GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 13

A town with a population of 10,000 experiences a sewage flow of D.W.F. 25 liters per second, which has an average B.O.D. of 325 mg per liter. Additionally, the sewage includes industrial waste at a rate of 2.5 liters per second, contributing a total B.O.D. of 202 kg per day. What is the per capita B.O.D. load in kg per day?


Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 13

The sewage through a sewer consists of the following two categories:
1. Dry Weather flow (D.W.F.) that is sanitary sewage/ domestic or industrial waste
2. Wet Weather flow (W.W.F.) or Stormwater
Total B.O.D. Load in kg per day = (25 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 325)/ 106 = 702
Total B.O.D. A load of industrial waste in kg per day = 202
Net B.O.D load of population of 10,000 = (702 - 202) = 500 kg per day
B.O.D. load per capita = 500/10000 = 0.05 kg per day.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 14

Nations can fulfill their Kyoto obligations by

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 14

Parties with commitments under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Parties) have accepted targets for limiting or reducing emissions. These targets are expressed as levels of allowed emissions, or assigned amounts, at over the 2008-2012 commitment period. The allowed emissions are divided into assigned amount units (AAUs).
Emissions trading, as set out in Article 17 of the Kyoto Protocol, allows countries that have emission units to spare - emissions permitted them but not "used" - to sell this excess capacity to countries that are over their targets.
Thus, a new commodity was created in the form of emission reductions or removals. Since carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, people speak simply of trading in carbon. Carbon is now tracked and traded like any other commodity. This is known as the "carbon market."

Edge city is a term that originated in the United States for a concentration of business, shopping, and entertainment outside a traditional downtown or central business district, in what had previously been a suburban residential or rural area.

Synekism, is a concept in urban studies coined by Edward Soja. It refers to the dynamic formation of the polis state — the union of several small urban settlements under the rule of a "capital" city (or so- called city-state or urban system). Soja's definition of synekism, mentioned in Writing the city spatially, is "the stimulus of urban agglomeration."

Urbicide means the killing of cities. The concept refers to the premeditated and deliberate destruction of cities, their iconic architecture, and their identity. It can also be referred to as ‘violence against the city’.

Urban sprawl is described as the rapid expansion of the geographic extent of cities and towns, often characterized by low-density residential housing, single-use zoning, and increased reliance on the private automobile for transportation.

A floating floor is a floor that does not need to be nailed or glued to the subfloor. The term floating floor refers to the installation method but is often used synonymously with laminate flooring. Acoustic floating floors control the transmission of sounds and vibration from floor impacts to the surrounding building structure.

Float valves can be used to prevent overfilling or overflow of tanks when the liquid needs to be diverted rather than dumped in a drain.

A Metal Float is a tool with a smooth metallic plain that is applied on flattened layers of mortar and concrete during surface finishing.

Free Float refers to the amount of tune that a task can be delayed without affecting the start date of its subsequent tasks. It is calculated as the difference between the earliest possible start date of the next task and the latest possible finish date of the current task.

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 21

For a circular cross-section featuring an internal diameter of ‘D’ (in m) positioned at a slope ‘S’ – the Hazen-Williams Formula (applicable when the cross-section involves piped flow) is as follows:

V = X1 × C × DX2 × SX3 and Q = X4 × C × DX5 × SX6 

Here, V denotes the velocity of flow (in m/s); C represents the Hazen Williams coefficient (dimensionless); and Q indicates the rate of discharge (in cum/s). Identify the correct statements from the options below.

Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 21

Hazen Williams equation for any cross-section (with slope ‘S’, velocity ‘V’, Rate of flow ‘Q’, Hazen Williams coefficient ‘C’, Hydraulic radius ‘R’) in SI units, is given by:

V = 0.849 × C × R0.63 × S0.54

For circular cross section with internal diameter ‘D’ – hydraulic radius, R (i.e., wet area/wet perimeter) will be:


Substituting R = D/4 in the above equation, we get:

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ V = 0.3545 × C × D0.63 × S0.54

Rate of flow, Q = Area × Velocity, where area of circular cross section is πD2/4

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Q = 0.2784 × C × D2.63 × S0.54

GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 22

The expense for constructing a new building amounts to Rs 10,00,000, while its residual value after 50 years is Rs. 1,00,000. What will be the book value after a duration of 25 years in Rs.?


Detailed Solution for GATE Architecture and Planning Mock Test - 4 (Planning) - Question 22

Annual depreciation = (cost of the building – Scrap value) / years
Annual depreciation = (10, 00,000 – 1, 00,000) / 50
Annual depreciation = (9, 00,000) / 50
Annual depreciation = 18,000
Annual depreciation= 18,000, so after 25 years the value will be depreciated by 25×18000 = 4,50,000 So, the book value= 10,00,000 - 4,50,000 = 5,50,000
