Q. Daytime temperatures in Delhi can_________40°C. (A) get (B) stand (C) reach (D) peak Ans: reach
Q. A square footing of 4 m side is placed at 1 m depth in a sand deposit. The dry unit weight (g) of sand is 15 kN/m3. This footing has an ultimate bearing capacity of 600 kPa. Consider the depth factors: dq = dg = 1.0 and the bearing capacity factor: Ng = 18.75. This footing
Q. A 3 m × 3 m square precast reinforced concrete segments to be installed by pushing them through an existing railway embankment for making an underpass as shown in the figure. A reaction arrangement using precast PCC blocks placed on the ground is to be made for the jacks. At each stage, the jacks
Q. A granular soil has a saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m3 and an effective angle of shearing resistance of 30°. The unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m3. A slope is to be made on this soil deposit in which the seepage occurs parallel to the slope up to the free surface. Under this
Q. A reinforced concrete circular pile of 12 m length and 0.6 m diameter is embedded in stiff clay which has an undrained unit cohesion of 110 kN/m2. The adhesion factor is 0.5. The Net Ultimate Pullout (uplift) Load for the pile (in kN, round off to 1 decimal place) is Solution: Pull out
Q. Consider a laminar flow in the x-direction between two infinite parallel plates (Couette flow). The lower plate is stationary and the upper plate is moving with a velocity of 1 cm/s in the x-direction. The distance between the plates is 5 mm and the dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 0.01 N-s/m2. If the
Q. Two water reservoirs are connected by a siphon (running full) of total length 5000 m and diameter of 0.10 m, as shown below (figure not drawn to scale). The inlet leg length of the siphon to its summit is 2000 m. The difference in the water surface levels of the two reservoirs is 5
Q. The hyetograph of a storm event of duration 140 minutes is shown in the figure. The infiltration capacity at the start of this event (t = 0) is 17 mm/hour, which linearly decreases to 10 mm/hour after 40 minutes duration. As the event progresses, the infiltration rate further drops down linearly to attain a
