Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
If battens are provided effective length of the column is increased by 10 %. (To take shear deformation effects in column). Shear deformation is more when battens are provided as compared to lacing members, so the effective length is increased by 10%.
Compression members composed of two main components battened should preferably have these components of the same cross-section and symmetrically disposed about their X – X axis.
Spacing of batten (C), from center-to-center of end fastening should be such that the slenderness ratio of the lesser main component,Last updated on May 28, 2025
