500 m3.
1000 m3
1500 m3
2000 m3
62. If the formation level of a highway has a uniform gradient for a particular length, and the ground is also having a longitudinal slope, the earthwork may be calculated by -
Mid-section formula
Trapezoidal formula
Prismoidal formula
All the above
63. Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:
Lead is the average horizontal straight distance between the borrow pit and the place of spreading soil
The lead is calculated for each block of the excavated area
The unit of lead is 50 m for a distance upto 500 m
The unit of lead is 1 km where the lead exceeds 2 km
67. For the construction of buildings, the subheads of the estimate are
Earthwork, Concrete work, Brick work
Brickwork, Stone work, Roofing
Brickwork Flooring, Wood work, Steel work
All the above
68. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
The estimated value of the work excluding the amount for contingencies, work charged establishment, tool and plants, is called work value
The actual expenditure involved to complete a work including incidental, establishment and travelling charges, is called actual cost
The formal acceptance by the administrative department for incurring an expenditure on the work, is called administrative approval
All the above
69. The rate of payment is made for 100 cu m (per % cu m) in case of
Earth work in excavation
Rock cutting
Excavation in trenches for foundation
All the above
70. In the mid-section formula
The mean depth is the average of depths of two consecutive sections
The area of mid-sections is calculated by using mean depth
The volume of the earth work is calculated by multiplying the mid-section area by the distance between the two original sections
All of the above
71. While estimating the qualities for the construction of a building, the correct metric unit is-
Metre for length
Cubic metre for area
Square metres for volume
Litre for capacity
73. While estimating a reinforced cement structure, the omitted cover of concrete is assumed
At the end of reinforcing bar, not less than 25 mm or twice the diameter of the bar
In thin slabs, 12 mm minimum or diameter of the bar whichever is more
For reinforcing longitudinal bar in a beam 25 mm minimum or diameter of the largest bar which is more
All the above
74. Pick up the correct statement from the following:
In order to check up the average depth of excavation, 'Dead man s' are left at the midwidths of borrow pits
The earthwork calculation in excavation is made from the difference in levels obtained with a level
The earth work in excavation to form the road embankment includes the formation of correct profile and depositing the soil in layers
All the above

76. The assumption on which the trapezoidal formula for volumes is based, is-
The end sections are parallel planes
The mid-area of a pyramid is half the average area of the ends
The volume of the Prismoidal is over-estimated and hence a Prismoidal correction is applied
All the above
77. The main factor to be considered while preparing a detailed estimate, is -
Quantity of the materials materials
Availability of
Transportation of materials
All the above
