Solution and Marking Scheme
Branch : Common to All Semester : II
Subject: Basic Civil Engineering Maximum marks: 20
Subject Code: 300216(20) Time Allowed : 1.5 Hr
Question No. 1: Explain initial and final setting time. What is their importance?
Answer:
1. Initial Setting Time: 300 gms of cement is thoroughly mixed with 0.85 times the water for 2
standard consistency and vicat mould is completely filled and top surface is levelled. 1 mm
square needle is fixed to the rod and gently placed over the paste. Then it is freely allowed
to penetrate. In the beginning the needle penetrates the paste completely. As time lapses the
paste start losing its plasticity and offers resistance to penetration. When needle can
penetrate up to 5 to 7 mm above bottom of the paste experiment is stopped and time lapsed
between the addition of water and end if the experiment is noted as initial setting time.

2. Final Setting Time. The square needle is replaced with annular collar. Experiment is 2
continued by allowing this needle to freely move after gently touching the surface of the
paste. Time lapsed between the addition of water and the mark of needle but not of annular
ring is found on the paste. This time is noted as final setting time.

Importance: Initial setting time test is important for transportation, placing and 1
compaction of cement concrete. Initial setting time duration is required to delay the process
of hydration or hardening. Final Setting time gives information that cement lost its
plasticity and now no shape change could be introduced.

Question No. 2: Define the following.

Contour: A contour line is a imaginary line which connects points of equal elevation. Such lines 1
are drawn on the plan of an are after establishing reduced levels of several point in the area.

Station: Any point whose elevation is to be determined is known as station. It is the point where 1
the staff is held not the point where the level is set up.
Bench Mark: A point with known elevation is known as bench mark. It is the reference point for 1
the survey work. Depending upon the permanency and precision BM can be divided in four types.
1. GTS Bench Marks
2. Permanent Bench Marks
3. Arbitrary Bench Marks
4. Temporary Bench Marks
 Horizontal Equivalent: The horizontal distance between two points on two consecutive contour 1
lines for a given slope is known as horizontal equivalent.
Contour Intervals: A contour interval is the vertical distance or difference in elevation 1
between contour lines.

Question No. 3 The following consecutive readings were taken with a level and 4 m levelling staff on the
continuously sloping ground at a common interval of 30 m. The elevation of point A were 520.450 m.
Determine the gradient of the line AB and apply the usual checks.

Question No. 4 Discuss the geological, chemical and Physical classification of stones.
 Geological classification of stone 2+1+2
Based on their origin of formation stones are classified into three main groups—Igneous,
sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
o Igneous Rocks:
 These rocks are formed by cooling and solidifying of the rock masses from
their molten magmatic condition of the material of the earth.
 Generally igneous rocks are strong and durable.
 Granite, trap and basalt are the rocks belonging to this category, Granites
are formed by slow cooling of the lava under thick cover on the top. Hence,
they have crystalline surface. The cooling of lava at the top surface of earth
results into non-crystalline and glassy texture. Trap and basalt belong to this
category.
o Sedimentary Rocks:
 Due to weathering action of water, wind and frost existing rocks
disintegrates. The disintegrated material is carried by wind and water; the
water being most powerful medium. Flowing water deposits its suspended
materials at some points of obstacles to its flow. These deposited layers of
materials get consolidated under pressure and by heat. Chemical agents also
contribute to the cementing of the deposits. The rocks thus formed are more
uniform, fine grained and compact in their nature. They represent a bedded
or stratified structure in general. Sand stones, lime stones, mud stones etc.
belong to this class of rock.
 o Metamorphic Rocks:
 Previously formed igneous and sedimentary rocks undergo changes due to
metamorphic action of pressure and internal heat. For example, due to
metamorphic action granite becomes greisses, trap and basalt change to
schist and laterite, lime stone changes to marble, sand stone becomes
quartzite and mud stone becomes slate.
 Physical Classification Based on the structure, the rocks may be classified as:
o Stratified Rocks: These rocks are having layered structure. They possess planes of
stratification or cleavage. They can be easily split along these planes. Sand stones,
lime stones, slate etc. are the examples of this class of stones.
o Unstratified Rocks: These rocks are not stratified. They possess crystalline and
compact grains. They cannot be split in to thin slab. Granite, trap, marble etc. are
the examples of this type of rocks.
o Foliated Rocks: These rocks have a tendency to split along a definite direction only.
The direction need not be parallel to each other as in case of stratified rocks. This
type of structure is very common in case of metamorphic rocks.
 Chemical Classification On the basis of their chemical composition engineers prefer to
classify rocks as:
o Silicious rocks: The main content of these rocks is silica. They are hard and
durable. Examples of such rocks are granite, trap, sand stones etc.
o Argillaceous rocks: The main constituent of these rocks is argil i.e., clay. These
stones are hard and durable but they are brittle. They cannot withstand shock. Slates
and laterites are examples of this type of rocks.
o Calcareous rocks: The main constituent of these rocks is calcium carbonate.
Limestone is a calcareous rock of sedimentary origin while marble is a calcareous
rock of metamorphic origin.
