(b) Dense sand
(c) Organic soil
(d) Filled up soil

(a) Increase in setting time by about 1 hr.
(b) Increase in setting time by about 4 hr.
(c) Decrease in setting time by about 1 hr.
(d) Decrease in setting time by about 4 hr.

Q4. Isopleths are lines on a map through points having equal depth of
(a) Rainfall
(b) Infiltration
(c) Evapotranspiration
(d) Total runoff

Q5. A steel column in a multistoried building carries an axial load of 125 N. it is built up of 2 ISMC – 350 channels connected by lacing. The lacing carries a load of
(a) 125.125N
(b) 12.525N
(c) 3.126 N
(d) Zero

Q6. Which of the following Levelling is necessary for carrying Levelling across any obstacle requiring a long sight between two points so situated where no place is there for the setup of the level midway between two points?
(a) Differential Levelling
(b) Fly Levelling
(c) Precise Levelling
(d) Reciprocal Levelling

Solutions

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. The box cutting in road crust = 1000×8×(0.15+0.10) = 2000 m³.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Friction piles are also called as ‘floating pile’. These piles are most effective in dense sand and used to transfer load through skin friction between the embedded surface of the pile and the surrounding soil.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Sugar is used as retarder in concrete. It increases in setting time by about 4 hr.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Isopleths are the lines on a map through points having equal depth of “evapotranspiration”. The mean annual potential evapotranspiration (PET) (in cm) over various parts of the country is shown in the form of isopleths.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Axial load = 125 N
Load carrying by lacing member = 2.5 ×125/100
=3.125 N

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Reciprocal levelling → It is done to determined difference in elevations between two points which are situated quite a large distance apart and it is not possible to set up the instrument in between these points.
Ex. Opposite banks of river.
