Which of the following is not an acceptable means of making a steel column fire resistant Wrap the column with layers of drywall. Apply an intumescent mastic/paint. Encase the column in concrete. All of the above are acceptable means of making a steel column fire resistant.

All of the above are acceptable means of making a steel column fire resistant.

Shear studs are often welded to the top of a steel beam (see the accompanying sketch). These studs serve to: strengthen the beam's connection to an adjoining beam or girder. ensure a proper moment connection to an adjoining beam or girder. bond the beam to the concrete and cause the beam and concrete to act as a single structural unit. anchor the metal decking to the beam. none of the above.

bond the beam to the concrete and cause the beam and concrete to act as a single structural unit.

Steel production does notinclude: coking of coal. reheating in a breakdown mill. continuous casting of molten steel into W-shapes. electric furnace melting. disposal of slag.

continuous casting of molten steel into W-shapes.
