Stress at which steel fails under repeated application of loads

• Toughness
• Hardness
• Fatigue strength
• None of these

Answer explanation

Repeating/cyclic loading governs fatigue strength.

Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

• Steel sections are named according to their cross-section shape
• Different categories of standard steel shapes are formed by hot rolling and cold forming
• Rolled steel sections commonly available due to demand are called regular steel sections
• With increase in carbon content, tensile strength reduces but ductility increases

Answer explanation

Higher carbon increases strength but reduces ductility, so this is incorrect.

Designation of a rolled steel plate is

• ISP
• ISPL
• ISMB

Answer explanation

Rolled steel plates are designated as ISPL.

Steel structures are ideally suitable for impact loads because they have

• Plastic modulus
• Design stress
• Ductility
• Toughness value

Answer explanation

Impact resistance depends on toughness.
