Adopting method of sections and taking LHS of the section
\begin{aligned} &\Sigma F_y= 0\\ &R_P=30kN \\ &\text{For complete truss,} \\ &\Sigma M_R =0 \\ &9R_P-30 \times 6 -R_Q \times 3=0 \\ &R_Q=30kN(\downarrow ) \\ &\text{Taking RHS of section,} \\ &\Sigma F_y=0\Rightarrow R_R=-R_Q \\ &\text{Thus},\;\; R_Q= 30kN(\downarrow )\\ &R_R=30kN(\uparrow ) \end{aligned}
Question 8 |
Assuming that there is no possibility of shear buckling in the web, the maximum reduction permitted by IS 800-2007 in the (low-shear) design bending strength of a semi-compact steel section due to high shear is
Zero | |
25% | |
50% | |
governed by the area of the flange |
Question 8 Explanation:
As per IS 800 : 2007
For semi compact section
(i) In low shear case (V \leq 0.6 V_d)
M_d = Z_ef_y/\gamma _{mo}
(ii) In high shear case (V \gt 0.6 V_d)
M_d = Z_ef_y/\gamma _{mo}
So reduction is zero.
