Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The purpose of the dowel bar is to effectively transfer the load between two concrete slabs and to keep the two slabs in same height.
Statement II : The dowel bars are provided in the direction of the traffic (longitudinal)
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Cutback bitumen is defined as the bitumen. the viscosity of which is reduced by a volatile diluents.
Statement II : The lower grade cutback like RC-1 would be less viscous as compared to the higher grade cutback like RC-4.
In the light of the above statements. choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

In a cement concrete pavement. the width of expansion joint is 2.5 cm. The coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete is given as $$10 \times 10^{-6}$$ per °C. If the laying temperature is 15 °C and the maximum slab temperature during summer is 55 °C. then the spacing between expansion joints should be _____________

The permissible flexural stress in a dowel bar of diameter 'd' is '$$F_f$$' and the permissible bending stress in concrete used in the pavement is '$$F_b$$'. In order to obtain balanced design for equal capacity in bending and bearing, the length of embedment of the dowel bar ‘$$L_d$$’ to be provided at a joint of with $$\delta$$ can be expressed as _______________

Based on the recommendations of the Indian Road Congress (IRC) for CBR method of design of pavement. identify the incorrect statement.

Three coplanar forces acting in different direction upon a particle keep it in equilibrium. One of the forces has a magnitude of 10 N and acts towards North. The second force acts towards South-West. What should be the magnitude of the third force if it acts towards East.

Under an axial load. a circular steel rod experiences a longitudinal strain of 0.0003536 and a lateral strain of 0.0000884. The volumetric strain experienced by the rod should be equal to ____________

The Young’s modulus and the modulus of rigidity for a material are given as $$1.2 \times 10^5$$ N/mm$$^2$$ and $$4.8 \times 10^4$$ N/mm$$^2$$ respectively. The value of Bulk modulus for this material should be equal to _______________

What will be magnitude of effort (P) required at the end of a crow bar, as shown in the figure, to lift a load of 1000 N on the other end.

An air vessel is 2.0 m long and is 1 em thick. It has an external diameter of 45 cm. What will be the change in length of the vessel if it is subjected to the longitudinal and circumferential stresses of 11.25 MN/m? and 22.5 MN/m?, respectively?
