Q1. Two beams PQ (fixed at P and with a roller support at Q, as shown in Figure I, which
allows vertical movement) and XZ (with a hinge at Y) are shown in the Figures I and II
respectively. The spans of PQ and XZ are L and 2L respectively. Both the beams are
under the action of uniformly distributed load (W) and have the same flexural stiffness,
EI (where, E and I respectively denote modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia
about axis of bending). Let the maximum deflection and maximum rotation be δmax1 and θmax1, respectively, in the case of beam PQ and the corresponding quantities
for the beam XZ be δmax2 and θmax2, respectively.

Q3. A 6 m high retaining wall having a smooth vertical back face retains a layered horizontal backfill.
Top 3 m thick layer of the backfill is sand having an angle of internal friction, φ = 30° while the
bottom layer is 3 m thick clay with cohesion, c = 20 kPa. Assume unit weight for both sand and
clay as 18 kN/m3. The totalactive earth pressure per unit length of the wall (in kN/m) is:
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.

Q5. The survey carried out to delineate natural features, such as hills, rivers, forests and manmade
features, such as towns, villages, buildings, roads, transmission lines and canals is
classified as
Answer : Option D

Topographic survey is carried out to delineate natural features.
Q6. For two major-roads with divided carriage way crossing at right angle, a full
clover leaf interchange with four indirect ramps is provided. Following statements
are made on turning movement of vehicles to all direction from both roads.
Identity the correct statement
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q7. Match the given water properties in Group-I to the given titrants shown in
Group-II
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q8. A plane truss with applied loads is shown
in the figure.
The members which do not carry any force are
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Conditions for zero force members are
(i) The member meets at a joint and they are non-collinear and no external force acts at that joint. Both the members will be the zero force members.
(ii) When the members meet at joint and two are collinear and no external force acts at the joint then third member will be zero force member.
According to the above statements
We can say that FT, TG, HU, MP and PL members are zero force members.
Q9. The relationship between porosity (η), specific yield (Sy) and specific retention (Sr) of an
unconfined aquifer is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
