Question 1

In case of Raymond pile

[A]. lengths vary from 6 m to 12 m
[B]. diameter of top of piles varies from 40 cm to 60 cm
[C]. diameter of pile at bottom varies from 20 cm to 28 cm
[D]. thickness of outer shell depends upon pile diameter
[E]. all the above. @

Answer 1

The Raymond pile, invented in 1897, is one of the oldest pile types, but still used in several countries, especially North America.

The Raymond pile is also known as the “Step-taper pile”, due to the special steel shell and the typical mandrel. Step-tapered piles are formed from 1. 2, 2. 4, and 4. 9 m straight-sided, thin-walled segments of spirally corrugated steel. Each successive pile.

Element decreases over a length of 2. 44 m by 25 mm in diameter. The minimum diameter (at the pile toe) is 0, 212 m. Step-tapered piles can be driven to a maximum depth of about 40 m. The 40 m long pile has a tip diameter of 0, 212 m and a shaft diameter (at the ground surface) of 0, 438 m.

The pile is installed using a unique driving process. A specially shaped mandrel is inserted into a thin-walled pile tube and the driving force is transmitted along the casing and to the bottom of the pile. In this way, the wall thickness of the pile tube can be kept to a minimum.

Question 2

The exterior angle between outer faces of a wall, is known as

[A]. turn
[B]. junction
[C]. quion @
[D]. all the above.

Answer 2

Stone quoins are used on stone or brick buildings. Brick quoins may appear on brick buildings that extrude from the facing brickwork in such a way as to give the appearance of uniformly cut blocks of stone larger than the bricks.

Where quoins are used for decoration and not for load-bearing, they may be made from a wider variety of materials beyond brick, stone or concrete, extending to timber, cement render or other stucco.

Question 10

A solid core of rock is formed in side the cylinder in the case of

[A]. auger boring
[B]. percussion drilling
[C]. diamond drilling @
[D]. wash boring.

Answer 10

Diamond Drilling is a form of core drilling which uses a rotary drill with a diamond drill bit attached in order to create precisely measured holes. A diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material in the world, it is ideal for creating openings in a range of materials including concrete, metal and glass.

A diamond drill is a precision instrument, creating clean, accurate holes with diameters of between 8mm to more than 1500mm. As it is a non-percussive technique, structural integrity is maintained around when drilling. Every diamond drill runs water through the driving shaft to ensure that the workspace remains free of dust. They can be operated in either a vertical or horizontal direction depending on the requirements.

Answer 15

An ogee is a decorative line formed by two connected curves. The upper curve is concave, or bowed inward like the inside of a bowl. The lower curve is convex, or curved outward like part of a sphere. When the two curves are linked together they form an S-shaped curve.

An ogee arch, then, uses two ogees to form an arch. They meet at the top of the arch in a point.

[D]. Sliding door is generally provided in show rooms
[E]. All the above.

Answer 18

1. The louvred door can be controlled from outside. So anyone can be opened the shutter panels & can see inside the bathroom. Awww. So, its illogical to provide Louvered door in bathrooms.
2. The flush door can be used in dining room, because of its normal plain door. Even in our home flush door is provided in dining.
3. The revolving door is generally provided in shopping malls, parks, metro stations but I have never seen any revolving door provided in the cinema hall. Because many cinema halls have the same entry and exit doors. So, it will be problematic to use a revolving door in that cases. I don’t know which logic make this the right answer.
4. Sliding doors are used now many showrooms which is made of glass even auto sliding doors also provided in many showrooms.
5. It’s illogical.

So, Option 2 can be the right answer.

Question 21

The foundations are placed below ground level, to increase

[A]. strength
[B]. workability
[C]. stability of structure @
[D]. all the above.

Answer 21

The solidity and firmness of structure depend upon the stability of the substructure (Foundation), so the type of foundation you used depends on the weight of a building and the nature of the soil distributing the live or dead load. Actually what carries the weight of a building is not the foundation, but the substratum. The foundation distributes and stabilize the weight of a building to the Soil substratum which carries the weight of the building.

[A].	5 to 10 cm
[B].	15 to 20 cm
[C].	25 to 30 cm
[D].	30 to 45 cm	@
[E].	60 cm.

Answer 24

The projection of Raft beyond the Outer face of the Structure depends on different design aspects -

• Buoyancy.
• The additional wall around the structure for better waterproofing.
• Reinforcement Anchorage of main structure in the Raft.
• Providing Haunch at the junction of Structure and Raft which will enhance joint durability.

Question 25

The process of making the back ground rough, before plastering, is [A]. dubbing [B]. hacking @ [C]. blistering [D]. peeling.

Answer 25

Blistering occurs when a fresh concrete surface is sealed airtight at a time when air voids are migrating to the surface. The air collects under the airtight surface and creates blisters. Several conditions may contribute to their formation. One is wind blowing over the concrete surface, reducing its moisture content. Another is a subgrade that is cooler than the concrete so that the top surface sets faster than the bottom. A sticky mixture containing excessive fines also contributes to sealing of the surface and blistering. Lean mixes can add to the problem because they may have to be worked excessively to produce the desired finish and the extra work may seal the surface. Finishing too early and the misuse of tools also can lead to blistering. Examples of such misuse are making an excessive number of passes with a vibrating screed, excessive use of the jitterbug, excessive use of the bull float or using a power float with the blade not flat. It should be noted that any kind of plaster needs to be able to stay put on host surface. If not, it will just fall off. It is therefore a common practice to either roughen a surface for better cohesive power of the plaster, or layer a cohesive film. Where roughening the surface is required, methods like sandblasting or hacking are used. Hacking is usually done with a hammer and chisel. Periodic and shallow indentations are made on the surface, this results in a rougher surface and will provide better cohesive potential for the plaster to stick to.

Simplex pile is useful for both soft and hard soils. To obtain simplex pile, a steel tube with cast iron shoe is driven into the ground up to desired depth. After that, reinforcement is provided in the tube and then filled it with concrete. Frankie pile is suitable for granular type of soils and for soils bearing stratum of limited thickness is located at reasonable depth. This type of pile has mushroom shape bottom which acts like spread footing. Vibro piles are suitable for soft soils which offers some amount of frictional resistance.
