Which one of the following is an advantage using a triangular notch
over a rectangular notch?
(a) Ventilation of a triangular notch is necessary
(b) The same triangular notch cannot measure a wide range of
flows accurately
(c) For heavy discharges, a triangular notch gives more accurate
results than a rectangular
notch.
(d) In a given triangular notch, only one reading is required to
be taken for the measurement
of discharge
(D)
A triangular notch is preferred to a rectangular notch due to following reasons:
1. The expression for discharge for a right angled V-notch is very simple.
2. For measuring low discharge, a triangular notch gives more accurate results than
a rectangular notch.
3. In case of triangular notch, only one reading, i.e., H is required for the computation
of discharge.
4. Ventilation of triangular notch is not necessary.

road?
(a) Saturation system

(A)
Which one of the following alignments is obtained by development
accompanied by tunneling?
(a) Valley alignment
(b) Cross country alignment
(c) Mountain alignment
(d) Zig-zag alignment
(C)
The alignment of a tunnel constructed as part of a development project would depend
on various factors, such as the topography of the area, the geological conditions, and
the tunnel's purpose. A zig-zag alignment would not typically be used in tunnel
construction, as it would increase construction costs and complexity without providing
significant benefits. A "Mountain Alignment" typically refers to a tunnel alignment that
follows the contour of a mountain or hill. This type of alignment is often used when a
tunnel is needed to bypass a mountainous area or provide access to resources within
a mountain. However, it is important to note that the alignment chosen for a tunneling
project would depend on a wide range of factors, such as the area's geology, the
presence of other infrastructure, and the project's specific needs.
The design speed for a two-way traffic on a two way lane road is 50
kmph. What is

is 0.37 and reaction

Consider the following statements related to economic design of
modern track:
1. Axle loading, possible
weight reduction of the rolling stock and increase in number
of axles should be rationalized.
2. Rail to sleeper
fastenings for different type of sleepers at high speeds should have
definite standards.
3. The weight of the
sleeper and the rail may not be related to each other.
Which of the above statements are correct?
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
(A)
A modern track has to be rationalized in view of the following to achieve over-all economy
on Indian Railways.
i. Rail requirements, like quality of steel, design of rail-section and manufacturing
process, should be rationalized so that the rail section can sustain the expected
stresses due to rolling loads.
ii. Wheel diameter in relation to qualities of rail steel and steel of the wheel tyre should
also be rationalized so as to keep Hertzian stresses within the endurance limits of
the steel.
iii. Axle loading, possible weight reduction of the rolling stock and increase in number
of axles should be rationalized.
iv. Rail-to-sleeper fastenings i.e., elastic fastenings for different types of sleepers at
high speeds should have definite standards.
v. The weight of the sleeper and the rail should be correctly related to each other
Read the following information and
answer the two items that follow:The chainage of the intersection point
of two straights is 1060 m, and the angle of intersection is
120°. If radius of a circular curve to be set out is 570 m, and
peg interval Is 30 m.
What is the length of the curve?
(a) 190π m
(b) 185π m
(c) 180π m
(d) 170π m
(A) 190π m
Length of curve = Angle subtended at O × Radius
L = π/3 × 570 = = 190π m
What is the length of the long chord?
(a) 370 m
(b) 470 m
(c) 670 m
(d) 570 m
(D) 570 m
Length of long chord = AB =2Rsin (∆/2) = 2Rsin (60/2) =2Rsin
(30)
2×R×1/2 = 2×570×1/2= 570m
In Map versus Aerial photograph, due to
symbolic representation the clarity of details
is
(a) less on map than on a photo
(b) more on map than on a photo
(c) less on a photo than on map
(d) more on a photo than on map
Ans. (b)
Differences between Map and Aerial
Photograph,
1. The map is an orthographic projection, whereas an aerial photograph
is a central
projection, i.e. perspective projection.
2. The map has a single constant scale, whereas it varies from point to
point depending
upon their elevations in an aerial photograph. In the case of the
photograph, the
terrain area which has higher elevation is closer to the camera and
therefore appears larger than the terrains area laying at a lower
elevation.
3. The number of details on a map are selective whereas in a aerial
photograph there
is a large number of details.
4. Due to the symbolic representation, the clarity of details is more
on the maps than
on photo.

The levelling is carried out between two
stations P and Q separated by 1000 m. The
Back Sight (BS) reading is noted as 0.70 m on station P, whose BM is
240.00 m. Next,
the Fore Sight (FS) reading is taken on an intermediate point and the
value is 1.25 m.
Then the instrument is shifted to a new location and BS is taken on
intermediate point
as 0.85 m. Finally, the FS reading is taken on station Q as 1.10 m.
