Beams (Steel)

The semi-compact section of a laterally unsupported steel beam has an elastic section modulus, plastic section modulus and design bending compressive stress of $$500\,\,c{m^3},\,\,650\,\,c{m^3}$$ and $$200$$ $$MPa,$$ res...

In a plate girder, the web plate is connected to the flange plates by fillet welding. The size of the fillet welds is designed to safely resist

Group-$${\rm I}$$ contains some elements in design of a simply supported plate girder and Group-$${\rm II}$$ gives some qualitative locations on the girder. Match the items of two lists as per good design practice and re...

An $$ISMB$$ $$500$$ is used as a beam in a multi-storey construction. From the view point of structural design, it can be considered to be 'laterally restrained' when,

A steel beam supporting loads from the floors slab as well as from wall is termed as

In section, shear centre is a point through which, if the resultant load passes, the section will not be subjected to any

The problem of lateral buckling can arise only in those steel beams which have

Two wheels, placed at a distance of $$2.5$$ $$m$$ apart, with a load of $$200\,\,kN$$ on each of them are moving on a simply supported girder ($${\rm I}$$-section) of span $$6.0$$ $$m.$$ The top and bottom flanges of the...
