    Basic Civil Engineering Questions and Answers – Weirs

    This set of Basic Civil Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Weirs”.

    1. How many types of weirs are there based on the shape of the crest?
    a) 6
    b) 4
    c) 5
    d) 3
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: The four types are sharp-crested, broad-crested, narrow-crested and ogee-shaped weir.

    2. _________ weir comprises several designs into one structure.


    a) All-in-one
    b) Open
    c) Mixed
    d) Compound
    View Answer
    /
    Answer: d
    Explanation: Compound weirs are commonly seen in locations where a river has multiple users who may need to bypass the structure. Common
    design includes a broad-crested weir.

    3. Triangular weir is also called:


    a) Trigonometric
    b) Ogee
    c) V-notch
    d) Isolated
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Triangular weir is shaped like a reverse triangle that is the shape of V. Hence, it is also called V-notch weir. These can be used to
    measure discharge over small flows with greater accuracy.

    4. Head loss will be small in case of:


    a) Ogee shaped
    b) Broad crested
    c) Sharp crested
    d) Narrow crested
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Broad crested weirs are constructed in rectangular shape only and are suitable for larger flows. Hence, head loss is less.

    5. In trapezoidal weir, sides are inclined outward with a slope of:


    a) 1:4
    b) 1:5
    c) 1:6
    d) 1:3
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: In trapezoidal weir, the sides are sloping outward at a specific inclination of 1:4 (horizontal: vertical). It is a modification of rectangular
    weir with slightly higher capacity.

    6. Weirs are normally used to calculate:


    a) Volume
    b) Head loss
    c) Discharge
    d) Velocity
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Discharge or flow rate is measured and calculated by analysing a weir. It is given by Q=CLHn, where C is flow coefficient, L is width of
    crest, H is height of head, n is different for different structures.

    7. ________ is the standard shape of a weir.


    a) Rectangular
    b) Triangular
    c) Square
    d) Trapezoidal
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: Rectangular is the standard shape of a weir. Triangular and trapezoidal weirs are modifications of it. They are generally suitable for
    larger flowing channels.
    /
    8. Cippoletti weir has ___________ slope:
    a) Different
    b) Proportionate
    c) Disproportionate
    d) Equal
    View Answer

    Answer: d
    Explanation: Cippoletti weir is a special case of a trapezoidal weir. In this, the side slope on either sides are equal. So, trapezoid can be divided into
    rectangular and triangular portion and hence analysed easily.

    9. The overflowing sheet of water is called:


    a) Head
    b) Nappe
    c) Upstream
    d) Crest
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Nappe represents the overflowing sheet of water. If it discharges into air, it is free discharge. If discharge is partly under water, it is
    submerged/drowned discharge.

    10. For a discharge of triangular weirs with notch angle __________ the formula is 0.685 h2.45.
    a) 90o
    b) 60o
    c) 30o
    d) 45o
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: For 30o angle, the formula is 0.685 h2.45. For 60o angle, it is 1.45 h2.47 and for 90o angle, it is 2.49 h2.48.

    11. Which of the below is suitable for soft sandy foundation?


    a) Dry stone slope weir
    b) Vertical drop weir
    c) Parabolic weir
    d) Masonry slope weir
    View Answer

    Answer: d
    Explanation: Masonry or concrete slope weir is the one suitable for soft sandy foundation. It is used where difference in weir crest and downstream
    river is limited to 3m.

    /
    12. Weirs can be used to power water wheels and power sawmills.
    a) True
    b) False
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: Mill ponds are created by a weir. It impounds water and then it flows over the structure. The energy created by this change in height of
    the water is used to power watermills and sawmills.
