MCQ
3701. In a pre-stressed member, it is advisable to use:
Low strength concrete only
High strength concrete only
Low strength concrete but high tensile steel
High strength concrete and high tensile steel
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ In a pre-stressed member we used to high strength concrete and high tensile steel. High strength concrete to develop greater bond stress in pre-stressed member.
3702. The maximum permissible limit for iron in drinking water is:
0.1 mg/L
2-2.5 mg/L
0.3-1 mg/L.
5 mg/L
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ The present recommended limit for iron in water 0.3- 1 mg/L. It is based on taste and appearance rather than on any deterimental health effect.
3703. Which types of forces are generated during earthquake?
Vertical Shear
Horizontal Shear
Bending moment
Combination of both horizontal & vertical shear
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Earthquake force however possess several characteristic that make them unique in comparison with any other force such as gravity wind and thermal force. Earthquake force are the result of a back and forth, and up and down montior of the ground that supports a structure.
3704. The entrained air in concrete-
increase workability
decrease workability
decrease resistance to weathering
increase strength
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Air entrainent increases the workability of concrete without much increase in water cement ratio.
3705. The transverse reinforcements provided at right angles to the main reinforcements in a slab---
Distributed load
Resist the temperature stress
Resist the shrinkage stress
All of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ The distribution reinforcement have termed as transvers reinforcement is provided that to resist the stresses produced by temperature changes and shrinkage of concrete in that direction.
3706. Identify the correct sentences:
It is raining for two days
it rained for two days
It has been raining for two days
It was raining for two days
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: কোনো sentence-এর মধ্যে for থাকলে এবং অনির্দিষ্ট সময় উল্লেখ থাকলে sentence-টি present perfect continuous tense হয়।
3707. The roof type suitable in plains where rainfall is meagre and temperature is high is:
Pitched and sloping roof
Flat roof
Shell roof
none
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A flat roof is a roof which is almost level in contrast to the many types of sloped roofs. The slope of a roof is properly known as its pitch and flat roofs have up to approximately 10° Flat roof is used to where rainfall is low and temperature is high.
3708. Enlarged head of a supporting column of a flat slab is technically known as:
Supporting end of the column
Top of the column
Capital
Drop panel
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Column capital between the column and the load thrusting down upon it, broadening the area of the column's supporting surface.
3709. The most suitable equipment for compacting clay soil is a:
Smooth wheet roller
Preumatic tyred roller
Sheep foot roller
Vibrator
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Sheep foot roller are used for compacting fine gramed soils such as heavy clays and silty clay. Sheep foot rollers are used for campaction of soil in dams, embankments, subgrade layers in pavements and rail road construction projects.
3711. What type of noun the underlined word is? 'Water has no colour of its own'.
common
proper
abstract
material
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ যে-সকল Noun-এর সংখ্যা গণনা করা যায় না শুধুমাত্র পরিমাপ করা যায় তাদেরকে material noun বলে। যেমন- Water, milk, oil etc.
3712. Machine foundation is subjected to:
Static loads
Wind loads
Dynamic loads
Static and dynamic loads
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা : Machine foundation are subjected to the dynamic lond caused by the machine. Theses dynamic loud are then transferred to the foundation supporting the machine
3713. When a cohesionless soil attains quick condition, it looses:
Shear strength
Bearing capacity
Both (ক) and (খ)
Neither (ক) and (খ)
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Cohesionless soilds are defined as any free running type of soil such as sand, Gravel and stone. Cohesionless soil attains quick condition then it lose it's shear strengh and bearing capacity.
3714. A soil consolidated under the existing over- burden pressure, is called:
Pre-consolidated
Normally consolidated
Over-consolidated
None of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Over-consolidation is a relative term which compare the stress acting on soild in current state, to highest stress experienced by the soil. If the current stress is less than that applied in the past the soil is over consolidated.
3715. In order to improve farming methods, we need-
machine
a machinery
machinery
machineries
