Which of the following is true about effective depth of battens?(a) less than perpendicular distance between centroids for end battens(b) less than three quarters of the perpendicular distance between centroids for intermediate battens(c) not less than twice the width of one member in plane of batten(d) less than twice the width of one member in plane of battenThe question was asked during an online exam.My query is from Battens topic in chapter Design of Compression Members of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Right option is (c) not LESS than TWICE the width of one member in plane of batten

Easiest EXPLANATION: When PLATES are used for battens, effective depth between end bolts/rivets or welds should not be less than twice the width of one member in plane of batten, not less than PERPENDICULAR distance between centroids for end battens and not less than three quarters of the perpendicular distance between centroids for intermediate battens.
