1. As much as possible a bridge crossing should be ------------------- to reach of the river

a. Straight
b. Curved
c. Skewed and curved
d. Skew
A straight bridge crossing helps to minimize the length of the bridge and provide a more direct
and stable path across the river. Straight bridges are generally more cost-effective and easier to
construct compared to curved or skewed bridges. Additionally, a straight bridge can offer better
visibility and safety for drivers or pedestrians crossing the river.
2. Which painting type NOT used in buildings

a. Aluminum paint
b. Chalk paint
c. Anti-corrosion paint
d. Quartz paint
Ans. The painting type that is NOT used in buildings is quartz paint (option d).
The reasons are:
 Aluminum paint (option a) is commonly used for exterior metals like aluminum panels,
downpipes etc.
 Chalk paint (option b) is increasingly used as a decorative finish for interior walls, trim
work, furniture etc.
 Anti-corrosion paint (option c) is used on metals that are exposed to exterior/interior
corrosion like structural steel.
 Quartz paint (option d) is a special coating used for concrete floors to provide a hardened
scratch resistant surface. It is not generally used on building surfaces/structures.

3. For windward walls of rectangular (h>b) buildings, the wind pressure acting on the wall
face is
a. Uniform throughout
b. Variable throughout
c. Higher at the top and lower at the bottom
d. Lower at the top and higher at the bottom
For windward walls of rectangular (h > b) buildings, the wind pressure acting on the wall
face is c. Higher at the top and lower at the bottom. This is because wind pressure increases
with height due to the increased wind speed at higher elevations. Page 35
4. What is the reason that very often shear reinforcements are not provided in footings?
a. Because the concrete cover we use in footings is larger than we use in super-structural
elements.
b. Because footings are buried in soils and shear reinforcements can decay.
c. Because the concrete we use in footings is very special.
d. Because the thickness provided in footings is enough to withstand the shear stress.
5. Which one of the following is true about Limited Tendering
a. All eligible bidders are allowed
b. Only those passing certain qualification criteria are allowed
c. Results in lower cost
d. Consumes time for tendering and bid -evaluation
6. Height of bridge is kept above maximum flood level

a. 1.8 to 2.1m
b. 2.2 to 2.5m
c.1.2 to 1.5m
d. More than 2.5m

Ans. 1.2 to 1.5 meters

Detailed Solution. The height of the bridge is generally 1.2 to 1.5 meters above the high flood
level of the given region. Different dimensions of the bridge: Width of bridges: It is based on the
traffic survey
7. Which point on the interaction diagram corresponds to pure bending failure
A. Point A
B. Point C
C. Point E
D. Point D
8. Which item should NOT be included in the material break down for C-25 concrete
a. Reinforcement
b. Coarse aggregate
c. Cement
d. Water

9. A floor system typically consists of, except

a. Tiles
b. Glass window
c. The structural floor
d. Ceiling fixtures
10. Which one of the following describes a fully plastic section
The Answer is A

11. What makes the design and analysis of cofferdam complex than other foundation
systems?
a. The dewatering process.
b. The water pressure.
c. The size of cofferdam.
d. The distribution of the lateral earth pressure.
The correct answer is b) The water pressure.
The reasons are:
 Cofferdams are built within water to allow construction in dry condition.

 They have to withstand huge water pressure from all sides when dewatered inside. This
lateral water pressure is the key factor that makes cofferdam design complex.
 Dewatering (option a) is just a process, not what impacts design complexity.
 Size (option c) alone does not affect complexity, large foundations of other types are
designed as well.
 Lateral earth pressure distribution (option d) is considered for retaining walls too, but
water pressure inside a cofferdam is unique.
12. The basic defects in mortar plastering works include, except
a. Falling out of plaster
b. Cracking
c. Strong bond with the substrate wall
d. Efflorescence
Efflorescence - Leaching out of salts to plaster surface giving a white powder

appearance.

13. Which one of the following does NOT describe column failure mode?
a. Cracking
b. Anchorage
c. Shear
d. Flexural
14. One of the following is NOT application of the design of signing and markings.
a. To limit the amount of traffic flow.
b. To inform legal speed limit.
c. To inform drivers of priority.
d. To delineate different zones of the road.
15. Which one of the following is true with regard to the partial safety factor used for
concrete and reinforcing steel
a. The partial safety factor used for concrete is larger than that of the reinforcing steel
b. The partial safety factor used for concrete is 2.0
c. The partial safety factor used for reinforcing steel is 2.0
d. The partial safety factor used for concrete and steel is 1.0
