SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. As per IS 456-2000, The minimum grade of concrete used in Reinforced concrete is M20.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Anaerobic bacteria can survive without oxygen while facultative bacteria can survive with or without oxygen.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Alkaline soils are reclaimed by addition of gypsum and leaching. Leaching is the process of application of excess irrigation water in order to avoid building up salinity in soil.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Diagonal tension in beam increase below neutral axis & decrease above neutral axis.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Application of flow net –
- Seepage discharge
- Seepage pressure
- Hydrostatic pressure
- Exit gradient
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. direct method of contouring is the most accurate method. It is suitable for large scale maps when ground surface is regular.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. Rupture stress is the sudden and complete failure of a material under stress.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. RT-1 ⇒ used for surface painting under cold weather.
RT-2 ⇒ Used for surface painting under normal India climate conditions.
RT-3 ⇒ Used for surface painting.
RT-4 ⇒ Used for premixing tar macadam.
RT-5 ⇒ Used for grouting purpose.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Generally, the brick work is measured in terms of m³. but in case of honey comb brick work, brick flat soling, half brick wall or partition wall then, it is measured in m².
S10. 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.
