1(a) A cross beam ISLB-350 @ 495 N/m is connected to a beam ISMB-500 @ 869 N/m. The top of the flanges are at same level. The framed connection has the following details:
i) Frame angle - ISA 150 ×115×10 @ 200 N/m.
ii) The connection between the cleat angle leg of 115 mm and web of the cross beam is 5 mm fillet weld of length 250 mm.
iii) The connection between the cleat angle leg of 150 mm and web of the main beam is 5 mm fillet weld of length 250 mm.
iv) The clearance between cross beam and web of main beam is 10 mm.

1(b) The design stiffened seated connection has the following details:
i) ISHB-300@630 N/m transmits an end raction of 80 k/N to the flange of column section ISHB-250 @ 547 N/m.
ii) Seat angle ISA 100×75×8 mm at 105 N/m 100 mm along horizontal.
iii) Stiffening angle 2ISA 90×90×8 mm at 108 N/m.
iv) Cleat angle at top ISA 75×75×8 mm at 89 N/m. Connect 2-18 mm dia in each leg.
v) Bolts connecting the stiffening angle with the column flange are 8-20 mm dia. HSFG bolts at a pitch of 60 mm C/C, 4 bolts in each row.
vi) Stiffening angle are tack bolted.
Use 2-18 mm dia bolts.

2(a) A built up column is composed of 2ISLC-350@ 388 N/m placed back to back at clear distance of 220 mm. The column is provided with single lacing system consisting of 60 ISF12 mm at 45° and is connected by a 20 mm dia bolt at each end. The channels are supported over a slab base 600×450×50mm. The angles connecting column and base plate is ISA 100×100×10mm and are connected by 2-20 mm dia each leg. Draw to a suitable scale:
i) Sectional elevation. ii) Plan of slab base assembly with all details.

2(b) Draw to a suitable scale the elevation ana plan of the column splice having the following details: i) Bottom column : ISHB - 300 @630 N/m ii) Top column : ISHB - 200 @ 400 N/m
iii) Splice plate : 8 mm thick iv) Bearing plate : 50 mm
v) Use 8-20 mm dia on each side of the joint in two rows of 4 bolts each for connecting flanges of the columns to flange splice plate.

3 A simply supported welded plate grider for an effective span of 30 m and a udl of 30 kN/m and two concentrated load of 150 kN each acting at 10 m from both ends. It is fully restrained against lateral buckling throughout the span. Design the central section using thin web with K = 100 and end bearing stiffener. Also design the welded connection between flange and web. Take fy= 250 Mpa, fu = 415 Mpa and ultimate stress of weld = 410 Mpa.
Also design curtailment of plate.
