Q: In steel structures, the splices used in compression member are designed as____.
  • A. short columns
  • B. battens
  • C. slender columns
  • D. per the thickness of splice
Correct Answer: Option A - Column splice– A joint in the length of a column provided, (when necessary) is known as column splice. It is also described as column joint. The rolled steel sections are manufactured upto a certain maximum length, when length of the column required is more than the length of rolled steel sections manufactured. When the columns is used in multistorey is less than that for the columns in upper storey and lower storey separately. The splices used in compression member are designed as short columns.
