Q: As per Is 800, for design of battened columns:
  • A. Batten plates should be provided symmetrically
  • B. Batten plates should be provided asymmetrically
  • C. Batten plates should be provided in any form
  • D. None of these
Correct Answer: Option A - The batten plates are also called as the plates and these are also used in lateral system. The angle section, channels and I-sections are also used as battens. The battening of columns shall not be done where the columns are subjected in the plane of battens to eccentric loading. • As per IS 800 - 2007, clause 7.7.11. According to compression members composed of two main components battened should preferably have the individual members of the same cross-section and symmetrically disposed about their major axis.
