Explanation:

  • According to IS 800, the slenderness ratio lt \frac{l}{t} (length/thickness) of lacing flats used in steel structures is limited to 145.

  • This limit is to ensure that the lacing flats do not buckle locally under compressive forces.

  • Keeping slenderness within limits helps maintain stability and load transfer efficiency in built-up columns.

Additional Information

  • Lacing flats are used to connect two main components of a built-up steel column.

  • Proper slenderness ratio prevents local buckling.

  • IS 800 specifies limits on slenderness ratios for different structural elements to ensure safety.
