Steel Structure Design - Engineering

Q1:

If the depth of two column sections are equal, then the column splice is provided

A with filler plates

B with bearing plates

C with filler and hearing plates

D none of these.

ANS:D - none of these.

Splice in web designed for BM and SF.

Splice in flange designed for axial forces only (i.e. Tension and Compression only).

No need for any filler and bearing plates, the Only splice is needed if the depth is the same.

If upper column depth is less than the bottom column, in that case, filler, bearing and splice all three needed.
