SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. there are two methods to find coefficient of consolidation ‘Cv’
- Taylor square root of time fitting method
- Casagrande logarithm of time fitting method
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol.
| Population | Peak factor |
| Up to 50,000 | 3 |
| 50,000 to 2 lakh | 2.5 |
| More than 2 lakh | 2.0 |
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. All options are correct, we all are aware already with this fact that sea water contains dissolved salt, dissolved air and some suspended matters which increase its specific weight as compare to pure water.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Eutrophication is caused by accumulation of plant nutrients in water bodies.
S5. Ans. (a)
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. contour line joins all the points whose elevation is same on the earth surface.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Tensile strength of concrete is measured by direct tension test in the universal testing machine.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. The minimum thickness of plastering is 12 mm.
