strengthening steel member externally for reducing strain experienced

Ques 18 Civil

A single story building model is shown in the figure. The rigid bar of mass 'm' is supported by three massless elastic columns whose ends are fixed against rotation. For each of the columns, the applied lateral force (P) and corresponding moment (M) are also shown in the figure. The lateral deflection (δ) of the bar is given by δ = PL3 / 12EI, where L is the effective length of the column, E is the Young's modulus of elasticity and I is the area moment of inertia of the column cross-section with respect to its neutral axis. For the lateral deflection profile of the columns as shown in the figure, the natural frequency of the system for horizontal oscillation is

A

6√(EI / mL3) rad/s

B

(1/L)√(2EI / m) rad/s

C

2√(6EI / mL3) rad/s

D

(2/L)√(EI / m) rad/s



Ques 19 Civil

A

increase strength and durability

B

smoothen timber surfaces

C

remove knots from timber logs

D

cut timber in right season and geometry



Ques 20 Civil

In case of bids in Two-Envelop System, the correct option is

A

Technical bid is opened first

B

Financial bid is opened first

C

Both (Technical and Financial) bids are opened simultaneously

D

Either of the two (Technical and Financial) bids can be opened first



Ques 21 Civil

A

consolidated drained test

B

unconsolidated undrained test

C

consolidated undrained test

D

unconfined compression test

vf/ 4

C

vf / 2

D

vf



Ques 25 Civil

Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion [a] and the Reason [r].
Assertion [a]: One of the best ways to reduce the amount of solid wastes is to reduce the consumption of raw materials.
Reason [r]: Solid wastes are seldom generated when raw materials are converted to goods for consumption.

A

Both [a] and [r] are true and [r] is the correct reason for [a]

B

Both [a] and [r] are true but [r] is not the correct reason for [a]

C

Both [a] and [r] are false

D

[a] is true but [r] is false



Ques 26 Civil

The hardness of a water sample is measured directly by titration with 0.01 M solution of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) using eriochrome black T (EBT) as an indicator. The EBT reacts and forms complexes with divalent metallic cations present in the water. During titration, the EDTA replaces the EBT in the complex. When the replacement of EBT is complete at the end point of the titration, the colour of the solution changes from

A

blue-green to reddish brown

B

blue to colourless

C

reddish brown to pinkish yellow

D

wine red to blue
