Solutions

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. W.C.B = 137°30’
Q.B = ?

Civil Engineering quizs

Q.B = 180° – 137° 30’
= S 42°30’ E

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. A brick of standard size. (190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm) is recommended by BIS with mortar thickness, the size of such brick becomes (200 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm) and it is known as nominal size of modular brick.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Proof Resilience:
U_max = 〖σ_y〗^2/2E = (400)^2/(2 × 2 × 10^5 ) = 0.4 N/mm^2

S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. magnetic bearing = 167°
Magnetic declination = 180°-167°
= 13°
The value given in southern hemisphere. Then
Magnetic declination = 13°E

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sensitivity=(Unconfined compressive strength)undisturbed/(Unconfined compressive strength)remoulded
Sensitivity=200/60=3.33

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given,
Specific yield (S_y) = 30%
Porosity (n) = 50%
Specific retention (SR) =?
S_y+S_R=n
30%+S_R= 50%
S_R=20%
