Civil Engineering :: Estimating and Costing

  1. In case of laying gullies, siphons, intercepting traps, the cost includes

  2. A.

     Setting and laying

    B.

     Bed concreting

    C.

     Connection to drains

    D.

     All of these


  3. The minimum width of a septic tank is taken

  4. A.

     70 cm

    B.

     75 cm

    C.

     80 cm

    D.

     90 cm


  5. The total length of a cranked bar through a distance (d) at 45° in case of a beam of effective length L, is

  6. A.

     L + 0.42 d

    B.

     L + (2 × 0.42 d)

    C.

     L - (0.42 d)

    D.

     L - (2 × 0.4 d)


  7. The correct Prismoidal formula for volume is

  8. A.

     D [first area + last area + Ʃ Even area + 2 Ʃ odd areas]

    B.

     D/3 [first area + last area + 4 Ʃ Even area + 2 Ʃ odd areas]

    C.

     D/3 [first area + last area + 2 Ʃ Even area + 4 Ʃ odd areas]

    D.

     D/6 [first area + last area + 2 ∑ Even area + 4 ∑ odd areas]


  9. The assumption on which the trapezoidal formula for volumes is based, is

  10. A.

     The end sections are parallel planes

    B.

     The mid-area of a pyramid is half the average area of the ends

    C.

     The volume of the Prismoidal is over-estimated and hence a Prismoidal correction is applied

    D.

     All the above
