Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. Seepage is occurring through a porous media shown in the figure. The hydraulic conductivity values (k1, k2, k3) are in m/day.

The seepage discharge (m3 /day per m) through the porous media at section PQ is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Flow is normal to bedding flame 


Q3. In the consolidated undrained triaxial test on a saturated soil sample, the pore water pressure is zero
Answer : Option B

No Explaination.


Q4. The staff reading taken on a workshop floor using a level is 0.645 m. The inverted staff reading taken to the bottom of a beam is 2.960 m. The reduced level of the floor is 40.500 m. The reduced level (expressed in m) of the bottom of the beam is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

RL of bottom of beam = 40.5+2.96+0.645 = 44.105m

Q5. A 4 m wide rectangular channel, having bed slope of 0.001 carries a discharge of 16 m3 /s. Considering Manning's roughness coefficient = 0.012 and g = 10 m/s2 , the category of the channel slope is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Given discharge (Q) = 16 m3 / sec.
Bed slope (S) = 0.001 
Manning‟s roughness coefficients (n) =0.012
g= 10m/s2 
Width (B) =4m 
Channel is wide rectangular 
Area (A) = B. y 
Perimeter (P) =B 
Hydraulic Radius (R) = A/P = By/B = y


Q6. A two lane, one-way road with radius of 50 m is predominantly carrying lorries with wheelbase of 5 m. The speed of lorries is restricted to be between 60 kmph and 80 kmph. The mechanical widening and psychological widening required at 60 kmph are designated as wme,80 and wps,80, respectively. The mechanical widening and psychological widening required at 80 kmph are designated as and wme,80 and wps,80, respectively. The correct values of wme,60wps,60 respectively are
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:



Q7. A fine grained soil is found to be plastic in the water content range of 26-48%. As per Indian Standard Classification System, the soil is classified as
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Soil is plastic in range of 26% to 48%. So, plastic limit =26%, liquid limit = 48% Since 35%
