MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 7

The value of Poisson's ratio of concrete is

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 7
The value of Poisson's ratio of concrete is 0.2.

Poisson’s ratio of concrete is the ratio of transverse strain to longitudinal strain in a concrete specimen subjected to axial loads. The longitudinal strain and vertical strain are produced due to concrete volume reduction under compression load. Volume reduction of the concrete specimens is the result of crushing small aggregate sizes due to exerted loads. Poisson’s ratio of concrete is a constant for determining the stress and deflection properties of structures such as beams, plates, and shells

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 8

The economical spacing of trusses varies from -

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 8
For economical spacing of trusses, the cost of trusses should be equal to twice the cost of purlins plus the sot of roof covering,

i,e, t = 2p + r

Where t = cost of trusses

p = cost of purlines

r = cost of roof covering

As a guide, the spacing of the roof trusses can be kept 1/4 of the span for up to 15 m, and 1/5 of span from 15 – 30 m spans of roof trusses.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 9

Quicksand is a-

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 9
Quick Sand condition If the seepage pressure becomes equal to the pressure due to the submerged weight of the soil, then evidently, the effective pressure is reduced to zero. In such a limiting case, the Cohesionless soil loses all its shear strength, and the soil particles will tend to move up in the direction of flow. This phenomenon of the lifting of soil particles is called the quick condition or boiling condition, or quick sand. The hydraulic gradient corresponding to this situation (Just starting) is called critical hydraulic gradient ((ic)) Where,

G= Specific gravity

e= void ratio

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 12

The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is-

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 12

The SI unit of kinematic viscosity is square meters per second (m2/s).
Kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow under gravitational forces. It is determined by measuring the time in seconds required for a fixed volume of fluid to flow a known distance by gravity through a capillary within a calibrated viscometer at a closely controlled temperature.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

If a uniform bar is supported at one end in a vertical direction and loaded at the bottom end by a load equal to the weight of the bar, the strain by a load equal to the weight of the bar, the strain energy as compared to that due to self-weight will be-

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 14
Strain energy (U)(=½(WΔ))

Now, axil deformation due to load W is given by (Δ1=WL/AE)axial deformation due to self-weight W is given by (Δ2=WL/2AE)

(NowΔ1=2Δ2)(and U∞Δ)

Hence strain energy due to load W is given by (U1=(1/2)WΔ1)

(U1=2U2)

Hence strain energy as compared to that due to self-weight will be double.

Hence the option C is correct.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 18

Determine the coefficient of permeability of a confined aquifer 6m thick which gives a steady discharge of 20 liters/sec through a well of 0.5 m radius. The height of water in the well, which was 12 m above the base before pumping, dropped to 8 m. Take the radius of influence as 300 m.

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 18
discharge q = 20 liters/sec

radius of influence R = 300 m

thick b = 6m

radius r = 0.5 m

confined aquifer

k = 0.0345 m/sec

Hence the correct answer is option A.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 19

The maximum numerical value of Poisson’s ratio is

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 19
The Poisson's ratio of a stable, isotropic, linear elastic material must be between −1.0 and +0.5 because of the requirement for Young's modulus, the shear modulus, and bulk modulus to have positive values. Most materials have Poisson's ratio values ranging between 0.0 and 0.5.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 20

coefficient of permeability is directly proportional to the-

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 28
It was studied by Allen Hazen that the coefficient of permeability (k) of soil is directly proportional to the square of the particle size (D). Thus permeability of coarse-grained soil is very large as compared to that of fine-grained soil.

While designing combined footing, the resultant of the column loads passes, through the center of gravity of the footing slab such that the net soil pressure obtained is-

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 29
It is desirable to design combined footing so that the centroid of the footing area coincides with the resultant of the two-column loads. This produces uniform bearing pressure over the entire area and forestalls a tendency for the footing to tilt.

Hence, the correct option is (C)

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 30

The main objective of compaction of concrete is:

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 6 - Question 30
Compaction of concrete is the process adopted for expelling the entrapped air as far as possible from the concrete to achieve the highest possible density of the compacted mass.
  • Compaction improves the fluidity of concrete and with the reduction of internal friction, packing of coarse aggregates take place

  • A well-compacted concrete is free of the loose pockets and air bubbles of entrapped air

  • The main purpose of compaction of concrete is to get a dense mass without voids, to get the concrete to surround all reinforcement, and to fill all corners i.e. to provide intimate contact between the concrete and embedded materials
