Q1. A clay layer of thickness 10 cm and initial void ratio 0.5 undergoes settlement that final void ratio is 0.2, the settlement of the layer in cm is:
(a) 1
(b) 1.5
(c) 2
(d) 2.5

Q2. A water treatment plant treats 6000 m³ of water per day. If it consumes 20 kg chlorine per day, then the chlorine dosage would be
(a) 3.00 mg/l
(b) 3.75 mg/l
(c) 4.25 mg/l
(d) 3.33 mg/l

Q3. For points and crossings, maximum size of ballast is
(a) 50 mm
(b) 40 mm
(c) 25 mm
(d) none of these

Q4. In a Sutro weir, the discharge is proportional to
(a) H^(1/2)
(b) H^(3/2)
(c) H^(5/2)
(d) H^

Q5. The detention period of a septic tank is of the order of
(a) 2-6 hours
(b) 2-4 hours
(c) 12-36 hours
(d) 4-8 hours

Q6. As per IS:800-1984, what is the axial tension for mild steel power driven rivets?
(a) 100 Mpa
(b) 250 Mpa
(c) 415 Mpa
(d) 1000 Mpa

Solutions

S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. H=10 cm
e_1=0.5
e_2=0.2
∆ H=?
∆H/H=∆e/(1+e)
∆H/10=((0.5-0.2))/(1+0.5)
▭(∆H=2 cm)

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Quantity of water treated per day = 6000 m³
Quantity of chlorine consumed per day = 20 kg.
Chlorine dosage = (Consumed chlorine per day)/(Quantity of water treated per day)
= (20×10^6 mg.)/(6000× 10^3 l.)
= 3.33 mg/l.

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. Relation for discharge over weir

Q ∝ H^n

n = 3/2 for Reatangular weir
n = 5/2 for triangular weir
n = 1 for Proportional or Sutro weir

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. The detention period of septic tank is 12 to 36 hours.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Maximum permissible stress.
