Question 1
For two major roads with divided carriageway crossing at right angle, a
full clover leaf interchange with four indirect ramps is provided.
Following statements are made on turning movements of vehicles to all
directions from both roads. Identify the correct statement:
Merging from left is possible, but diverging to left is not

A
possible.
B Both merging from left and diverging to left are possible
Merging from left is not possible, but diverging to left is

C
possible
D Neither merging from left nor diverging to left is possible.
Oops! Wrong answer!
A cloverleaf interchange is a two-level interchange in which left turns

(reverse directions in left-driving regions), are handled by ramp roads.
To go left (in right-hand trafc), vehicles rst continue as one road
passes over or under the other, then exit right onto a one-way three-
fourths loop ramp (270 ) and merge onto the intersecting road.

The objective of a cloverleaf is to allow two highways to cross

without the need for any trafc to be stopped by red lights, even for
left and right turns. The limiting factor in the capacity of a cloverleaf
interchange is trafc weaving.
The correct statement is both merging from left and diverging to left
are possible.
Report
Question 2
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A Plumb line is along the direction of gravity
Mean Sea Level (MSL) is used as a reference surface for

B
establishing the horizontal control
C Mean Sea Level (MSL) is a simplication of Geoid
D Geoid is an equipotential surface of gravity
Correct answer
Mean Sea Level (MSL) is used as reference surface for establishing

the vertical control and not horizontal control
Report
Question 3
A conventional ow duration curve is a plot between
A Flow and percentage time ow is exceeded
B Duration of ooding and ground level elevation
Duration of water supply in a city and proportion of area

C
receiving supply exceeding this duration
Flow rate and duration of time taken to empty a reservoir at

D
that ow rate
Oops! Wrong answer!
Correct option is (A).
Flow duration curve (FDC) are used in the design of Hydropower

projects and it is a plot of ow and percentage times ow is
exceeded, as shown.
Report
Question 4
In signal design as per Indian Roads Congress specications, if the sum

of the ratios of normal ows to saturation ow of two directional trafc
ow is 0.50 and the total lost time per cycle is 10 seconds, the optimum
cycle length in seconds is
A 100
B 80
C 60
D 40
Oops! Wrong answer!
Optimum cycle length,
Where, Y = sum of ratio of normal ow to saturation ow of two

direction trafc ow =
0.5
L = total lost time per cycle = 10 seconds
Report
Question 5
California Bearing Ratio method of designing exible pavement is more
accurate, as it involves
A Characteristics of soils
B Trafc densities
C Specications of the road making materials
D None of these
Correct answer
CBR is based on the strength parameters of subgrade soil.
Report
Question 6
For a 25cm thick cement concrete pavement, analysis of stresses gives
the following values
The most critical stress value for this pavement is
A 40 kg/cm2
B 42 kg/cm2
C 44 kg/cm2
D 45 kg/cm2
Correct answer
I. Critical stress combination (during summer)

= (load stress + warping stress frictional stress) (at edge region)
= (32 + 8 - 5) = 35 kg/cm2
II. Critical stress combination (during win)
= (load stress + warping stress frictional stress) (at edge)
= (32 + 6 + 4) = 42 kg/cm2
III. Critical stress combination in summer at midnight (at corner)
= load stress + warping stress
= (30 + 9) = 39 kg/cm2
IV. Critical stress combination at midnight (winter) at corner
= (load stress + warping stress)
= 30 + 9 = 39 kg/cm2
Hence, most critical section for the pavement = 42 kg/cm2
Report
Question 7
The data given below pertain to the design of a exible pavement.
Initial trafc = 1213 cvpd
Trafc growth rate = 8 percent per annum
Design life = 12 years
Vehicle damage factor = 2.5
Distribution factor = 1.0
The design trafc of friction in the longitudinal direction of a highway is
estimated as 0.396. The braking distance for a car moving at a speed of

65 km / hr is
A 0.06 msa
B 8.40 msa
C 21.00 msa
D 32.25 msa
Oops! Wrong answer!
Cumulative number of standard axle load
A = Number of commercial vehicle or initial trafc

= 1213 cvpd
r = Trafc growth rate
= 8% per annum
n = design life = 2 years
f = vehicle damage factor = 2.5
Report
Question 8
In the Marshall method of mix design, the coarse aggregates, ne
aggregates, lter and bitumen, having respective specic gravities of

2.56, 2.65, 2.70 and 1.10 are mixed in the ratio of 50, 38.2, 4.7 and 7.1
percent, respectively. The theoretical specic gravity of the mix would be-
---------.
A 2.37
B 2.47
C 3.37
D 3.47
Oops! Wrong answer!
The theoretical specic gravity of the mix is given
Report
Question 9
IS: 1343 - 1980 limits the minimum characteristic strength of pre-
stressed concrete for post tensioned works and pretension work as
A 25MPa, 30MPa respectively
B 25MPa, 35MPa respectively
C 30Mpa, 35MPa respectively

C 30Mpa, 35MPa respectively
D 30Mpa, 40MPa respectively
Oops! Wrong answer!
As per Indian Standard code of practice for pre-stressed concrete, M-

30 for post-tensioned and M-40 for pre-tensioned.
So, option (D) is correct answer.
Report
Question 10
If the standard deviation of the spot speed of vehicles in a highway is 8.8
kmph and the mean speed of the vehicles is 33kmph, the coefcient of
variation in speed is
A 0.1517
B 0.1867
C 0.2666
D 0.3646
Correct answer
Standard deviation of spot speed of vehicles = 8.8 kmph

Mean speed of vehicles = 33 kmph
Coefcient of variation of speed
