• B1129.67 kN
• C1070.64 kN
• D1360.2 kN

Question 3

For a tension member connected through bolts of size 16 mm and Fe 410 grade steel is used. The plate size is 275 × 25 mm. The gauge distance and the pitch distance are 50 mm and 60 mm respectively. Taking a factor of safety 1.5, design allowable load for the member is ____.

• A1562.5 kN
• B2012 kN
• C1955.55 kN

Question 4

A lap joint is used to connect two flats of width 200 mm and 12 mm thickness with chain pattern bolts having bolt hole diameter 18 mm for M16 bolts as shown in the figure. The yield stress and ultimate tensile stress of flat are 250 N/mm² and 410 N/mm² respectively. Partial safety factor for material governed by yield stress and ultimate tensile stress are respectively ϒ_mo =1.25 and ϒ_m1=1.25. The design tensile strength of flat by considering net section rupture is
