Solution:

Two equal angles, each being 100 mm x 100 mm with 10 mm thickness, are placed back-to-back and connected to either side of a gusset plate through a single row of 16 mm diameter rivets in double shear. The effective areas of the connected and unconnected legs of each of these angles are 775 mm² and 950 mm² respectively. If these angles are not tack-riveted, the net effective area of this pair of angles is:

Solution:

A steel column of ISHB 350 @ 72.4 kg/m is subjected to a factored axial compressive load of 2000 kN. The load is transferred to a concrete pedestal of grade M20 through a square base plate. Consider bearing strength of concrete as 0.45 fck where fck is the characteristic strength of concrete. Using limit state method and neglecting the self-weight of base plate and steel column. The length of a side of the base plate to be provided is
