ACROSS ( Left to RIGHT )
# Clue Letters Answer
2 the Desert natural feature formed by Erosion and Deposition of sand by Wind 4 Dune
6 The Reverse movement experienced by Elastic bodies after Impact 7 Rebound
7 The Unsymmetrical Shaping of Rail Wheels to enable covering of different distances
by the Left and Right Wheels of the Same Axle along Curves
6 Coning
ACROSS ( Left to RIGHT )
12 The Pattern of Mutual Arrangement of Basic Building Blocks / Units along a Vertical
Plane to ensure Stability
4 Bond
13 The Fine Aggregate derived from Stone Crusher Waste and having Proper Grading 1-4 M Sand
17 The chemical process in Cement Products which leads to change of Physical State 7 Setting
ACROSS ( Left to RIGHT )
19 The most permanent type of Joint in Steel Structures 4 Weld
21 the extra non-structural part / portion / layer of the overall material in RCC members 5 Cover
22 The Inclined Approach Surface provided in building entrances and also inside the
building between 2 floors instead of Steps / Staircase
4 Ramp
ACROSS ( Left to RIGHT )
24 the vertical structural member giving the vertical level ( height ) and clearance
required for structural systems which help to travel across natural / artificial barriers
Non-stop and without changing the Mode of Transport
4 Pier
25 The scientist who showed how to Minimize the VOIDs ( OR ) how to Maximize the
SOIL SOLIDS in soil in a given vessel by altering the soil water content
7 Proctor
26 Probably the only Unsymmetrical shaped equipment ( unsymmetrical about both
Horizontal and Vertical Axes ) to test the Workability of SCC
1, 3 L Box
ACROSS ( Left to RIGHT )
27 It is the outer most layer of a tree (for large trees it is Removable without damaging
the tree )
4 Bark
31 The phenomenon of increase and later decrease in volume of the most popular fine
aggregate used in concrete ( the volume changes due to changes in water content )
Only because of this PHENOMENON, Volumetric batching of concrete was banned
7 Bulking
32 The scientist who showed how to calculate the free movement of liquid drops in air or
free movement of solid particles through liquids
5 Stoke
ACROSS ( Left to RIGHT )
33 the longitudinal barrier along both the edges of the Pavement to mark the boundary of
Carriageway
4 Kerb
34 A solid body is simply dropped from a height. Due to some GLUE like arrangements
on the hitting surface, the body cannot bounce back but will stick to the surface on
which it hits upon, i.e. the body will come to TOTAL REST. Name the type of
physical motion which the body was undergoing just before impact with the sticky
surface
12 Acceleration
35 this is the change in the vertical levels of the layers of a horizontal structural member
supported at one or more points along its length and when subjected to loads acting
transversely. The same layer exhibits different amount of changes in levels at different
points along the longitudinal axis
10 Deflection











DOWN ( Top to DOWN )
# Clue Letters Answer
1 The very first step in any surveying work carried out WITHOUT any Surveying
instrument ( at the MAXIMUM a Binocular may be used )
14 Reconnaissance
3 the special steel reinforcement used in PSC, and having very high Yield Stress much
higher when compared to conventional rebars
6 Tendon
4 This is the Thinner most layer of plywood. Any plywood is manufactured by
arranging ODD number of these basic layers one above the other. This layer is
called as
6 Veneer

5 the physical force HELPFUL to transport liquids but HARMFUL or atleast
TROUBLESOME while transporting people or goods along surface transport and
especially while negotiaing the curved paths
11 Centrifugal
8 the Physical / Mechanical process applied upon the Cllinker pieces to convert them
into Cement
5 Grind
9 the most common type of failure mode in long compression members 8 Buckling

10 the common defect developing in freshly cast concrete due to poor compaction 5,4 Honey Comb
11 the name of the type of Retaining Wall in which the VERTICAL TRIANGULAR
STIFFENER element is placed on the soil backfill side of the wall
11 Counterfort
12 the scientist after whom the Hydration Compounds of Cement are named 5 Bogue

13 in General English, this denotes a small fraction of TIME
in Engineering, this denotes a Mechanic Effect which leads to Rotation, Twist, or
any form of change of shape of the body in a circular pattern
6 Moment
14 the name of COMPRESSION members having any direction or orientation in the
overall structure
5 Strut
15 one type of water in soils STICKING to the Soil particle SURFACE but not a part
of the chemical composition of the particle
8 aDsorbed

16 type of staircase, where any two ADJACENT / CONSECUTIVE steps do not have
the same direction
6 SPIRAL
18 the construction site crane which does not move on the Ground, but which can reach
almost all points in the site in all directions. Its MOVEMENT COORDINATES can
be dined in terms of R, , Z,
where R Radius of Horizontal Reach ( R= 0 to Rmax as per the Crane design )
Angle of Rotation along the HORIZONTAL Plane ( = 0 to 360 )
Z Vertical Reach of the Crane ( Z = 0 to Zmax bUT where Zmax can be
kept on INCREASING as building grows taller and taller )
5,
5
Tower Crane
20 the part of a dam which facilitates safe disposal of the excess water 8 Spillway
DOWN ( Top to DOWN )
23 the general name of all types of soil removed as unwanted material while excavating
and boring for Tunnels
4 Muck
28 A Rotating or Static Arrangement where the raw materials of some common
building materials are FIRED to very high temperatures but without Melting
4 Kiln

29 the type of concrete having NOT ONLY High Strength but also long durability, high
resistance and high values in any behavioural property required
3 Abbreviation HPC
30 the type of concrete which can flow on its own and which does not require any kind
of compaction
3 Abbreviation SCC
