Test Preparation on RRB JE Mock Test-5

Consider the following parameters with regards to slenderness ratio of a compression member:

1. Material

2. Sectional configuration

3. Length of member

4. Support end conditions On which of these parameters does the slenderness ratio of a compression member depend?

A mild steel flat subjected to a tensile force of 840 kN is connected to a gusset plate using rivets. If the permissible forces required per pitch length-

(i) to shear a single rivert,

(ii) to crush the rivet and

(iii) to tear the plate are 50 kN, 80 kN and 60 kN respectively, then the number of rivets required is

We shall wait here:

Through which of the following responses may a steel tubular hinged strut fail? 1. Compression

2. Bending

3. Overall buckling

4. Torsion

5. Skin buckling
