What are the advantages and disadvantages of steel as a structural material?
Estimate the design wind pressure for a 100 m high lattice tower located on the outskirts of Allahabad. Estimate also the wind load in terms of the effective frontal area for the tower.
Derive the Resultant force in Bolted Bracket Connection Type II with neat sketches.
Explain simple post critical method to calculate nominal shear strength of girder.
Explain the Plastic Hinge concept. Obtain the length and profile of plastic hinge for simply supported beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load.
Find out the collapse load for a portal frame shown in Fig. 1. The beams and columns are of same cross section.
A propped cantilever ABCD is loaded as shown in Fig. 2. Find the collapse load if the beam is of uniform cross section.
Identify the three regions of idealized stress–strain curve of mild steel. Which of these regions is (are) used for limit state design?
Determine the safe load P that can be carried by the joint shown in Fig. 3. The bolts used are 20 mm diameter of grade 4.6. The thickness of the flange of I-section is 9.1 mm and that of bracket plate 10 mm.
Write advantages and disadvantages of plate girders over steel trusses.
What is diagonal tension field theory? How does pure tension field concept differ from incomplete tension field in plate girders?
Distinguish between Static Method and Kinematic method of plastic analysis.
Draw the following connections with neat sketches: beam to beam web angle connection, beam to column flange seat angle connection.

Enlist and explain in brief about various loads acting on gantry girder.
Explain simple post critical method to evaluate shear strength of web of plate girder as per IS 800:2007
Type of truss: warren type, Span: 21 m , Width of walk way: 4 m, Panel length = 3m, Flooring = RCC slab 125 mm thick. Live Load: 5 kN/m² & Floor Finish: 1.5kN/m². Assume self-weight of cross beam = 0.8 kN/m. Also carry out required checks.
Determine the maximum bending moment and shear force for the moving loads shown in the Fig. 4.
Calculate the design wind pressure and design forces on the hoarding 10 m long and 5m high (as shown in Fig. 5), to be fixed at the roof of a 24m high building in densely populated area of Delhi. The base of the hoarding board is 2.0m above the roof level.
