b) Stable and statically indeterminate
c) Stable and statically determinate
d) None of the above
Ans: (b)
i. m + r = 2j Stable and statically determinate

ii. m + r > 2j Stable and statically indeterminate is redundant
iii. m + r < 2j Unstable or deficient tresses
87.Magnification factor is defined as the ratio of

a) Static force to dynamic force
b) Dynamic force to static force
c) Static force to static deflection

88.The minimum edge distance in a bolted connection with rolled edge should not be less than
a) 1.5 x diameter of hole
b) 2.0 x diameter of bolt
c) 1.7 x diameter of hole
d) 1.7 x diameter of bolt
Ans: (a) Minimum edge or end for machine cut (Rolled edge) – 1.5 d1
Minimum edge or end for machine cut – 1.7 d1
d1 = diameter of hole
89.For shear strength, a triaxial test is preferred to direct shear test, because
a) It can be performed under all drainage conditions
b) Stress distribution on failure plane is uniform
c) Precise measurement of the pore water and volume change during the test is possible
d) All of the above
Ans: (D) Triaxial test is prefer over direct shear test because in direction shear test use cannot
measure pore water pressure hence it is performed under drained conditions only.

But in triaxial test we can measure pore water pressure hence it is performed under
drained or underdained conditions both.
In direct shear test failure plane is pre – determined but in triaxial shear test soil fails
about that plane at which resultant stress is inclined to maximum angle with its
normal stress & also stress distribution is uniform. Hence all options are correct.
90.Steady flow occurs when

a) Conditions do not change with time at any point
b) Conditions are the same at adjacent points at any instant
c) When = constant. (V is Velocity, and s is space parameter)
d) Conditions change steadily with time
Ans: Steady flow means conditions do not change with time at any point.
91.In I section, symmetrical about XX and YY axes, shear centre lies at

a) Centroid of top flange
b) Centroid of bottom flange
c) Centroid of web
d) None
Ans: (c)

92.Which of the following R.C. retaining walls is suitable for heights beyond 6 m?
a) L-shaped wall
b) T-shaped wall
c) Counterfort type
d) All of the above
Ans: (C) If the height of retaining wall is more than 6 m the counter fort retaining wall is
preferred. (Reference page no. 508, BC Punamia WSM book).
In cantilever retaining wall, the bending moment in the vertical stem varies as h3,
where h is the height of the stem. When this height 6 m, at thick stem is required
that makes the design uneconomical. In that case counter forts retaining walls are
need.

inclined roughly to the horizontal at
a)
b)
c)
d)
Ans: (C) Without shear reinforcement diagonal tension crack may develop, that inclined at an
angle of 45o with horizontal.

a) 6 legged
b) 8 legged
c) 10 legged
d) 12 legged
Ans: (D) In case of combined footing, if nominal shear stress > design shear strength
(5kg/cm2), we can provide 10 or 12 legged stirrups.
If < 5kg/cm2 then use 8 legged stirrups.
95.Super critical flow can occur in a

a) Channel with mild slope
b) Channel with a steep slope
c) A horizontal channel
d) All of the above
Ans: (d)
96.If drainage is permitted throughout, in a shear strength test during the application of both

pressures develop at any stage of the test, is known as
a) Consolidated undrained test
b) Consolidation drained test

d) Unconfined compression test
Ans: (B) Triaxial Shear Test
CD test UU test
Consolidation stage – drained CU test Consolidation stage – undrained
Deviator stage – drained Deviator stage – undrained
Consolidation stage – drained
(PWP is zero during both the process) (PWP exist in both stages)
Deviator stage – undrained
(PWP is zero only in first stage but in
deviator stage it exists)

97.To avoid the resonance in high speed machine it is best to keep the natural frequency at k
times the operating frequency where k times the operating frequency where k is
a) 1/3 to ½
b) 1/3 to ¼
c) ¼ to 1/5
d) 1
Ans: (b)

resultant stress on a plane carrying the maximum shear stress is equal to
a) √
√
b)
√
c)
√
d)
Ans: no option
√( ) ( )
=√
99.The ratio of modulus of rigidity to modulus of elasticity for Poisons ratio of 0.25 would be
a) 0.5
b) 0.4
c) 0.3

d) 1.0
Ans: (B) E = 2G(1+ )
If .25 (Given)
E = 2G (1.25)
100. Maximum bending moment in a beam occurs where

a) Deflection is zero
b) Shear force is maximum
c) Shear force is minimum
d) Shear force changes sign
( )
Ans: (D) ( )
( )
When is equal to zero, we get maximum or minimum bending moment
and this point occurs where SF changes its sign.
