(b) Final setting time
(c) Hydration time
(d) Gestation period

SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(d)

Sol.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Broken glass coping measured in terms of square meter while reinforced brick work measured in terms of cubic meter.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. critical depth of neutral axis.
x_c/d=mσcbc/(mσcbc+σst)

x_c/d=m/(m+σst/σcbc) (divide by σcbc)

▭(x_c=m/(m+r)×d)

S4. Ans.(b)

Sol.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Hydrographic survey deals with the large water bodied like river canal, lake, sea etc. Hydrographic survey is the science of measurement of features of marine construction.

S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Isotropic – material having same elastic property in any direction. Exp. – Brass, glass, Aluminium, Steel, Etc.

S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. for railways ballast, the stone should be hard, dense, durable, tough and easily workable.

S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. Initial setting time → it is the time lapsed between addition of water and the cement paste starts loosing its plasticity.

Final setting time → it is the time lapsed between the addition of water and the time when cement completely loses it’s plasticity.

S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. The road intersection when all converging vehicles are forced to move round a large central island in the one direction before they can weave out to traffic flow into their respective directions radiating from the central island is called as rotary intersection.

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Aggregate, Water, admixture = ±3%

cement = ± 2%
