Design of Steel and Timber Structures (Timber Portion)


Deadline of Submission (2080/10/29)
1. The safe working stress in compression of a standard timber (dhaman) for inside location,
parallel to the grain is 12 N/mm2 and that perpendicular to the grain is 6 N/mm2. Determine
the safe working stress for this timber, if the timber is of selected grade and if the timber is
of common grade (i.e., grade II).
2. The safe working stress in compression of a timber (dhaman) for inside location parallel to
the grain is 12 N/mm2 and that perpendicular to the grain is 6 N/mm2. Determine the
permissible bearing stress in the direction of line of action of the load acting at 30° to the
grain direction.
3. A column 150 mm in diameter is made of deodar wood. The effective length of column is
1.20 m. Determine the safe axial load of the round column. The column in situated in
outside location and subjected to alternate wetting and drying.
4. A built-up sal wood column consists of a solid core 200 mm ×200 mm and four planks 50
mm × 50 mm. All the pieces are spiked together. The effective length of column is 3 m.
Determine the safe axial load on the column.
5. A column carries an axial load of 1000 kN inclusive of self-weight. The effective length of
column is 3.60 m. Design a built-up sal wood column.
6. A spaced column is 3.8 m long. It carries an axial compression of 60 kN. Design the
column. Use deodar wood for the spaced column.
7. Specify the types of timber columns according to their slenderness ratio. How the
slenderness ratio is defined in solid, built-up and spaced column.
8. Design a solid wood column to resist a factored axial load of 75 kN and Factored moment
of 12 kNm. The column is made of Sal wood and is 2m long.
9. Design a built up salwood column fabricated with 50 mm thick and 250 mm width planks
to carry an axial load of 925 kN. The effective length of the column is 3.5 m. Take
E=72700N/mm2, fcp =10.6 N/mm2 constant. U=0.6 and q= l.
10. Design a timber beam of sal wood having clear span 2.5 m, support width 300 mm and
subjected to imposed load of 20 KN/m.
11. Design a 5 m long rectangular box column built by 60 mm thick deodar planks to carry an
axial load of 350 kN.
12. If a sal-wood column of 25cm x 25cm has a length of 4m, determine whether the column
can carry 200KN axial load and 20KNm bending moment. Assume suitable data if
necessary.
13. What are the different factors, which govern the design of beam?
14. Briefly describe about the nail joint used in timber structures.
15. A simply supported timber beam carries a total uniformly distributed load of 50 kN
inclusive of self- weight. The effective span of beam is 8m. The timber beam is made of
sal wood. 300 mm × 50 mm planks are only available. Design a built-up beam.
16. Teak wood floor beams are used at spacing of 3m centres. The span of the beam is 5m. The
dead load of span is 3 KN/m2 and live load 2KN/m2. Design the beam if end bearings are
25cm at both ends. Assume necessary data if required.
17. A beam is simply supported at its both the ends. The effective span of beam is 6 mm. It
consists of 200 mm × 300 mm teak wood with 300 mm× 12 mm steel plates bolted to its
sides as shown in Figure. Determine the safe uniformly distributed load, which the beam
will support.
