Question 1

Pick the correct statements

1) Calcium chloride addition in concrete proves more effective in slow hardening cement than in rapid hardening cement.

2) Calcium chloride acts as an effective accelerator thereby increasing rate of reaction.

Question 2

An engine was tested at local atmospheric pressure of 73 cm of mercury and local temperature of 10⁰ C, and was found to develop X₁ units of power. If it was later worked at conditions of 75 cm of mercury as local atmospheric pressure and at local temperature of 16⁰ C, what proportion of X₁ will it then develop?

Question 3

A simply supported rectangular concrete beam of span 6 m and c/s 200 mm × 250 mm is to be prestressed with a force of 1200 kN The tendon is of parabolic shape having zero eccentricity at the supports. Beam carries an external UDL of intercity 24 kN/m. The maximum dip of the tendon at the mid span to balance the external load should be

(neglect self weight of the beam)

Question 4

Consider the following statements regarding pyrolysis:
1) It is an irreversible chemical change brought about by the action of heat in oxygen-free atmosphere.
2) Range of temperature is 500 °C to 1000 °C
3) Internal heating causes organic matter to decompose physically and chemically rather than burn.
4) It is a highly exothermic process.
Which of the above statements are correct?

Question 5

What is the theoretical depth to which the clay can be excavated without side collapse?

Question 7

Statement (I): Soil compacted wet of optimum shows more shrinkage than that compacted dry of optimum.

Statement (II): The soil compacted on wet side has more orderly orientation of particles which allows them to pack more efficiency.

Question 8

Consider following statements:

1) Crop period is more than base period for any crop.

2) Delta (Δ) for sugar crane is more than wheat.

3) Duty of water at head of the distributary is more than at head of the water course.

4) Consumptive irrigation requirement (CIR) is less than Net irrigation requirement (NIR) for any crop.
