Identify the INCORRECT statement related to the maximum slenderness ratio of steel structural elements, according to IS 800:2007.
- 1The maximum slenderness ratio shall not exceed 350 for a member subjected to compression forces resulting only from combination with wind/earthquake actions, provided the deformation of such a member does not adversely affect the stress in any part of the structure.✓
- 2Tension members, such as bracings, pr e-tensioned to avoid sag, need not satisfy the maximum slenderness ratio limits.
- 3The maximum slenderness ratio shall not exceed 300 for a compression flange of a beam against lateral torsional buckling.
- 4The maximum slenderness ratio shall not exceed 180 for a member carrying compressive loads resulting from dead loads and imposed loads.
Correct answer
The maximum slenderness ratio shall not exceed 350 for a member subjected to compression forces resulting only from combination with wind/earthquake actions, provided the deformation of such a member does not adversely affect the stress in any part of the structure.
