APSC AE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 8 - Civil Engineering (CE) MCQ

Hence the correct answer is option D.

hence the correct answer is option A.

And nominal brick size = modular brick +mortar =20×10×10 cm.

Plane surveying: Mean surface of earth is considered as plane.
Geodetic surveying: Curvature of the earth is taken into account.

Cohesionless soils are defined as any free-running type of soil, such as sand or gravel, whose strength depends on friction between particles (measured by the friction angle, Ø).

(M/I=σ_b/Y=E/R)

Hence the option A is correct.

Hence the correct answer is option d.

It is made by thermal decomposition of calcium-rich materials like seashells, limestone, etc.

By heating these materials in the process called calcination or lime burning, quick lime is obtained.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Pore pressure

Effective stress

If the water table rises above the ground level, the total stress and neutral stress will increase by the same magnitude, but effective stress remains unchanged.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

= 2 x 1.5 (0.4-0.2)

= 3 x 0.2

= 0.6 m

= 600 mm

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Concept:

Stream line is an imaginary curve drawn through a flowing fluid in such a way so that the tangents to it at any point gives the direction of the instantaneous velocity of flow at that point.
Equipotential lines are formed by joining the different points having the same value of velocity potential function.

Properties: 

Slope of equipotential Line × Slope of stream function = -1
i.e. streamlines and equipotential lines always meet orthogonally.
Meshes formed by them may be in square, rectangular or curvilinear.

a) the first sight taken on changing point is foresight, not back sight.

b) the second sight on any changing point is back sight, not foresight.

c) line commences with a backsight and ends with a foresight.

Before shifting the instrument, the last sight is foresight which is taken on change point. After shifting the instrument, the first sight taken is taken on the same change point, i.e., back sight.

Hence, the correct option is (D)

Hence, the correct option is (B)

Hence, the correct option is (A)

1. The agreement consists of an offer and an acceptance of an offer.

2. Something must be bargained for in exchange for a promise.

3. All parties must have the legal ability and capacity to be held to a contract.

4. Both parties must agree to the terms of the contract.

5. Subject of bartering must be legal.

6. The contract must be written out to be adequately enforced in a court of law.

Submerged pipe outlet is a non-modular type of outlet so the discharge depends upon the water level in both the minor and well chamber.

Thus discharge through outlet can be increased by increasing H_L or by increasing the depth of water in the minor. If there is any drop in the water level in the minor, the H_L and discharge will decrease.

The other common examples of this type of outlet are

a) Open Sluice

b) Drowned pipe outlet

Heavyweight concrete uses heavy natural aggregates such as barites or magnetite or manufactured aggregates such as iron or lead shot.

Volcanic Scoria is a lightweight aggregate that may be used in interior slabs to reduce weight.

The vertical deflection limits may be assumed to be satisfied provided that the span to effective depth ratio should not exceed the basic values tabulated below, for span less than or equal to 10 m.
