Elements of Civil Engineering - Jan 2014

First Year Engineering (Semester 2)

TOTAL MARKS: 100
TOTAL TIME: 3 HOURS (1) Question 1 is compulsory.
(2) Attempt any four from the remaining questions.
(3) Assume data wherever required.
(4) Figures to the right indicate full marks. 1 (a) Following staff readings were taken on an uneven ground with a 4 m leveling staff. Calculate reduced levels of the points by height of instrument method and apply usual checks. The instrument was shifted after 3rd, 6^th and 9^th readings. The first reading was taken on a bench mark of 100 m. 1.20, 2.65, 3.50, 2.40, 1.95, 0.90, 1.80, 3.70, 2.50, 0.85, 1.70.(7 marks) 1 (b) Discuss the characteristics of contour with suitable sketches.(7 marks) 2 (a) Following bearings were observed in a closed traver se, determine the included angles.

(7 marks) 2 (b) Explain the fundamental principles of surveying.(7 marks) 3 (a) The distance between two points on the ground was measured with a 20m chain and was found to be 1800m. The same distance was measured with a 30m chain and found to be 1740m. If the 20m chain was 5cm too short, what was the error in the 30m chain?(7 marks) 3 (b) How will you calculate the area having irregular boundary with the help of a plannimeter?(7 marks) 4 (a) Discuss the types of loads acting on the building.(7 marks) 4 (b) Explain the common Building components and their functions.(7 marks) 5 (a) Discuss the requirements of good quality bricks.(7 marks) 5 (b) Discuss the various construction materials used in Civil Engineering.(7 marks) 6 (a) Write short note on traffic control devices(7 marks) 6 (b) With the neat sketch explain hydrological cycle.(7 marks) 7 (a) Discuss the methods to control the flood.(7 marks) 7 (b) What are the various modes of transportation? Discuss them.(7 marks)
