Sylhet Gas Field QS 2017

1. An artesian aquifer 10m thick with pizometric surface 40m above the bottom confining layer
is being pumped by a fully penetrating well. The aquifer is a medium sand (hydraulic
conductivity 1.5*10-4 m/s). Steady state draw downs of 5.00m and 1.00m are observed at two
non-pumping wells located 20.0m and 200.0m, respectively, from the pumped well. Determine
the discharge at the pumped well in m3/s.

2. The trapezoidal channel shown has a mannings co-efficient of n=0.013 and is laid at a slope
of 0.002. The depth of flow is 2.0 ft. what is the flow rate at ft3/s?

3. Laboratory analysis of water sample. All concentrations are as substance. Ca++=74 mg/l,
Mg=18.3 mg/l, Na=27.6 mg/l, K=39.1 mg/l, pH=7.8; HCO3-=274.5 mg/l, SO4=72 mg/l,
Cl=49.7 mg/l. Determine 1) Hardness of water in mg/l of CaCO3? 2) Amount of lime needed to
remove hardness by CaHCO3?

4. Find the resultant force on one side of a 25 cm diameter vertical circular plate standing at the
bottom of 3 m pool of water? (Density of water= 1000 kg/m3, g=9.81 m/s2)

5. True/false
1) TVF test gives a measure of the resistance of aggregate of crushing for weak aggregate.

6. Draw the typical fundamental diagram (speed vs density, flow vs density, speed vs flow) of
traffic flow.

7. Standard rail length of BG track is 12.80 m. if 45 kg rail is used in a particular BG track in

Rajshahi, what is the total weight of each individual rail girder? What maximum axle load can be
safely imposed on that track?

8. 25% of a total sand sample is retained on each of 0.60 mm, 0.425 mm, 0.30 mm and 0.15 mm
sieves. Find the FM of sand sample.

9. If ground is level across an embankment width, determine the volume of earthwork. Given,
RL of FL 18 ft, width of FL=25 ft, side slope=2.5H:1V. RL of centerline of GL at chainage 0 ft,
80 ft and 200 ft are 21 ft, 18 ft and 16 ft respectively.
