Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. As per IS800:1984 the maximum deflection/span ratio of a steel member should not exceed 1/325
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. grade companion =
(30+R)/R ≯75/R
=(30+50)/50 ≯75/50
=1.6 ≯1.5
Grade compensation = 1.5%
Compensated gradient = 7-1.5
=5.5%>4%
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol.
d=25 cm
D=50 cm.
d/D=1/2⇒sewer is running half full
Design discharge q=Q/2
q=(A.V)/2
q=((π/4 D^2 )×1/n R^(2\/3) S^(1\/2 ))/2
=((π/4×〖0.5〗^2 )×1/0.015×(0.5/4)^(2\/3) (0.0036)^(1\/2 ))/2
=0.098125 M^3 \/S
=98.125 l\/sec
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol.
E_x=0.003
E_y=0.002
Normal strain on the plane of max. shear plane =(E_x+E_y)/2
=(0.003+0.002)/2
=0.0025
=0.25%
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Aeration is the process of mixing extra air with water which helps in the improvement of chemical and physical characteristics of water.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol.
E_Ce=E_C/(1+θ)
=(5000√fck)/(1+θ)
=(5000√20)/(1+1.5)
= ▭(E_ce=8944.27 MPa)
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. passive earth pressure should be maximum and active earth pressure should be minimum.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. BOD_5 (20°C)=L_0 (1-e^(-kx5) )
(BOD_5)/L_o =1-e^(-5k)
0.68 =1-e^(-5k)
k=0.2278≈0.23
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol.
