Calculate the minimum size of an M4.6 bolt required if the maximum torque acting on the top plate is 50 kNm. Assume shank of the bolt to be in shear plane.

What is the effective net width of plate (in mm) shown below in the figure, for carrying tension?

II. In no case, less than two rivets or two bolts shall be used for attaching the lug angle to gusset plate.

III. In case, the main member is a channel section, the channel should be symmetric as far as possible.

A steel rod of 20 mm diameter has been used as a tie in a bracing system. The tie may be subjected to possible reversal of stress due to wind. What is the maximum permitted length member as per IS: 800 – 2007?

For maximum bending moment, the position of wheel load should be placed such that

the most common built up section used for the gantry girder is

For a rectangular cross-section, yield happens when the extreme fitness reaches yield strain ∈y. For strain ∈y., the moment capacity is M₁. What will be the yield moment capacity if the extreme fibres reach a yield strain of 1.5 ∈y.?
