Q: As per IS 800 : 2007 the distance between the centres of any two consecutive fasteners in a line adjacent and parallel to an edge of an outside plate shall NOT exceed ______.
  • A. 500 mm plus 4t or 200 mm, whichever is less
  • B. 100 mm plus 2t or 100 mm, whichever is less
  • C. 100 mm plus 4t or 200 mm, whichever is less
  • D. 50 mm plus 2t or 100 mm, whichever is less
Correct Answer: Option C - As per IS 800-2007 Clause 10.2.3.3 – • The gauge length 'g' should not be more than 100 +4t or 200 mm whichever is less in compression and tension member where t is the thickness of thinner outside plate. • Minimum edge and end distance shall not be (a) Less than 1.7 × hole diameter in case of sheared or hand flame out edges. (b) Less than 1.5 × hole diameter in case of rolled, machine flame cut, sawn and planed edges.
