SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol.
DFCCIL'21 CE: Daily Practice Quiz. 21-July-2021_30.1
Maximum strain in extreme fibre of concrete
= 0.0035
Maximum strain in tension reinforcement =
= 0.002+ (0.87×415)/(200×10^3 )
= 0.0038

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Nominal mix design used up to M20 Concrete.
M10→1:3∶6
M15→1:2:4
M20→1:1.5:3
→ For M25 onward’s we use design mix.

S3. Ans.(a)

DFCCIL'21 CE: Daily Practice Quiz. 21-July-2021_40.1
Sol. Let horizontal distance = D
Slope = 1°
Rise/fall = 1m

Tan 1° = 1/D
D = 1/(Tan 1° )
= 1/0.017455
D = 57.3 m

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given, SSD = 80 m.
Set back distance(M) = 10m.
Radius (R) = ?
Set back distance (M) = S²/8R (Approx. relation)
10 = (80)^2/8R
R = (80×80)/(10×8)
= 80 m.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Overturning of vehicles on a carve can be avoided by using transition curve. transition curve is provided between straight and circular curve.

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Highway Geometric are designed for 98th percentile speed.
