Solutions

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Stretcher bond consist stretcher in each course. This bond is used in the construction of 10 cm. thick wall or partition wall or cavity wall etc.

Civil Engineering quizs

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Ultimate bearing capacity (q_u ) = CN_c+ qN_q + 0.5B_r N_r
For cohesive soil
C=10 kN\/m²
N_c=5.7
N_q=1
Net ultimate bearing capacity (q_nu ) =?
q_nu=CN_c
= 10 ×5.7
=57 kN/m²

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. The concrete in which no reinforcement is provided called plain concrete. Plain concrete is strong in taking Compressive stresses. The tensile strength of concrete is 10 to 15% of compressive strength.

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. 1 cm = 4 m
1 cm = 400 cm
▭(Fractional scale=1/400=1:400)

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Measured length of line (L’) = 327 m.
Length of tape (l) = 20 m.
True length of tape (l’) = 20 + 0.03 = 20.03 m.
True length of line (L) =?
L × l = L’ × l’
L × 20 = 327 × 20.03
L = (327×20.03)/20
▭(L=327.49m.)

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given, Porosity (n) = 40% = 0.4
Void ratio (e) = ?
e=n/(1-n)=0.4/(1-0.4)=0.4/0.6=0.67
