   In the built-up steel columns, the lacing is provided ______. i) to keep all individual sections together. ii) to take-up lateral shear to an extent of 2.5% of axial force. iii) to increase the bending strength of the section. iv) to increase the compressive strength of the section.

   1. i, iii
   2. ii, iii
   3. iii, iv
   4. i, ii
   Show answer

   Answer: (4) i, ii

   Lacing ties the component sections of a built-up column together so that they act as one unit, and IS 800 requires it to be designed for a transverse (lateral) shear of 2.5% of the axial force in the column. It does not by itself increase the bending or compressive strength of the section.
