20. (a) Flow duration curve of a stream is a plotof discharge against percentage of timethe flow was equalled or exceeded.A flow duration curve based on daily flowdata will be steeper than a curve basedon monthly flow data because the largerinterval data will smoothen out thevariations in shorter interval data.
21. (d) Under-reamed pile is a special type ofbored pile which is provided with a bulb/pedestal at the end. The usual size of suchpiles are 150 to 200 mm shaft diameter,3 to 4m long. Its bulb diameter is 2 to 3times the shaft diameter.
22. (a) The rails are to be connected at their ends.This is achieved by means of a pair offish plates per tail. The holes are drilledthrough the plates and the web of railsand then the fish bolts and nuts areprovided in these holes. when the boltsand nuts are tightened up, the rails arejoined together and a continuous track isformed.

33. (b) The beam is designed as a balancesection.
So, N.A 0.48 d
= 0.48 × 450 = 216 mm
Df = 100 mm
f7 D3 =
7 1003
= 233.33 mm > 216 mm
So the flange depth will be stressed withboth rectangular and parabolic portion ofstress block.
So modified Df = yf
= 0.15 x4 + 0.65 DF
= 0.15×216 + 0.65×100
= 97.4 mm
34. (c) The modification factor to ld ratio
decrease with increase in tensilereinforcement and grade of steel.
The permissible ld ratio is decrease and
it is a indicator of increased deflection.
Higher grade and higher tensilereinforcement are indicator of higherstresses and higher loads which giveshigher deflection.
35. (a) Minimum bar dia for Fe415 in slab = 8mm

125. (a) Arches generally transfer loads mainly byaxial copression. The axial compressionis highest near supports. So an arch shouldbe made thickest at support and thinnestat crown.
127.(d) Cable will take only axial tension so ifloading is in upward direction then cablewill not carry any load and structure willbe determinate.
But due to gravity loads cable will alwayscarry tension and structure wil l beindeterminate to 1 degree.
So for gravity load structure can not bedetermiante.
128.(b) If the end point of traverse does notconcide exactly with the starting pointowing to the errors in the f ieldmeasurements of angles and distances,such error is known as closing error.This error is distributed to all stationsproportionally by shifting the station parallelto the direction of closing error.

136. (a) Due to less requirement of mortor, thinmortor in brickwork renders it more durablethan stonework.
137. (d) Excess lime will make cement unsound.
Higher Ca(OH)2 is not desirable as it is solublein water & gets leached out making concreteporous.
138. (d) Limiting values of slenderness ratio forcolumn (=12) is less than that of walls(=27). Reason is correct.
139. (c) There is vey little tendency to allow waterand swell due to strong hydrogen bond.

147. (c) Once formed, lake stratification is verystable and can be broken by voilent stormsonly. As the summer progresses, thisstability increases as the epilimnioncontinues to worm while the hypolimnionremains at a fairly constant temperature.
148. (a) If the sewage is disposed on land, someof it evaporates but some of it percolatesinto the soil. If the soil is parous, thesewage may easily percolate and theconditions inside the soil still remainsaerobic while in the case of sticky andfine grained soil, the sewage percolatingmay clog the pores, thereby cutting of theair and hence anaerobic conditions maydevelope which may lead to evolution offoul gases and smell.
149. (b) The main idea of providing screens is toprotect the pump and other equipmentsfrom possible damage due to floatingmatter of sewege. These floating matter ifnot removed, will choke pumps.Screens should preferably be placedbefore grit chambers. However if thequality of ‘grit’ is not very important screensmay even be placed after grit chambers.They may sometimes be accomodated inthe body of grit chamber itself.

Streamlines are a family of curves that areinstantaneously tangent to the velocityvector of the flow. These show the directiona fluid element will travel at any point oftime. By definition, different streamlines atthe same instant in a flow do not interesect,because a fluid particle cannot have twodifferent velocities at the same point.
153. (c)Total strength of the web is made of webstrength before the buckling and postbuckling strength developed due to tensionfield action. Thus the provision of suitablyspaced sti ffeners called intermediatestiffness can be used to develope tensionfield action and improve shear capacities ofthe web. The main purpose of these stiffnessis to provide stiffners to the web which resistthe applied loads.

156. (a) A single-peaked hydrograph, consists of(i) a rising limb, (ii) the crest segment,and (iii) the recession or failling limb. Therising limb (or concentration curve) of ahydrograph represents continuous increasein discharge (or runoff) at the watershedoutlet. During the initial periods of thestorm, the increase in runoff is rathergradual as the falling precipitation has tomeet the initial losses in the form of highinfiltration, depression storage and gradualbuilding up of storage in channels and overthe waershed surface.
As the storm continues, losses decreasewith time and more and more rainfallexcess from distant parts of the watershedreaches the watershed outlet. The runoff,then, increases rapidly with time. Whenthe runoff from all parts of the watershedreaches the watershed outlet.simultaneously, the runoff attains the peak(i.e., maximum) value. This peak flow isrepresented by the crest segment of thehydrograph. The recession limb of thehydrograph starts at the point of inflection(i.e., the end of the crest segment) andcontinues till the commencement of thenatural ground water flow.
157. (a)
158. (d) Elements may be rotations or deflectionsso all elements would not have same units
159. (d) The ductility calls for lower grade of steelas it has clearly defined and longer yieldplateau and hence, plastic higher formedwill have larger rotation capacities leadingto greater energy dissipation.
160. (b) Ductile materials are weak in shear so wecan apply max distortion energy theory.
