1) In which one of the following case contact pressure at the interface between
For flexible footing on cohesive soil, settlement is maximum at center of footing and minimum at the
edges.
But the contact pressure is distributed uniformly along the settlement line or deflected line.
When a flexible footing is laid on the Cohesionless soil, settlement at center becomes minimum while at
edges it is maximum.
For rigid footings resting on cohesive soils, settlement is uniform but contact pressure varies. At edges
contact pressure is maximum and at center it is minimum.
If the footing is resting on Cohesionless soils, contact pressure is maximum at center and gradually
reduces to zero towards edges. Settlement is uniform in this case also.
Q.2) Movement of water into the soil of earth`s surface is known as ____
A.Infiltration
B.Precipitation
C.Interception
D.Runoff
Answer: A.Infiltration
Precipitation:- It is the deposition of water on the earth surface in the form of rain, show, hail, frost and
so on.
Runoff:- is the volume of water drained by a river at the outlet of the catchement.
Interception:- the volume of water that is caught by vegetation and subsequently gets evaporated is
called interception losses. It is due to evaporation and does not includes transpiration.
Percolation:- It is the movement of water from one soil zone to a lower soil zone.
Q.3) For external stability of plane structure, which one of the following is the necessary condition for
external stability?
Answer: C.Both Reactions should be non-concurrent and Reactions should be non- parallel
All the reactions are not concurrent i.e. passing through same point
The number of unknown reactions must be greater or equal to available equations of equilibrium
Which one of the following is the recommended value of partial material safety factor for concrete in
limit state design method?
A.1.15
B.1.5
C.2
D.2.5
Answer: B.1.5
Q.4) If the value of effective depth of a balanced section of beam is 300 mm, then what will be the
limiting value of neutral axis? Given that grade of steel used in beam is Fe 415.
A.96mm
B.120mm
C.136mm
D.144 mm
Answer: D.144 mm
The limiting values of the depth of neutral axis Xm for different grades of steel from strain diagram.
Q.5) If the probability of occurance of point rainfall is 0.1, then what will be the value of return period of
point rainfall?
A.10
B.5
C.20
D.15
Answer: A.10
The probability
Q.6) Which one of the following type of pressure will be exerted by sandy back fill on the back of a
cantilever sheet pile wall near the embedded end?
A.Active pressure
Q.7) As per guidelines of WMO, what is minimum percentage of rain gauge stations that should be
equipped with automatic rain gauges ____
A.10
B.20
C.30
D.40
Answer: A.10
As per WMO recommendation Ten per cent of raingauge stations should be equipped with self recording
gauges to know the intensities of rainfall.
Q. 8) What will be the value of stability number of an infinite slope of clay having depth of 5m, cohesion
value of 2 t/m and unit weight of 2t/m ?
A.0.1
B.0.2
C.0.3
D.0.4
Answer: B.0.2
Q.9)Two bars of different materials but same length and same cross sectional area are subject to the
same tensile force. If the elongations of bars is in the ratio of 3 : 4, then the ratio of modulus of elasticity
of the two materials wil be
A.2 : 5
B.5 : 2
C.4 : 3
D.3 : 4
Answer: C.4 : 3
As we know,
Elongation of bar is ( pl / AE )
So, elongation of bar is inversity proportional to Modules of elasticity E
Q. 10) As per IS 4987-1968 the recommended rain gauge network density in plain areas is ____
From practical considerations of Indian conditions, the Indian Standard (IS : 4987- 1968) recommends
the following densities as sufficient.
Q. 12)
When there is seepage of water, the effective stress value will differ from that in static condition. The
value of effective stress will depend upon the direction of seepage.
Determine the effective stress for an upward seepage using the relation;
…… (1)
Here, z is the depth of any point below the soil surface, I is the hydraulic gradient,
is the submerged unit weight of soil, and is the unit weight of water.
Determine the effective stress for a downward seepage using the relation;
…… (2)
Hence, effective stress due to downward seepage will always be higher than upward seepage.
If the cross- slope of the country lie in the range of 25% to 60% then the terrain is classified as:
A.Plain
B.Rolling
C.Mountainous
D.Steep
Answer: C.Mountainous
Indian Road Congress (IRC) has classified the terrains into four categories, namely plain, rolling,
mountainous, and steep based on the cross slope as given in table 1. Based on the type of road and type
of terrain the design speed varies
Plain 0 - 10
Rolling 10 - 25
Mountainous 25 - 60
Steep > 60
Which one of the following method calculates average depth of precipitation over a catchment ?
C.Isohyetal method
As per IS 456:2000, concretes falling in the range of M25 to M55 are classified as:
As per IS 456

percent.
A.1.7
B.2
C.2.5
D.3
Answer: B.2
IRC Values for camber depend on pavement surface and nature of rains.
Earth road 4% 3%
