Design of Tension Members
Introduction – different forms of tension members – Behaviour of tension members -Different modes of failures – gross section yielding, net Section rupture and block shear failure – Maximum values of effective slenderness ratios as per code – Calculation of net effective sectional area of single angle with welded connection only – Calculation of the design strength due to yielding of gross section, rupture of critical section and block shear -problems on single angle with welded connection only – Design procedure of tension members – Problems on design of tension members single angle with welded connection only.
Analysis and Design of Compression Members, Columns and Column Basis
Introduction – different forms of compression members – Behaviour of compression members – classification of cross sections – class 1 (plastic), class2 (compact), class3 (semi compact) and class4 (slender) – Effective lengths to be used for different end conditions -table 11 of I.S:800 – Buckling class of cross section – imperfection factor and stress reduction factor for different buckling classes – column buckling curves – Maximum values of effective slenderness ratios as per code – design compressive stress for different column buckling classes – Calculation of design strength of compression members – problems – Design procedure of compression members – problems on simple sections only (no built-up sections) – Design details – effective sectional area – codal provisions for angle struts -single angle and double angle – discontinuous and continuous struts -Codal provisions of single / double lacing and battening for built-up columns (no problems) – Design of slab base along with a cement concrete pedestal, design of welded connection of base plate and column – problems.
