QUESTIONS & SOLUTIONS WITH EXPLANATIONS

QUESTION 4: A column base is subjected to combined action of axial load and moment. If the intensity of bearing pressure due to axial load is equal to maximum pressure generated due to moment, then the total bearing pressure between the column base and concrete is

(a) Uniform compression throughout
(b) Zero at one end and compression at other end
(c) Tension at one end and compression at other end
(d) Uniform tension throughout

Answer - B

When intensity of bearing pressure due to axial load = intensity of bearing pressure due to moment.
Zero at one end & compression at other end.

QUESTION 7: An egg shaped section of sewer

(a) Is economical than circular section
(b) Provides self-cleansing velocity
(c) Is more stable than circular
(d) Is easy to construct

Answer - B

For combined a system, egg shaped sewers (also called sewer) are more suitable.Their principal advantage is the slightly higher velocity for low flows over circular sewer of equal of capacity.
For adequate gradient, it provide self cleansing velocity.


QUESTION 8: Suitable layout of distribution system for a city with road of rectangular pattern

(a) Grid iron system
(b) Ring system
(c) Radial system
(d) Dead end system

Answer - A

Since water supply pipes and sewers are installed along the roads hence for a road of rectangular pattern, grid iron system will be suitable.


QUESTION 13: Which of the following devices are usually used in measuring pipe flow?

(a) Mouthpiece
(b) Cipolletti weir
(c) Pitot tube
(d) Venturimeter

Answer - D

Venturimeters are most popular instrument for discharge measurement in case of pipe flows.

• Pitot tube = Used for measuring flow velocity.
• Mouthpiece = Discharge measurement in notches & weirs.

QUESTION 14: The most desirable location for the surge tank is

(a) Immediately upstream of the turbine
(b) Immediately upstream of the tail water
(c) Immediately downstream of the reservoir
(d) Immediately upstream of the reservoir

Answer - A

A surge tank is a small tank or reservoir, which is used for controlling pressure in conduit, i.e. maintaining the rate of flow in penstock. It is provided upstream to turbine and prevents bursting of penstock.
