(5 Questions)
- Q1. In which direction will you add bracing in steel structure? and why?
- Ans.
Bracing should be added in the weak axis direction to provide stability and prevent buckling.
Bracing should be added in the weak axis direction to prevent buckling.
Bracing helps to stabilize the structure and distribute loads more efficiently.
Examples of bracing in steel structures include diagonal bracing, cross bracing, and portal bracing.
- Q2. What are different check in footing?
- Ans.
Different checks in footing include bearing capacity check, settlement check, sliding check, and overturning check.
Bearing capacity check ensures the soil can support the load without failure.
Settlement check ensures the footing settles within acceptable limits.
Sliding check ensures the footing does not slide on the soil.
Overturning check ensures the footing does not overturn due to lateral forces.
- Q3. One way shear and two way shear in footing explain
- Ans.
One way shear occurs in footings when load is applied in one direction, while two way shear occurs when load is applied in two directions.
One way shear typically occurs in rectangular footings where the load is applied in one direction.
Two way shear occurs in square footings or when the load is applied in two directions.
One way shear is calculated using the formula Vc = 0.5 * f'c * b * d, while two way shear is calcula
- Q4. What type of structures have you worked upon?
- Ans.
I have worked on various types of structures including commercial buildings, residential homes, bridges, and industrial facilities.
Commercial buildings
Residential homes
Bridges
Industrial facilities
- Q5. Why do you want to switch?

- Q1. SFD and BMD diagrams
- Q2. Moment and shear connection in steel structures
- Ans.
Moment and shear connections are critical in steel structures for transferring loads between members.
Moment connections transfer bending forces between beams and columns
Shear connections transfer shear forces between beams and columns
Common types of moment connections include bolted end plate connections and welded connections
Common types of shear connections include bolted shear tabs and welded shear plates

- Q1. Analysis of frames
- Ans.
Analysis of frames involves determining the internal forces and stresses in the members of a structural frame.
Frames are analyzed using structural analysis methods such as the method of joints or method of sections.
Internal forces such as axial, shear, and bending moments are calculated for each member.
Stresses are then determined using the material properties and cross-sectional area of each member.
Frame analysis is i...

- Q1. What is pile foundation
- Ans.
Pile foundation is a type of deep foundation that is used to transfer loads from a structure to a stronger layer of soil or rock deep below the surface.
Pile foundations are used when shallow foundations are not feasible due to weak soil conditions or high structural loads.
Piles are long, slender columns made of materials such as concrete, steel, or timber that are driven into the ground.
There are different types of pil...
- Q2. Type of foundation
- Ans.
The type of foundation for structural steel detailing can vary depending on the specific project requirements and site conditions.
Common types of foundations for structural steel include spread footings, mat foundations, and pile foundations.
The choice of foundation type is influenced by factors such as soil conditions, building loads, and local building codes.
For example, in areas with poor soil conditions, deep found...
- Q3. How can set scale in autocad.
- Ans.
To set scale in AutoCAD, use the 'SCALE' command and specify the reference length and new length.
Open AutoCAD and select the objects you want to scale.
Type 'SCALE' in the command line and press Enter.
Select the base point for scaling and then specify the reference length.
Enter the new length that you want to scale the objects to.
Press Enter to apply the scale.
For example, to scale an object to double its size, specify ...
