What are the properties of structural steel? o Density. Density of a material is defined as mass per unit volume. o Elastic Modulus. o Poisson's Ratio. o Tensile Strength. o Yield Strength. o Melting Point. o Specific Heat. o Hardness. 6. Which type of steel is most commonly used in general construction? Why? Mild Steel is most commonly used in general construction because of its durability and malleability 7. Define permissible stresses and Working stresses. Permissible stresses Permissible stresses = factor of safety / yield stress Working stresses: The stresses used in practical design are working stresses and they should never exceed the permissible stresses specified by codes. 8. How the rolled steel beams are classified? Indian Standard junior beams (ISLB) 2 Indian Standard light beams (ISLB) Indian Standard medium weight beams (ISMB) Indian Standard wide flange beams (ISWB) 9. What are the load combinations for the design purposes? Dead load + Imposed Load (Live load) Dead Load + Imposed Load + Wind Load or earthquake load Dead Load + Wind Load or Earthquake load 10. Mention the advantages and disadvantages of steel structures? Advantages: Ability to resist high loads Due to its high density, steel is completely non-porous Durability Easy to disassembling or replacing some steel members of a structure Disadvantages: Corrosion At high temperature steel loses most of its strength, leading to deformation or failure 11. What is meant by tensile stress? When a structural member is subjected to direct axial tensile load, the stress is known as tensile stress (σst). The tensile stress is calculated on net cross- sectional area of the member. σst=Pt/An Where, Pt is the direct axial tensile load and An is the net cross-sectional area of the member. 12. What is meant by compressive stress? When a structural member is subjected to direct axial compressive load, the stress is known as compressive stress (σsc). The compressive stress is calculated on gross cross-sectional area of the member. σsc = Pc/Ag Where, Pc is the direct axial compressive load and Ag is the gross-sectional area of the member. 13. Define bearing stress. 3 When a load is exerted or transferred by the application of load through one surface for another surface in contact, the stress is known as bearing stress ( σ p). the bearing stress is calculated on net projected area of contact. σp = (P/A) Where, P = load placed on the bearing surface 14. What is working stress? The working stress is also termed as allowable stress or permissible stress. The working stress is evaluated by dividing yield stress by factor of safety. For the purpose of computing safe load carrying of a structural member, its strength is expressed in terms of working stress. The actual stresses resulting in a structural member from design loads should not exceed working stress. 15. Define factor of safety. The factor of safety is defined as the factor by which the yield stress of the material is divided to give the working stress (permission stress) in the material. 16. What are the methods employed for the design of the steel framework? Simple design Semi-rigid design Fully rigid design Plastic design. 17. What are the assumptions made in simple design? o The beams are simply supported o All connections of beams, girders, or truss are virtually flexible and are proportioned for the reaction shears applied at the appropriate eccentricity o The members in compression are subjected to forces applied at the appropriate eccentricities. o The members in tension are subjected to longitudinal forces applied over the net area of the sections 18. Define Modulus of Elasticity The modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain within the elastic region; it is denoted by ‗E‘. 19. Define Poisson‟s Ratio. The Poisson‘s ratio is defined as the ratio of transverse strain to the longitudinal strain under an axial load. It is denoted by ‗μ‘ or 1/m. the value of Poisson‘s ratio for steel within the elastic region ranges from 0.25 to 0.33. 4 20. What are the steps involved in structural design? o Forces or loads o Structural arrangement and material selection o Analyzing internal stresses o Proportioning of members 21. What is meant by Allowable Stress Design? Allowable Stress Design (ASD) is also referred to as the service load design or working stress design (WSD). The basic conception (or design philosophy) of this method is that the maximum stress in a structural member is always smaller than a certain allowable stress in bridge working or service conditions. The allowable stress of a material determined according to its nominal strength over the safety factor. 22. What are the advantages and disadvantages of allowable stress design? Advantages: Elastic analysis for loads becomes compatible for design. Old famous books are according to this method. Experienced engineers are used to this method. In past it was the only method for design purposes. This method is included in AISC-05 specifications as an alternate method. Disadvantages: Same factor of safety is used for different loads. Latest research and literature is very limited. Failure mode is not directly predicted. With some overloading, the material stresses increase but do not go to collapse. The failure mode cannot be observed. The warning before failure cannot be studied precisely. Results cannot be compared with experimental tests up to collapse. 5 24. What is meant by limit state design? (IS800:2007-Pg: 28) Limit state design method is technologically sound method which results in significant economy in design of structures. The design of a structure to satisfy all appropriate requirements derived from probability considerations is referred to as a limit state design. 