Battens should be designed to resist transverse shear force which is(a) 5% of axial force(b) 0.5% of axial force(c) 2.5% of axial force(d) 7.2% of axial forceI have been asked this question during an interview.This interesting question is from Battens topic in section Design of Compression Members of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (c) 2.5% of axial force

The explanation: Battens should be designed to resist transverse shear force which is 2.5% of TOTAL axial force on whole COMPRESSION member. This transverse shear force is divided EQUALLY in all parallel planes in which, there is shear resisting ELEMENTS.
