TGPSC HMWSSB Manager 2015 Paper 2 · Question 138
Question 138 of the TSPSC Manager (Engineering), HMWSSB, 2015: Paper 2 (Civil Engineering) (1 November 2015). Try it first, then open the answer and explanation.
The Lug angle is a member which ______.
- is connected to the main tension member to transfer the tensile force economically to the joint.
- is connected to the main tension member for erection purpose.
- is connected to the main tension member to increase its strength locally.
- is connected to the main tension member to increase its stiffness
Show answer
Answer: (1) is connected to the main tension member to transfer the tensile force economically to the joint.
A lug angle is a short angle connected to the outstanding leg of the main member and to the gusset, so that part of the force is passed to the gusset directly. This shortens the end connection and transfers the tensile force to the joint economically.
