An irrigation canal is to be designed to deliver 10 cumec to meet the peak demand of 7500 hectare of cropped area. The estimated canal losses are 50 % of the head discharge. The du...

Corrections are applied to the basic length of the runway strip considering: (i) The elevation H (in m) of the airport above Mean Sea Level (MSL) (ii) Corrected air temperature T (...

A plane truss consists of two linearly elastic, homogeneous, identical members, namely PQ and QR. Both members have length (L), cross-sectional area (A), and modulus of elasticity...

For the traverse given below, the benchmark is at ground point L. The Reduced Level (RL) of L is 150.000 m. The direction of the traverse is from L to N. The readings on levelling...

Locations P and Q are separated by a wide valley. The difference in levels of locations P and Q measured by a levelling instrument stationed near P is 3.0 m. The same instrument st...

The chart given below compares the Installed Capacity (MW) of four power generation technologies, T1, T2, T3, and T4, and their Electricity Generation (MWh) in a time of 1000 hours...

A critical activity in a project is estimated to take 15 days to complete at a cost of Rs. 30,000. The activity can be expedited to complete in 12 days by spending a total amount o...

A 5 m × 5 m closed tank of 10 m height contains water and oil, and is connected to an overhead water reservoir as shown in the figure. Use $\gamma_w$ = 10 kN/m³ and Specific gravit...

Differential levelling is carried out from point P (BM: +200.000 m) to point R. The readings taken are given in the table. Staff readings (m) Points Back Sight Fore Sight Remarks P...

Which of the following options match the test reporting conventions with the given material tests in the table? Test reporting convention (P) Reported as ratio (Q) Reported as perc...

An idealised bridge truss is shown in the figure. The force in Member U2L3 is _________ kN (round off to one decimal place).

A post-tensioned concrete member of span 15 m and cross-section of 450 mm x 450 mm is prestressed with three steel tendons, each of cross-sectional area 200 mm². The tendons are te...

The plane truss shown in the figure is subjected to an external force P. It is given that P = 70 kN, a = 2 m, and b = 3 m. The magnitude (absolute value) of force (in kN) in member...

Refer the truss as shown in the figure (not to scale). If load, F = 10√3 kN, moment of inertia, I = 8.33 × 10^6 mm^4, area of cross-section, A = 10^4 mm^2, and length, L = 2 m for...

A prismatic cantilever prestressed concrete beam of span length, L = 1.5 m has one straight tendon placed in the cross-section as shown in the following figure (not to scale). The...
