MCQ
11361. Plane and geodetic surveying are classification of surveying based on:
Methodology
Earth's curvature
Ojbect of survey
Instrument
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Plane and geodetic surveying based on the considerations and true shape of the earth. Plaue surveying axsumes the earth is flat and geodetic surveying the curvature of the earth.
11362. 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
11363. The bending moment of cantilever beam shown below figure at 'A' is:
Zero
8 T-m
16 T-m
14 T-m
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ The figure is cantilever beam. Cantilever beam supported on one side and other side is free Bending moment will be zero on the supported and will be maximum at free end.
11364. 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.
11365. The type of bond in a brick masonry containing altenate courses of stretcher and headres is called:
Flemish bond
Stretcher bond
English bond
Header bond
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ যে বন্ডের একস্তর স্ট্রেচার এবং অপর স্তর হেডার গাঁথুনি দ্বারা গঠিত হবে, তাকে ইংলিশ বন্ড বলে।
11366. The proportion of lime and sand in the mortar normally used in brick constructions are:
1:2
1:4
1:6
1:8
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ Cao/lime is used for brick bond replacing cement. Here use 1 part lime and 2 part sand.
11367. 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.
11368. 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.
11369. 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.
11370. The moment at a hinge will be:
Infinity
Zero
Depends upon acting force
None of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ The bending moment at ends of simply supported and roller or hinge supported beam is taken zern.
11371. 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.
11372. After pre-stressing process is completed, loss of stress occurs due to-
Shrinkage of concrete
Creep of concrete
Elastic shortening of concrete
All of the above
11373. Standard BOD is measured at:
20°C-1 day
25°C-3 day
20°C -5 day
30°C-5 day
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: BOD-এর সাহায্যে পানিতে অক্সিজেনের মাত্রা কতটুকু আছে তা পরিমাপ করা হয়। BOD-এর পূর্ণরূপ Biochemical Oxyzen Demand। পানির বিশুদ্ধতা পরিমাপ করার জন্য ৫ দিন 20℃ তাপমাত্রা প্রয়োগ করা হয়।
11374. 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.
11375. Which types of forces are generated during earthquake?
