(b) Final setting time
(c) Hydration time
(d) Gestation period
Q3. Piezometer is used to measure:
(a) Pressure in pipe, channels etc.

(a) 1.3

(c) 5.2
(d) None of these above
Solutions
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Relation between Duty (in hect./m³/sec or ha/cumecs) and Delta ∆ (in m.) is given by
∆=8.64 B/D
B= Base period (in days)
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Initial setting time → it is the time lapsed between addition of water and the time when cement paste starts loose its plasticity.
Final setting time → it is the time lapsed between addition of water and the time when cement paste completely loses its plasticity.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Piezometer is a device which is used to measure low pressure it can only measure pressure of liquid only and not able to measure for gas. It could not able to measure pressure below ambient i.e., vacuum pressure.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. working (Permissible) stress for steel in Tension = 0.60 fy
= 0.60 ×250
= 150 N/mm²
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. When torsion is dominant then Box-type section used & second most probable section for torsion dominant is I-Section because the shear center of these sections not lies outside.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. water content (w) = 200%
G= 2.6
Void Ratio (e) =?
→ soil is fully saturated (S = 1)
Se = WG
1×e = 2×2.6
▭(e=5.2)
