08. An ISMB 500 is used as a beam in a multistory construction. From the viewpoint of

structural design, it can be considered to be ‘laterally restrained’ when

(a) the tension flange is laterally restrained

(c) the web is adequately stiffened

(d) the conditions in both (a) and (c) are met.

(a) 1,2,3 and 4 (b) 3 and 4 only

(c) 1 and 2 only (d) 2 and 3 only

Ans: (c)

10. In a steel plate girder, the web plate is connected to the flange plates by fillet welding.

The size of fillet welds is designed to safely resist.

(b) the vertical shear force at the section

(c) the horizontal shear forces between the flanges and the web plate

(d) the forces causing buckling in the web
