Design Of Steel Structures MCQ Questions & Answers For Civil Engineering
10. For steel construction where secondary effects, are considered without wind or earthquake loads the permissible stresses on the members or connections, as specified, may be exceeded.
a) 25 percent
b) 33 percent
c) 33.33 percent
d) 40 percent
10. (A)
For secondary effect in steel construction for members and its connection when wind or earthquake loads are not taken into account, then its permissible stresses may be exceeded by 25%
11. In calculating area to be deducted for bolts of 36 mm diameter, the diameter of the hole shall be taken as
a) 37.5 mm
b) 36.0 mm
c) 38.0 mm
d) 38.5 mm
11. (C)
For Rivet
When (d<25)
d’ = d + 1.5 mm
When (d≥25)
d’ = d + 2 mm
∵ d’ = 36 + 2 = 38 mm
12. The maximum slenderness ratio of a tension member, as per the code, shall not exceed
a) 300
b) 180
c) 400
d) 450
12. (C)
slenderness ratio for lacing bars ≤ 145
13. As per the code, the slenderness ratio of the lacing bars for compression members should not exceed.
a) 80
b) 100
c) 145
d) 225
Answer -- C ( 145 )
14. For field rivets the maximum permissible stresses in rivets and bolts as given in the code are reduced by
a) 5 percent
b) 10 percent
c) 15 percent
d) 20 percent
14. (B)
For field rivets permissible stresses are reduced by 10%.
15. As per the code, the permissible stress in axial tension in N/mm2, on the net effective area of the sections shall not exceed (where fy is the minimum yield steel in N/mm2.
a) 0.5 fy
b) 0.6 fy
c) 0.75 fy
d) 0.8 fy
15. (B).
Max permissible stress in
• Tension & compression - 0.6fy
• In bearing (at support) - 0.75fy
• In shearing - 0.4fy
16. The maximum center to center distance between rivets in a tension member of thickness 10 mm is.
a) 200 mm
b) 160 mm
c) 120 mm
d) 100 mm
16. (B)
Max center to center distance between rivers of pitch of rivet in direction of force applied
• Tension member – min of (16 t or 200 mm)
• compression member – Min of [12 t or 200 mm]
∵ 16 x 10 = 160 or 200 mm
160 is lesser one

b) Shearing of rivet only
c) Bearing of plate of rivet only
d) Any of the above
19. (D).
A rivet joint can fail due to
