0.5
Question 2 |
A steel column is restrained against both translation and rotation at one end and is restrained only against rotation but free to translate at the other end. Theoretical and design (IS:800-2007) values, respectively, of effective length factor of the column are
1.0 and 1.0 | |
1.2 and 1.0 | |
1.2 and 1.2 | |
1.0 and 1.2 |
Question 2 Explanation:
The given support conditions indicates the following support/ end conditions of column
l_{eff} as per theoretical conditions = 1.0l_{o}
l_{eff} as per IS 800 : 2007 = 1.2 l_{o}
Considering the errors that may occur due to construction of supports on site.
l_{eff} as per theoretical conditions = 1.0l_{o}
l_{eff} as per IS 800 : 2007 = 1.2 l_{o}
Considering the errors that may occur due to construction of supports on site.

Consider the following statements for a compression member:
I. The elastic critical stress in compression increases with decrease in slenderness ratio
II. The effective length depends on the boundary conditions at its ends.
III. The elastic critical stress in compression is independent of the slenderness ratio.
IV. The ratio of the effective length to its radius of gyration is called as slenderness ratio
The TRUE statements are
I. The elastic critical stress in compression increases with decrease in slenderness ratio
II. The effective length depends on the boundary conditions at its ends.
III. The elastic critical stress in compression is independent of the slenderness ratio.
IV. The ratio of the effective length to its radius of gyration is called as slenderness ratio
The TRUE statements are
II and III | |
III and IV | |
II, III and IV | |
I, II and IV |
Question 3 Explanation:
The elastic critical stress in compression depends on the slenderness ratio,
\sigma _{ac}=\frac{\pi ^{2}E}{\lambda ^{2}}
where \lambda is slenderness ratio of the compression member.
\sigma _{ac}=\frac{\pi ^{2}E}{\lambda ^{2}}
where \lambda is slenderness ratio of the compression member.
Question 4 |
The square root of the ratio of moment of inertia of the cross-section to its cross-sectional
area is called
second moment of area | |
slenderness ratio | |
section modulus | |
radius of gyration |
Question 4 Explanation:
Radius of gyration,
r=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Moment of inertia}}{\text{Cross-sectional area}}}
r=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Moment of inertia}}{\text{Cross-sectional area}}}
Question 5 |
Consider the following statements :
I. Effective length of a battened column in usually increased to account for the additional load on battens due to the lateral expansion of columns.
II. As per IS:800-1984, permissible stress in bending compression depends on both Euler buckling stress and the yield stress of steel.
III. As per IS:800-1984, the effective length of a column effectively held in position at both ends but not restrained against rotation, is taken to be greater than that in the ideal end conditions.
The TRUE statements are
I. Effective length of a battened column in usually increased to account for the additional load on battens due to the lateral expansion of columns.
II. As per IS:800-1984, permissible stress in bending compression depends on both Euler buckling stress and the yield stress of steel.
III. As per IS:800-1984, the effective length of a column effectively held in position at both ends but not restrained against rotation, is taken to be greater than that in the ideal end conditions.
The TRUE statements are
Only I and II | |
Only II and III | |
Only I and III | |
I, II and III |
Question 5 Explanation:
The ideal condition is that column is effectively held in position at both ends but not restrained against rotation. IS 800 : 1984 prescribes the same value of effective length as taken for ideal end condition. Hence 3 is false.
