Q1. Consider the following statements in the context of geometric design of roads.
I : A simple parabolic curve is an acceptable shape for summit curves
II : Comfort to passengers is an important consideration in the design of
summit curves.
The correct otption evaluating the above statements and their relationship is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q2. A reinforced concrete (RC) beam with width of 250 mm and effective depth of 400
mm is reinforced with Fe415 steel. As per the provisions of IS 456-2000, the minimum
and maximum amount of tensile reinforcement (expressed in mm2) for the section are,
respectively
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Width of beam (b) = 250mm 
Effective depth (d) =400 mm
As per IS-456:200
From clause 26.5.1.1 (a)
Minimum tension reinforcement
From clause 26.5.1.2(b)
Maximum tension reinforcement = 0.04bd = 0.04 × 250 × 400 = 4000mm2
Q3. The velocity components of a two dimensional plane motion of a fluid are
The correct statement is:
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Q4. Square roots of − i, where i = √-1, are
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q5. Group I enlists in-situ field tests carried out for soil exploration, while Group II provides a list
of parameters for sub-soil strength characterization. Match the type of tests with the
characterization parameters
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q6. As per IS 800: 2007 the cross-section in which extreme fibre can reach the yield
stress but cannot develop the plastic moment of resistance due to local buckling
is classified as
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
As per clause 3.7.2 of IS 800:2007
Q7. In compacted cylindrical bituminous mix, VMA = 15%(void mineral aggregate); Vv = 4.5% (air void) The magnitude of VFB (void filled bituminous) is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
VFB = VB/Vv = ((15-4.5)/15)×100% = 70%
Q8. The design speed for a two-lane road is 80 km/h . When a design vehicle with a
wheelbase of 6.6 m is negotiating a borizontal curve on that road, the off-tracking
is measured as 0.096 m. The required widening of carriageway of the two-lane
road on the curve is approximately
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
