Test: Docks, Harbours & Tunnel Engineering - 1 - Question 4

In "full face" method of constructing tunnel, the first operation relates to

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Excavation of small sized heading (drift) is done centrally at top or bottom of the face in the drift method.
In heading and benching method the top portion is driven in advance of the bottom portion, in full face method the whole section is excavated once for all, It is suitable for tunnels of small cross- sections area say up to 3 m diameter.

Test: Docks, Harbours & Tunnel Engineering - 1 - Question 5

Which one of the following is considered to be an advantage of the heading and benching method of tunnel construction?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Heading and benching method is used when the tunnel section is very large and quality of rock is not very satisfactory i.e., the rock is unstable. In self supporting rocks, the top heading advance are round ahead of the bottom heading. In unstable (broken or non self supporting rocks), the bench provides platform for timber Supports to the heading.

Test: Docks, Harbours & Tunnel Engineering - 1 - Question 6

Consider the following statements in regard to Beaufort scale for wind speeds.
1. The Beaufort number ranges from 1 to 12
2. Higher Beaufort number indicates higher speed of wind
3. Beaufort number for calm is smalls and for hurricane is highest

Which of these statements are correct?

Detailed Solution: Question 6

The Beaufort number ranges from 0 to 12. The Beaufort number for calm is 0 with 1.6 km/hr velocity and for hurricane, the Beaufort number is 12 with velocity greater than 120 km/hr.
