(d) any point

Solutions

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. In Columns,
1. The minimum longitudinal reinforcement = 0.4 % of gross cross – sectional area.
2. The maximum longitudinal reinforcement = 6% of gross cross-sectional area.
3. The pitch of the transverse reinforcement shall not be more than the least of the following:
(a) The least lateral dimension of the compression members
(b) 16 times the smallest diameter of the longitudinal reinforcement bar to be tied
(c) 300 mm

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Purlins are the longitudinal horizontal beam that is sitting on principle rafter which is used as transverse member between two adjacent trusses.

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol.

Type of cement	Initial setting time	Final setting time
1. Quick setting cement	5 min	30 min
2. Rapid hardening cement	30 min	10 hours
3. Sulphate resisting cement	30 min	10 hours
4. Low heat cement	60 min	10 hours

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given, Area of field = 33600 m²
Length on map = 0.12 m.
Breadth on map = 0.07 m.
Area on map = 0.07 × 0.12
= 0.0084 m²
∵ 0.0084 m² = 33600 m²
∴ 1m² = 4000000 m²
∴ 1m = 2000 m.
Hence, ▭(R.F.=1∶2000)

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Compaction is the process in order to reduce void ratio, permeability & compressibility and in order to increase the degree of denseness, stability, shear strength & bearing capacity.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. In case of cantilever, irrespective of type of loading, the maximum bending moment and shear force occur at fixed end because there is only one support at the fixed end which gives the reactive force or moment for equilibrium.
