(a) 0.1
(b) 0.4
(c) 0.6

(a) 220 m
(b) 320 m

(a) hinges at mid-height of columns
(b) hinges at mid-span of the beams
(c) hinges at both mid-height of columns and midspan of beams
(d) one support as fixed at base and other support on rollers

(a) 0.79
(b) 0.29

Solutions

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. The coefficient of hardness of a stone should be greater than 17.
▭(Coefficent of Hardness=(20- Loss in weight (in gm))/3)

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. f = 25 cm.
d = 15 cm.
Additive constant =?
In tacheometer. ▭(D=kS+c)
K ⇒ Multiplying constant
▭(K=f/i)
C ⇒ Additive constant
▭(C=f+d)
C = 25+15
▭(C=40 cm)=0.40 m.

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol.

Knot Diameter of knot
Pin knot Up to 6.50 mm dia.
Small knot 6.50 mm – 20 mm
Medium knot 20 mm – 40 mm
Large knot Greater than 40 mm

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol.

Length of curve =(0.8-(-0.6))/0.1 ×30
▭(L=420m.)

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. An indeterminate building frame is statically indeterminate to third degree hence to make it determinate we assume hinges at both mid – height of column and midspan of beams.

S6. Ans.(d)
sol.
w=21%
G=2.70
Se = wG
1×e=0.21×2.70
▭(e=0.567)
