Which of the following CD works carry drainage over the canal?

Civil Engineering : Irrigation - Quiz(MCQ)

Canal Syphon and Aqueduct

Aqueduct and Syphon Aqueduct

Level-crossing and inlets outlets

Super passage and Syphon

Correct Answer : Super passage and Syphon

Explanation : In Aqueduct and Syphon Aqueduct, the canal is carried over the natural drain. In level crossing and inlet and outlets, the canal water and drainage water are allowed to intermingle with each other.

Which type of lining is mixed and placed under temperature?

Dry Stone Lining

Shotcrete Lining

Cement Concrete Lining

Asphaltic Concrete Lining

Correct Answer : Option (D) : Asphaltic Concrete Lining

Explanation : Asphaltic concrete lining has been under evolution. It is used in very few places. This concrete is a careful mixture of asphalt and graded stone aggregate, and is mixed and applied under elevated temperature. This is a flexible lining and readily confirms to subgrade.

Calculate hydraulic mean depth for concrete-lined channel to carry a discharge of 350 cumecs at a slope of 1 in 5000. The value of manning’s constant for the lining is 0.015. The side slopes of a channel may be taken as 1.5:1. Assume limiting velocity in the channel as 2m/sec.

2.20 m

2.40 m

2.60 m

2.80 m

Correct Answer : Option (D) : 2.80 m

Explaination : Using Manning’s equation: V = 1/n.R2/3.S½
2 = 1/0.015 x Râ…” x 1/5000½
R = 2.80 m.

What is the maximum permissible velocity in Cement concrete lining (Unreinforced) as per Indian Standards?

1.2 to 1.8 m/sec

2 to 2.5 m/sec

1.5 to 2 m/sec

1.5 to 2.5 m/sec

Correct Answer : Option (B) : 2 to 2.5 m/sec

Explanation : The maximum permissible velocity for unreinforced cement concrete lining is 2.0 to 2.5 m/sec. For Boulder lining, the maximum permissible velocity is 1.5 m/sec.
