2. Compression members composed of two channels back-to-back and separated by a small distance are connected together by riveting so that the minimum slenderness ratio of each member between the connections, does not exceed
3. When the ratio of the moment M to axial load P is greater than, the resultant of the compressive bearing pressure which acts at a distance Y from one side, is given by
6. If R is the reaction on the bearing plate, the minimum moment of. inertia of the bearing stiffener provided at the support of a plate girder of overall depth D, the maximum thickness of the compression flange T, carrying total load W, is
Correct Answer: which has a ratio of effective length and least lateral dimension more than 15.
9. For a cantilever beam of length L continuous at the support and unrestrained against torsion at the support and free at the end, the effective length l is equal to
