GATE Civil Engineering Exam Question Paper 2013

There is no value of x that can simultaneously satisfy both the given equations.Therefore, find the‘least squares error’ solution to the two equations, i.e., find the value of xthat minimizes the sum ofsquares of the errors in the two equations. __________
2x =3
4x =1

What is the minimum number of multiplications involved in computing the matrix product PQR?MatrixP has 4 rows and 2 columns, matrix Q has 2 rows and 4 columns, and matrixR has 4 rows and1 column. __________

A 1-h rainfall of 10 cm magnitude at a station has a return period of 50 years. The probability thata 1-h rainfall of magnitude 10 cm or more will occur in each oftwo successive years is:
(A) 0.04 (B) 0.2 (C)0.02 (D) 0.0004

Maximum possible value of Compacting Factor for fresh (green) concrete is:
(A) 0.5 (B) 1.0 (C) 1.5 (D) 2.0

As per IS 800:2007, the cross-section in which the extreme fiber can reach the yield stress, butcannot develop the plastic moment of resistance due to failure by local buckling is classified as
(A) plastic section (B) compact section
(C) semi-compact section (D) slender section

The creep strains are
(A) caused due to dead loads only
(B) caused due to live loads only
(C) caused due to cyclic loads only
(D) independent of loads

The ‘plane section remains plane’ assumption in bending theory implies:
(A) strain profile is linear
(B) stress profile is linear
(C) both strain and stress profiles are linear
(D)shear deformations are neglected

The ratio Nf/Nd is known as shape factor, where Nf is the number of flow lines and Nd is thenumber of equipotential drops. Flow net is always drawn with a constant b/a ratio, where b and aare distances between two consecutive flow lines and equipotential lines, respectively. Assumingthat b/a ratio remains the same, the shape factor of aflow net will change if the
(A) upstream and downstream heads are interchanged
(B) soil in the flow space is changed
(C) dimensions of the flow space are changed
(D) head difference causing the flow is changed

Following statementsare made on compacted soils, wherein DS stands forthe soils compacted ondry side of optimum moisture content and WS stands for thesoils compacted on wet side ofoptimum moisture content. Identify the incorrect statement.
(A) Soil structure is flocculated onDS and dispersed on WS.
(B) Construction pore water pressure is low on DS and high on WS.
(C)On drying, shrinkage is high on DS and low on WS.
(D)On access to water, swelling is high on DS and low on WS.
