Question

The slenderness ratio of single angle single bolted strut should be less than ____

• A. \(180\)
• B. \(250\)
• C. \(300\)
• D. \(350\)

Hint:

For a single angle single bolted strut, \[ \boxed{\lambda \le 180} \] as specified in IS 800.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall the IS 800 recommendation. For compression members, the maximum permissible slenderness ratio depends on the type of member.

Step 2: State the limit for a single angle single bolted strut. According to IS 800, \[ \boxed{\lambda_{\max}=180} \] for a single angle connected by one leg acting as a strut. Hence, \[ \boxed{(A)} \] is the correct answer.
