Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. A brick of standard size. (190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm) is recommended by BIS with mortar thickness, the size of such brick becomes (200 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm) and it is known as nominal size of modular brick.
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. As per IS:800, If webs stiffened both vertically and horizontally, then minimum thickness of web should not be less than d/250.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Proof Resilience:
U_max = 〖σ_y〗^2/2E = (400)^2/(2 × 2 × 10^5 ) = 0.4 N/mm^2
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given,
Specific yield (S_y) = 30%
Porosity (n) = 50%
Specific retention (S_R) =?
S_y+S_R=n
30%+S_R= 50%
S_R=20%
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. The ruling gradient for plain and rolling terrain is 3.3% or 1 in 30 while for mountainous terrain it is 5% or 1 in 20.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. magnetic bearing = 167°
Magnetic declination = 180°-167°
= 13°
The value given in southern hemisphere. Then
Magnetic declination = 13°E
