Question
Consider the following statements related to batten plates: 
1. These normally consist of flat plates, connecting the components of the built-up columns in two parallel planes. 
2. These are used for triaxial loading. 
3. The design of battened columns and the design of battens are usually governed by IS code requirements. 
Which of the above statements are correct?
A.
1 and 3 only
B.
2 and 3 only
C.
1, 2 and 3
D.
1 and 2 only
Answer ( Option A)

1 and 3 only

Solution

• Battens are plates or any other rolled sections used to connect the main components of compression members. 
• Battens should be placed opposite to each other on two parallel faces of the compression member. 
                         
• IS 800:2007, clause 7.7.2 deals with the design of battens. 
• Batten are not used for triaxial loading. 
• Battens are not recommended for a column subjected to an eccentric load is plane of connecting system. 
• Batten plates are designed to carry the bending moment and shear arising from the transverse shear, which is equal to 2.5% of total axial force on the whole compression member.
