A weld is used for joining an angle section ISA 100 mm × 100 mm × 10 mm to a gusset plate of thickness 15 mm to transmit a tensile load. The permissible stress in the angle is 150 MPa and the permissible shear stress on the section through the throat of the fillet weld is 108 MPa. The location of the centroid of the angle is represented by
in the figure, where
mm. The area of cross-section of the angle is 1903 mm
. Assuming the effective throat thickness of weld to be 0.7 times the given weld size, the lengths
and
(rounded off to the nearest integer) of the weld required to transmit a load equal to the full strength of the tension member are, respectively

Open questionCEMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A post-tensioned concrete member of span 15 m and cross-section of 450 mm × 450 mm is prestressed with three steel tendons, each of cross-sectional area 200 mm². The tendons are tensioned one after another to a stress of 1500 MPa. All the tendons are straight and located at 125 mm from the bottom of the member. Assume the prestress to be the same in tendons and the modular ratio to 6. The average loss of prestress, due to elastic deformation of concrete, considering all three tendons is
