### Steel Structures - Beams

1. A beams takes
(a) tension
(b) compression

2. Pick the wrong statement
(a) a beam section is usually chosen which can resist maximum bending moment occurring over its span
(b) Shear stress and deflection for chosen beam section are then checked for permissible limits
(c) check for web crippling and web buckling are secondary design requirement
(d) none of the above

3. In the design of a beam
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d) none of the above
where V is shear force, W is load, and M is bending moment. Z is section modulus.  is bending stress (compressive or tensile) calculated at a point at a distance y from neutral axis.
