ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 7 - Question 8

Most economical circular section is designed for

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Most economical section gives maximum discharge for a given amount of excavation and the discharge is maximum velocity is maximum, the area of cross section remaining constant. And for a given slope and roughness coefficient the velocity is maximum when the hydraulic radius (area / perimeter) must be maximum. For it to be maximum the perimeter should be minimum.

But for conduits the condition of the area remaining constant does not hold good since both the wetted perimeter and the wetted area changes with depth of flow, so for most economical section in case of open channel flow in circular conduits is designed for Maximum mean velocity and Maximum flow rate

Hence option (A) is correct

ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 7 - Question 18

The carbonate and non-carbonate hardness of water respectively (in mg/l as CaCO3) having a total alkalinity of 200 mg/l as CaCO3 and 140mg/l of Ca2+ and 80mg/l of Mg2+ as ions can be the following:

Detailed Solution: Question 18

= 350 + 333.33
= 683.33 mg/l as CaCO₃
Carbonate hardness = Lesser of total hardness or alkalinity
= Lesser of (200 mg/l, 683.33 mg/l)
= 200 mg/l
So, non-carbonate hardness = 683.33 - 200
= 483.33 mg/l

ESE (CE) Paper II Mock Test - 7 - Question 27

What is the design load for collapse condition for given loads: Dead load = 120 kN/m, Live load = 200 kN/m, Wind load = 25 kN/m ?

Detailed Solution: Question 27

Design load for collapse :

(i) 1.5 DL + 1.5 LL = 1.5 × 120 + 1.5 × 200 = 480 kN/m

(ii) 1.5 DL + 1.5 WL = 1.5 × 120 + 1.5 × 25 = 217.5 kN/m

(iii) 1.20 DL + 1.2 LL + 1.2 EL = 1.2 × 120 + 1.2 × 200 + 1.2 × 25 = 414 kN/m

So maximum of these three values will be the design load for collapse condition i.e. 480 kN/m.
