1. (d)1. Creep increases when
(a) Cement content is high
(b) w/c ratio is high
(c) Aggregate content is low
(d) Air entrainment is high
(e) Relative humidity is low
(f) Temperature is high
(g) Size is small
(h) loading occurs at early stage.
2. Unlike creep, shrinkage strains areindependent of the stress conditions of theconcrete.
3. Chemical shrinkage induces internal voidsand autogenous shrinkage results inelement shortening.
4. In limit state method of design, two factorof safety are used, one to account foruncertainity in load and other to accountfor uncertainity in material.
2. (c)1. It has been seen that the compressive (as
well as tensile) strength of concrete isreduced by the presence of shear stress.Also shear strength of concrete isenchanced by the application of directcompression (except extreme case of veryhigh compression), whereas it is(expectedly) reduced by the application ofdirect tension.
2. The code limits the maximum value of fyto 415, as higher strength reinforcementsmay be rendered brittle at the sharp bendsof the web reinforcement, also a shearcompression failure could precede theyielding of the high strength steel.
3. (b)Beam is subjected to torque = 15 kN-m,
and shear force (factored) = 140 kN.
Calculating equivalent shear force

= 200.188
= 200.19 kN
200 kN
4. (d)1. Chemical Adhesion: Due to property in
the products of hydration (formed duringthe making of concrete)
2. Frictional resistance: Due to the surfaceroughness of the reinforcement and thegrip exerted by the shrinkage of concrete.
3. Mechanical interlocking : Due to surfaceprotrusions or ‘ribs’ oriented transverselyto the bar axis provided in deformed bar.

6. (a)Primary (or equilibrium) torsion is associatedwith twisting moment that are developed in astructural member to maintain static equilibriumwith the external load directly applied onmember, and are independent of the torsionalstiffness of the member.
Secondary (or compatibility) torsion is inducedin a member as a secondary effect, by rotation(twist) applied at one or more points along thelength of the member through interconnectedmembers, rather than by directly applied loadon it.

Hoyer system is generally used for massproduction (like Railways sleeper, poles, etc).The end abutment are kept sufficient distanceapart, and several members are casted in asingle line. The shuttering is provided at thesides and between the member.
When the level of prestressing is such thatthe tensile stress under service load is withinthe cracking stress of concrete, it is calledlimited prestressing.

50 cm = tsubbase + tbase + twearing course
CBR of subbase = 20% and thickness = 20cm
20 cm = tbase + twearing course
twearing course = 5 cm
So tbase = 20 - 5 = 15 cm
tsubbase = 50 – 15 – 5 = 30 cm

82. (d)When water from higher level is supplied tolower level, by the action of gravity then it iscalled Flow Irrigation.
If the water is lifted up by some mechanical ormanual methods and then supplied for irrigation,it is called lift irrigation.
Natural sub irrigation is caused by leakage ofwater flowing in channels.
Artificial sub irrigation is very costly. Hence isemployed only for cash crops of high value.

88. (d)The philosophy for controlling water hammerin pipes is
(i) to minimize the length of the returningwater column causing water hammer.
(ii) to dissipate energy of the water columnlength by air cushion valve.
(iii) to provide a quick opening pressure reliefvalue to relieve any rise in pressure incritical zones.
These objective are achieved by the followingthree values
1. Zero velocity valve

90. (a)Reaction of chlorine with natural organics suchas fulvic and humic acids produce undesirabledisinfection by-products (DBPs) such astrihalomethanes (THM), the most predominantof which are chloroform andbromachloromethane. These THMs aresuspected carcinogens. Minute quantities ofphenolic compounds react with chlorine tocreate DBPs with severe taste and odour. Toprevent the formation of DBPs, the organics inthe raw water must be removed beforedisinfection or if formed, through the use ofactivated carbon adsorption. The other way isto prevent the formation by avoiding the use ofchlorine and substituting chloramines as thedisinfectant.
