"effectively restrained in direction but not held in position at the other end".
According to Table 11 [IS 800:2007]- Eff. Length= 2.0 L.

In IS 456:2000, Table no. 28, the theoretical value of effective length for above mentioned condition is 1.00L. Therefore answer is correct.

Its answer. Should be 1.5 as one end is fix in rotation and translation movement while other end is rigid with roller support.

Actual answer is 1.2L reference design of steel structures by S.Ramamurtham & R.Narayanan. Options has to be changed.

At one end is a restrained translation, free rotation as well as another side so, it's equals to 1.0L Nothing but L.

As per the question, one end is "held" other is not 'held' which sounds Pin and Fixed supports, i.e. 0.8L.

Michael L Rokhum said:   1 decade ago
The correct answer is E. It says and I quote "not held in position" so is free to sway. Hence it's 2L.

One support is fixed and the other is shear rollered so theoretical value 1.0L but codal value 1.20L.

Aachal said:   1 decade ago
The correct answer is 1.2 as one end is fixed and the other end free to move in horizontal direction.

Tewelde said:   8 years ago
2L is the correct answer. Because one end is restrained so the effective length should 2L.
