A cc slab of thickness 20 cm is constructed over a base of granular material with a modulus of reaction 10 kg/cm3. The maximum temperature differential between the top and bottom of the slab is found to be 19°C during summer day and night. The spacing between transverse joints is 8 m and the spacing between longitudinal joints is 4 m. The design wheel load is 5100 kg, radius of contact area is 15 cm, Poisson’s ratio is 0.15, modulus of elasticity is 3×105 kg/cm2, the thermal coefficient is 10 ×10-6 /°C and the coefficient of friction is 1.5. Using the above information, find the worst combination of stresses at the edge of the pavement.

Which of the following statements are correct regarding Westergard’s concept for temperature stresses? 1. During the day, the top of the pavement slab gets heated under the sunlight when the bottom of the slab becomes hot 2. During summer season as the mean temperature of the slab increases, the concrete pavement expands towards the expansion joints 3. Due to frictional force at the interface, compressive stress is developed at the bottom of the slab as it tends to expand.
Consider the following statements: In case of helical gears, teeth are cut at an angle to the axis of rotation of the gears. 1) Helix angle introduces another ratio called axial contact ratio. 2) Transverse contact ratio is equal to axial contact ratio in helical gears. 3) Large transverse contact ratio does not allow multiple teeth to share the load. 4) Large axial contact ratio will cause larger axial force component Which of the above statements are correct?

Let us assume that one side of the slab absorbs a net amount of radiant energy at the rate q = 530.5 watt/m2. If the other face of the slab is at a constant temperature t2 = 38 degree Celsius. Comment on the temperature with respect to the slab?
Consider the following statements regarding pavements: (i) Rigid pavements have good night visibility than flexible pavements. (ii) It is possible to make cross-cutting of the rigid pavement. (iii) In a flexible pavement, any deformation in the top layers is transferred to the under-laid layers; but, in rigid pavements, there is slab or beam action due to which any deformation is only in the top layer of the concrete slab. Which of the above statements are correct?
Which of the following is NOT true about Frictional force? A. Friction is the force which opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. B. The force of friction that acts when a body is moving (sliding) on a surface is called sliding friction. C. Friction in machines wastes energy and also causes wear and tear. D. Rolling friction is much more than sliding friction, the use of ball bearings in a machine considerably reduces friction.

A call center company had to arrange transportation for its employees. They asked for quotes from different provider agencies and the following are the options they got: A. This option allows having uniform rate for day and night trips. This would cost you Rs.1000 per trip. B. This option has differential fare for day and night trips. Day trips would cost 700 per trip and night trips would be charged 1200 per trip. C. This option charges depending on the total distance covered in a trip. It charges Rs.800 per trip if trip distance is more than 50 KM and Rs.1100 if trip distance is less than 50 KM. If the company has 3 night trips and all less than 50 KM and 3 day trips less than 50 KM, which would be the best option?
