SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Minimum compressive strength in N/mm²
Days 1 day 3 days 7 days 28 days
OPC – 16.0 22.0 33.0
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Iron oxide imparts reddish brown color to cement. So, white cement should have least percentage of iron oxide.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Material Unit Weight (kN/m³)
Brick masonry 19-20
Lime mortar 17-18
Cement mortar 20-21
Reinforced Cement concrete 24-25
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Alumina is the most important constituent of good clay, as it absorbs water and imparts the plastic qualities so that the brick can be molded.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Anet = (B – n ×dn) × t
(n = 1)
dn = 18 + 2 = 20 mm
B = 30 cm = 3000 mm
∴ Anet = (300-1×20)×10 = 28 cm²
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. As per IS code, overlength of weld – 2 (size of weld)
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. Strength of steel increases with carbon content, but Young’s modulus remains constant.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Effective span of simply supported beam.
Left = lo+d
Or
=lo+W/2+W/2=lo+W ——— (Whichever is less)
Left = 5000+400=5400
5000+300=5300
▭(left=5300)
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. deflection after partition (final deflection) = Spon/250
Deflection before partition = Spon/350
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. 1200/x=300/(80-x)
▭(x=64 mm)
