Q: Which of the following statement is correct with regards to compression members?
  • A. When the ends of compression members are faced for complete bearing, the splices are designed to transmit all the forces to which they are subjected
  • B. splices are designed as long columns
  • C. the best location to splice a column is at the beam and column junction
  • D. in columns, splice on web is designed for maximum shear
Correct Answer: Option D - Design of column splice– As per IS 800 : 2007 Cl 8.6.4.2 splices and cut outs for service ducts in the webs should preferably not be located at points of maximum shear force and concentrated loads. • Splices in the webs of the plate girders and rolled sections shall be designed to resist the shear and moments at the spliced section.
