Civil Engineering : Steel Structure Design - Quiz(MCQ)

When the gauge distance is larger than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a zig-zag line

When the gauge distance and pitch are both equal, the failure to the section becomes more likely as the diameter of the holes increases

When the gauge distance is smaller than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a straight right angle section through the centre of rivet holes

All of the above

Which of the following is not a parameter for decrease in strength of slender member?

residual stress

seismic load

initial lack of straightness

variation of material properties

Correct Answer : Option (B) : seismic load

Explanation : The decrease in strength of slender member is due to following parameter : imperfections- initial lack of straightness, accidental eccentricities of loading, residual stress, and variation of material properties over the cross section.
