Wrought Iron Contains Carbon Upto :

A. 0.15%
B. 1%
C. 1.5%
D. 2%

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 13 - Question 102 Wrought iron, one of the two forms in which iron is obtained by smelting; the other is cast iron. Wrought iron is a soft, ductile, fibrous variety that is produced from a semi-fused mass of relatively pure iron globules partially surrounded by slag. It usually contains less than 0.1 percent carbon and 1 or 2 percent slag. It is superior for most purposes to cast iron, which is overly hard and brittle owing to its high carbon content. Dating back to antiquity, the first iron was smelted directly from iron ore by heating the latter in a forge with charcoal, which served both as a fuel and a reducing agent. While still hot, the reduced iron and slag mixture was then removed as a lump and worked (wrought) with a hammer to expel most of the slag and weld the iron into a coherent mass.

The plasticity index is the numerical difference between

A. Liquid limit and plastic limit
B. Plastic limit and shrinkage limit
C. Liquid limit and shrinkage limit
D. None of these

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 13 - Question 124 It is the numerical difference between the liquid limit and the plastic limit of a soil and indicates the magnitude of the range of the moisture contents over which the soil is in a plastic condition as defined by the tests. The liquid and plastic limits are both dependent on the amount and type of clay in a soil, but the plasticity index is generally only dependent on the amount of clay present. It indicates the fineness of the soil and its characteristics as regards plasticity and cohesiveness, i.e., its power to change shape without altering its volume. The information regarding the type of clay in the soil may be obtained by considering the PI in relation to the LL. A high value of PI indicates excess of clay or colloids.

What is the used of the Aeration and destination of water treatment process,

A. Removal of taste odour and silt
B. Removal of hardness and pathogenic bacteria
C. Removal silt and hardness
D. None of these

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 13 - Question 138 Although removal of free carbon dioxide increases the pH of the water and renders it less corrosive from this standpoint, aeration also results in the saturation of water with dissolved oxygen. This does not generally present a problem when original oxygen content is already high. However, in the case of a well water supply that is high in carbon dioxide but devoid of oxygen, aeration simply exchanges one corrosive gas for another.

What means the 'dry rot' in trees?

A. Conversion of wood into dry power form
B. Growth of branch
C. Conversion of wood brown colour
D. Krot in Branch

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 13 - Question 141 Dry rot only spreads when moisture is present. Once the wood dries, the fungus stops growing. The problem is that the new wood inhabited by the dormant fungus has been altered in a way that makes it better at absorbing water. The next time it rains, this wood absorbs an even larger amount of water and the fungus starts to grow yet again. This is an ingenious survival strategy on the fungi's part, but it makes treating dry rot difficult.

Standard loads are given in ?

A.
IS=875
B.
IS-800
C.
IS-2000
D.
IS-500

Detailed Solution for Mock Test: SSC JE Civil Engineering (CE)- 13 - Question 159

Standard loads are given in IS=875.

Structural loads or actions are forces, deformations, or accelerations applied to structure components. Loads cause stresses, deformations, and displacements in structures. Assessment of their effects is carried out by the methods of structural analysis. Excess load or overloading may cause structural failure, and hence such possibility should be either considered in the design or strictly controlled. Mechanical structures, such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines, have their own particular structural loads and actions. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection.
