9948. Disinfection of water results in-
Removal of turbidity
Removal of hardness
Killing of disease bacteria
Removal of taste
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Water disinfection means the removal, deactivation or killing of pathogenic microorganisms.
9949. Dead load comprise of:
Permanently attached loads
Temporarily attached loads
Permanent as well as temporary loads
All the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Dead load comprise of permanently attached loads. Dead loads are the loads that will go no where in the structure and they are most important when designing slabs and beams. Dead load consists of own weight of the element and the weight of the floor finishing
9950. The moment at a hinge will be:

Depends upon acting force
None of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ The bending moment at ends of simpls supported and roller or hinge supported beam is taken zero,
9951. The arrangement made to support an unsafe structure temporarily as:
Shoring
Scaffolding
Underpinning
Jacking
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Shoring is the process of temporarily supporting a building, structure or trench with shores when in danger of during repairs. Shoring comes from shore, a timber or metal. Shoring may be vertical angled or horizontal.
9952. The bending moment of cantilever beam shown below figure at 'A' is:

1:6
1:4
1:8
9954. Penetration test on bitumen is used to determine its:
Grade
Viscosity
Ductility
All of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Bitumen penetration test is a basic test for determining the grades of bitumen. Penetration test is used for evaluating consistency of bitumen.
9955. Uniformity coefficieny of a soil is:
equal to or greater than 1
equal to 1
equal to or less than 1
none of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ The uniformity coefficient (cu) is defined as the ratio of Due to Dio A value of cu greater than 4 to 6 classific the soil as well graded. When cu is less than 4, it is classified as poorly graded or uniformly graded soil. Uniformly graded soil has identical particles with cu value approximately equal to 1.

Density of liquid
Specific gravity of liquid
Compressibility of liquid
Surface tension of liquid
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা The specific griaunity of an object is the ratio between the density of an object to a reference liquid. Usually our reference liquid in water, which has a density of Ig/ml.

None of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: 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.
