    1.What are factors to be considered in design of septic tank?


    The following factors should be taken into consideration:
    Material should be water proof and corrosion resistant.
    Natural ventilation provided should be adequate
    A manhole should be provided to permit inspection and cleaning.
    Baffles should be limited to one at the inlet and one at the outlet.

    2.Define lead.
    Lead is the crow flying horizontal distance from the centre of borrow pit to the
    centre of the earthwork at site, i.e centre of the area of excavation to the centre of placed
    earth.

    3.Define lift.
    Lift is the distance through which the excavated soil is lifted beyond a certain
    specified depth.
    4.What is the size of septic tank for 50 users?
    4 cum

    5.. What is the size of septic tank for 25 users?


    2.5 cum

    6.A cement concrete road (1:2:3) is to be constructed over the existing water bound
    macadam road .The thickness of slab =10cm.The length of the road is one km and the
    width 3.60m.Calculate the quality of cement concrete and the material required,
    Solution
    Quality of cement concrete = 1 x 1000 x 3.60 x 0.10 = 360 cu.m

    7.Calculate the quality of earthwork for the construction of an approach road


    Length = 1Km
    Width of formation = 10 m
    Height of embankment = 60 cm
    Side slope = 1:2

    Solution
    Quantity of earth work = L (Bd+Sd2)
    B=10cm ; d =0.60m ;S = 2
    Quantity of earth work = 1000 x (10 x 0.60) +2 x 0.60 x 0.60 = 6720 cu.m

    8.What are the main components of culvert?


    1.Abutments
    2.Wing walls
    3.Arch

    9.What are the types of culvert?


    1. Arch culvert
    2. Slab culvert
    3. Pipe culvert
    4. Box culvert

    10. Workout the quality of stone metal required for 2Km.Length for wearing coat of a 4m
    wide road. The thickness of the metal road required is 12cm loose.
    Solution
    Quality of metal = 1 X 2 X 1000 X 4 X 0.12 = 960.00cum

    11.Write the formula for Mid ordinate rule and Prismoidal formula Rule.
    Mid sectional area method:
    Q = (Bdm+sdm
    2) x L
    Where
    B – Formation width
    S – Side slopes
    dm – Mean depth
    L – Length of the section
    WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM
    Prismoidal formula rule:
    Q = L/6(A1 +A2+4Am)
    A1 = Bd1 + sd1
    2
    A2 = Bd2+Sd2
    2
    Am = Bdm+sdm
    2
    dm = (d1+d2)/2
