PAPER – II ( i )
Marks : 100
NOTE : All questions carry equal marks.
Answer any FIVE
questions.
Make suitable
assumptions regarding data where
necessary.
Q. 1 – ( a ) If the degree of curve is defined by the angle at the
center subtended by an arc (or chord) 20 meters, find the length of the chord
in meters so that the versine measured in cms is equal to the degree of curve.
( b ) What is an
ideal transition curve and by what name it is generally called. A transition
curve is required for a circular curve of 200-meter f
radius, the gauge being 1.5 m. and max super elevation restricted to 15 cm. The
transition restricted to 15 cm. The transition is to be designed for a velocity
such that no lateral pressure is imposed on the rails and the rate of gain of
radial acceleration is 30 cm / sec3 . Calculate the required length
of transition.
Q. 2 – ( a ) Two concentrated loads of 100 & 200 KN advance along a
girder of 20 m. span, the distance between the loads being 8 m. Find the
position of the section which has to support the greatest bending moment and
calculate the value of this bending moment.
Length of the pile = 15 m.
Weight of concrete = 2.4 t / m3
Weight of falling
hammer = 5 tonnes.
Weight of free fall = 1 m.
Average penitration under
last ten blows. = 5 mm
Efficiency of hammer = 100 %
Co-efficient of restitution = 0.5
Total elaste
compression
= 30 mm
Use Hiley formula.
Q. 5 – ( a ) Describe
Bernoulli’s ‘ theorem for liquids. Illustrate with equation. How this is applied
for the construction of venturimeter.
50 liters per sec of
water flow in a horizontal pipeline which is 200m long and the centerline of
which is 3 m above the datum line. The pipe tapers from 30 cm diameter to 20 cm
dia. If the pressure at the larger end of the pipe is 1kg / Cm2. Calculate the pressure on
the other end. Neglect losses.
( b ) A bridge is to
be constructed over a stream having a catchment area = 20 miles2
partly in plains and partly in hills. Portion in hills has a length of 1.7
miles and fall of 880 ft. and that in plains has a length of 5.7 miles and a
fall of 244 ft. Calculate the flood discharge if co elf of discharge is 80 %
and area factor 95 5 and value of constant for calculating time of
concentration = 14 for hills and 6 for plains. One hr rain fall intensity may
be assumed as 2.5’’.
Q.
6 – A new railway Colony is going to have a population of 60,000. suggest the
arrangements of water supply and sewage disposal. There is a river having
perennial flow, which can be used, as source of water supply and also for
disposal of treated sewage. Draw a neat diagram.
Q.
7 – Write short notes on any five: -
a)
Triangulation
b)
Proof stresses and working stresses.
c)
Bricks.
d)
Well foundation.
e)
Unit Hydrograph.
