Question 154

If the area of cross-section of a single angle discontinuous strut is 30 $$cm^{2}$$ and allowable working stress corresponding to its slenderness ratio is 625 kg/$$cm^{2}$$ the safe load carrying capacity of the member is

Solution

As per IS : 800 - 1984 , When a single angle strut is connected to a gusset plate with one rivet, then allowable working stress corresponding to the slenderness ratio of the member, is reduced to 80%.

So, safe load carrying capacity of the member = $$0.8\times30\times625=15000$$ kg

= $$15$$ tonnes

=> Ans - (C)
