The maximum stress sustained by concrete pavements in kg/cm^2 is _________(a) 45(b) 30(c) 25(d) 15 |
|
Answer» Right choice is (a) 45 For explanation: The concrete pavements are designed to sustain a stress of 45Kg/cm^2 which is the maximum limit. Temperature Stresses– Due to the temperature differential between the top and bottom of the slab, curling stresses (similar to bending stresses) are induced at the bottom or top of the slab Frictional stresses– Due to the contraction of slab due to shrinkage or due to drop in temperature tensile stresses are induced at the middle portion of the slab. Wheel Load Stresses– CC slab is subjected to flexural stresses due to the wheel loads. |

The ______________ is the region of the pavement section that is located directly under the surface course.(a) sub-base course(b) grit(c) base course(d) ballast |
|
Answer» Correct option is (c) base course Best explanation: If there is a sub-base course, the base course is constructed directly about this layer. Otherwise, it is built directly on top of the subgrade. Typical base course thickness ranges from 4 to 6 inches and is governed by underlying layer properties. Heavy loads are continuously applied to pavement surfaces, and the base layer absorbs the majority of these stresses. Generally, the base course is constructed with an untreated crushed aggregate such as crushed stone, slag, or gravel. The base course material will have stability under the construction traffic and good drainage characteristics. |

Three main types of concrete pavements commonly used are Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP), ___________________ and continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP).(a) Jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP)(b) Jointed reinforced pavement (JRP)(c) Jointed concrete pavement (JCP)(d) Reinforced concrete pavement (RCP) |
|
Answer» The correct choice is (a) Jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP) For explanation I would say: JPCP’s are constructed with contraction joints which direct the natural cracking of the pavement. These pavements do not use any reinforcing steel. JRCP’s are constructed with both contraction joints and reinforcing steel to control the cracking of the pavement. High temperatures and moisture stresses within the pavement creates cracking, which the reinforcing steel holds tightly together. |
|
| 13. |
Reinforcement in cement concrete slab of road pavements, is placed ____________(a) longitudinally(b) longitudinally and transversely(c) in the form of welded wire mesh(d) transversely |
|
Answer» Right choice is (c) in the form of welded wire mesh The explanation is: In concrete pavement the longitudinal reinforcing steel is continuous throughout the pavement length. It is a joint less concrete pavement sufficiently reinforced to control cracking, without the aid of weakened transverse joints such as are used in ordinary or conventional type of jointed concrete pavement. Reinforced bars in the concrete are lapped to form continuous reinforcement holding the pavement together in all kinds of weather and preventing formation of large cracks that would otherwise reduce the service life of the pavement. CRCP has all the good features of concrete pavements such as durability, high structural strength, non-skid surface and good visibility at night, wet or dry—features which make concrete, and especially continuously reinforced concrete, a permanent road surfacing material. |

If the current in one coil is steady, what happens to the mutual inductance?(a) Zero(b) Infinity(c) Doubles(d) Halves |
|
Answer» Correct option is (a) Zero The explanation: A current is induced when there is changing magnetic flux. The induced current in neighbouring coil is zero when the current is steady. So, mutual inductance is zero. |
|
| 15. |
What happens to the inductance when the current in the coil becomes double its original value?(a) Becomes half(b) Becomes four times(c) Becomes double(d) Remains same |
|
Answer» Right choice is (d) Remains same To elaborate: ϕ is directly proportional to i. Φ=Li where L is constant of proportionality So, when current get double ϕ also becomes double keeping L same. |

For a four layer flexible pavement, there is a surface course, base course, and ______________ constructed over a compacted, natural soil subgrade.(a) sub-grade course(b) sub-base course(c) base course(d) sub-ballast |
|
Answer» Right answer is (b) sub-base course Explanation: When building a three layer flexible pavement, the subbase layer is not used and the base course is placed directly on the natural subgrade. A flexible pavement’s surface layer is constructed of hot-mix asphalt (HMA).Un stabilized aggregates are typically used for the base course; however, the base course could also be stabilized with asphalt, Foamed Bitumen, Portland cement, or another stabilizing agent. The sub base is generally constructed from local aggregate material, while the top of the subgrade is often stabilized with cement or lime. |
|

A ___________ consists of colourants dissolved and/or suspended in a ‘vehicle’ or solvent.(a) ceramic mixture(b) paint(c) wood stain(d) plaster |
|
Answer» Right choice is (c) wood stain The best I can explain: Vehicle is the preferred term, as the contents of a stain may not be truly ‘dissolved’ in the vehicle, but rather ‘suspended’, and thus the vehicle may not be a true ‘solvent’. The vehicle often may be water, alcohol, a petroleum distillate, or a finishing agent such as shellac, lacquer, varnish and polyurethane. Coloured or ‘stained’ finishes do not typically deeply penetrate the pores of the wood and may largely disappear when the finish deteriorates or is removed. |
|

The most common type of ceiling is the___________ which is suspended from structural elements above.(a) parabolic ceiling(b) curved ceiling(c) dropped ceiling(d) arched ceiling |
|
Answer» The correct option is (c) dropped ceiling Explanation: The most common ceiling that contributes to fire-resistance ratings in commercial and residential construction is the dropped ceiling. In the case of a dropped ceiling, the rating is achieved by the entire system, which is both the structure above, from which the ceilings is suspended, which could be a concrete floor or a timber floor, as well as the suspension mechanism and, finally the lowest membrane or dropped ceiling. Between the structure that the dropped ceiling is suspended from and the dropped membrane, such as a T-bar ceiling or a layer of drywall, there is often some room for mechanical and electrical piping, wiring and ducting to run. |

Which short of instrument is shown below?(a) 3 Geometrical scale(b) Parallel-scale nomogram(c) Thermometer(d) Barometer |
|
Answer» The correct answer is (b) Parallel-scale nomogram Easiest explanation: The field of nomography was invented in 1884 by the French engineer Philbert Maurice d’Ocagne (1862-1938) and used extensively for many years to provide engineers with fast graphical calculations of complicated formulas to a practical precision. Nomograms use a parallel coordinate system invented by d’Ocagne rather than standard Cartesian coordinates. A nomogram consists of a set of n scales, one for each variable in an equation. Knowing the values of n-1 variables, the value of the unknown variable can be found, or by fixing the values of some variables, the relationship between the unfixed ones can be studied. The result is obtained by laying a straightedge across the known values on the scales and reading the unknown value from where it crosses the scale for that variable. The virtual or drawn line created by the straightedge is called an index line or isopleth. |

The figure shown below represents which instrument?(a) Hammer base(b) Knife cutter(c) Hammer striker(d) Anvil |
|
Answer» The correct option is (d) Anvil The explanation is: The primary work surface of the anvil is known as the face. It is generally made of hardened steel and should be flat and smooth with rounded edges for most work. Any marks on the face will be transferred to the work. Also, sharp edges tend to cut into the metal being worked and may cause cracks to form in the workpiece. The face is hardened and tempered to resist the blows of the smith’s hammer, so the anvil face does not deform under repeated use. A hard anvil face also reduces the amount of force lost in each hammer blow. Hammers, tools, and work pieces of hardened steel should never directly strike the anvil face with full force, as they may damage it; this can result in chipping or deforming of the anvil face. |