25. State the different limit states. (IS800:2007-Pg: 28) The limit states are broadly grouped in to two major types, namely: o Limit state of strength o Limit state of serviceability. 26. What are the four types of serviceability limit states applicable to steel structures? (IS800:2007-Pg: 28) Deflection Durability Vibration Fire resistance 27. Define durability. (IS800:2007-Pg: 2) It is defined as ability of the structure to maintain its level of reliability and performing the desired function in the working environment under exposure conditions, without deterioration of cross sectional area and loss of strength due to corrosion during its life span. 28. How the loads are classified? (IS800:2007-Pg: 4) Dead load Live load Earthquake load Wind load Dynamic loads. 29. What is a partial safety factor? (IS800:2007-Pg: 4). The safety of the structure depends on each of the two principal design factors namely, load and material strength, which are not the functions of each other. Each of the two factors contributes partially to safety and they are termed as partial safety factors. 30. Define design load. The partial safety factor for loads is a load factor which is multiplied to characteristic load, gives the design load. 6 Design load = γf x Characteristic load UNIT II CONNECTIONS IN STEEL STRUCTURES Type of Fasteners- Bolts Pins and welds- Types of simple bolted and welded connections Relative advantages and Limitations-Modes of failure-the concept of Shear lag-efficiency of joints- Axially loaded bolted connections for Plates and Angle Members using bearing type bolts –Prying forces and Hanger connection– Design of Slip critical connections with High strength Friction Grip bolts.-Design of joints for combined shear and Tension- Eccentrically Loaded Bolted Bracket Connections- Welds-symbols and specifications- Effective area of welds-Fillet and but Welded connections-Axially Loaded connections for Plate and angle truss members and Eccentrically Loaded bracket connections.

  • Possible Modes of Transmission of Novel Coronavirus SARS-Cov-2
    Acta Biomed 2020; Vol. 91, N. 3: e2020036 DOI: 10.23750/abm.v91i3.10039 © Mattioli 1885 Reviews / Focus on Possible modes of transmission of Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: a review Richa Mukhra1, Kewal Krishan1, Tanuj Kanchan2 1 Department of Anthropology (UGC Centre of Advanced Study), Panjab University, Sector-14, Chandigarh, India 2 Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, India. Abstract: Introduction: The widespread outbreak of the novel SARS-CoV-2 has raised numerous questions about the origin and transmission of the virus. Knowledge about the mode of transmission as well as assess- ing the effectiveness of the preventive measures would aid in containing the outbreak of the coronavirus. Presently, respiratory droplets, physical contact and aerosols/air-borne have been reported as the modes of SARS-CoV-2 transmission of the virus. Besides, some of the other possible modes of transmission are being explored by the researchers, with some studies suggesting the viral spread through fecal-oral, conjunctival secretions, flatulence (farts), sexual and vertical transmission from mother to the fetus, and through asymp- tomatic carriers, etc. Aim: The primary objective was to review the present understanding and knowledge about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and also to suggest recommendations in containing and preventing the novel coronavirus. Methods: A review of possible modes of transmission of the novel SARS-CoV-2 was conducted based on the reports and articles available in PubMed and ScienceDirect.com that were searched using keywords, ‘transmission’, ‘modes of transmission’, ‘SARS-CoV-2’, ‘novel coronavirus’, and ‘COVID-19’. Articles refer- ring to air-borne, conjunctiva, fecal-oral, maternal-fetal, flatulence (farts), and breast milk transmission were included, while the remaining were excluded.

  • Arxiv:2101.11990V1 [Physics.Flu-Dyn] 28 Jan 2021 in the Study Reported That All of the Restroom Surfaces Appeared Teria Recovered from Air Samples
    Aerosol generation in public restrooms Jesse H. Schreck,1, a) Masoud Jahandar Lashaki,2, b) Javad Hashemi,1, c) Manhar Dhanak,1, d) and Siddhartha Verma1, e) 1)Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA 2)Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA (Dated: 29 January 2021) Aerosolized droplets play a central role in the transmission of various infectious diseases, including Legionnaire’s disease, gastroenteritis-causing norovirus, and most recently COVID-19. Respiratory droplets are known to be the most prominent source of transmission for COVID-19, however, alternative routes may exist given the discovery of small numbers of viable viruses in urine and stool samples. Flushing biomatter can lead to the aerosolization of microorganisms, thus, there is a likelihood that bioaerosols generated in public restrooms may pose a concern for the transmission of COVID-19, especially since these areas are relatively confined, experience heavy foot traffic, and may suffer from inadequate ventilation. To quantify the extent of aerosolization, we measure the size and number of droplets generated by flushing toilets and urinals in a public restroom. The results indicate that the particular designs tested in the study generate a large number of droplets in the size range 0:3mm to 3mm, which can reach heights of at least 1:52m. Covering the toilet reduced aerosol levels but did not eliminate them completely, suggesting that aerosolized droplets escaped through small gaps between the cover and the seat. In addition to consistent increases in aerosol levels immediately after flushing, there was a notable rise in ambient aerosol levels due to the accumulation of droplets from multiple flushes conducted during the tests.
