(a) N 30° W
(b) N 30° E
(c) S 30° W
(d) S 30° E

Solutions

S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Frog is a depression made on the surface of brick. The main reason to provide frog is to form keyed joint between brick and mortar and also used to indicate the manufacture’s name. It is generally 1-2 cm deep.

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. For residential building→
1. Area of window = 1/8×floor area of the room
2. Total area of window opening is taken as 10 to 20% floor area of the room.
3. Total area of window opening is taken as 1m² for every 30 to 40 m³ of floor area of room.

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Limiting value of moment.
[■(Fe 250&→& Mu=0.148 fck bd^2@Fe 415&→& Mu=0.138 fck bd^2@Fe 500 &→& Mu=0.133 fck bd^2 )]

For M25 & Fe500
Mu_lim=0.133×25×bd^2
Mu_lim= 3.325 bd^2
=3.33 bd^2

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Alkaline soils are reclaimed by addition of gypsum and leaching. Leaching is the process of application of excess irrigation water in order to avoid building up salinity in soil.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. The average shear stress in steel beams = 0.4〖 f〗_y.
The maximum shear stress in steel beam = 0.45 f_y.

S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. (FB) = N 30°E
(BB) = ?
Note → If the fore bearing of a line is given as quadrantal bearing then back bearing is numerically same as fore bearing except direction change means just change N for S and vice versa and E for W and vice versa.
Hence, for fore bearing N 30° E, the back bearing will be S 30° W.
