Design of Steel Structures Internship Test
Intern has to take Design of Steel Structures internship test in which they will be asked 50 multiple-choice questions. They have to score grade A or A* on this test to be eligible for the internship. Here’s a sample set of questions on the Design of Steel Structures topic.
1. Chrome and Nickel are added to Steel to improve _________
(A) corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance
(B) strength
(C) ductility
(D) weldablity
View Answer
Explanation: Steel is weak in fire and corrosion resistance. So, to improve corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, chromium and nickel are added to steel.
2. What is weathering steel?
(A) low-alloy atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel
(B) low-carbon steel
(C) high strength quenched and tempered steel
(D) fire resistant steel
View Answer
Explanation: Weathering steel are low-alloy atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel. They are often left unpainted. They have an ultimate tensile strength of 480 MPa.
3. Which of the following is not a main element of framed structure?
(A) Beam
(B) Column
(C) Shear connector
(D) Lattice member
View Answer
Explanation: For framed structure, the main elements are beam, column, beam-column, tie and lattice members.
4. The partial factor of safety for resistance governed by ultimate strength is :
(A) 1.10
(B) 1.5
(C) 2.0
(D) 1.25
View Answer
Explanation: Partial factor of safety for resistance governed by ultimate strength is 1.25. Factors affecting ultimate strength are stability, fatigue and plastic collapse. The loads are multiplied or resistances are divided by this factor to get design values.
5. Which of the following is not included in imposed load classification?
(A) Residential load
(B) Earthquake load
