Lok Sewa Aayog Civil Engineering Exam Question Paper ( 2080-10-20 )– Technical Subject

Lok Sewa Aayog Civil Engineering Question Paper | PSC Nepal

 If you are preparing for the Lok Sewa Aayog (PSC) Nepal Civil Engineering exam, here is a complete set of Technical Subject questions from the written examination. This question paper will help students, engineers, and aspirants to understand the exam pattern and important topics.

Section – A (30 Marks)

1. Define simply supported and cantilever beams. Derive maximum bending moment for the beams in uniformly loaded condition. (2+8=10)

2. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of prestressed concrete. (10)

3. What forces should we consider while designing the retaining wall to stabilize the slope during road construction in hills? Enumerate. (10)

Section – B (25 Marks)

4. What is a Unit Hydrograph (UH)? How do you estimate design flood using UH? Mention. (5)

5. Assume that you are assigned with a responsibility of investigating a case of failure of a bridge immediately after its construction. What steps would you follow to investigate whether hydrology is a potential cause of the failure? Illustrate the steps with appropriate examples. Also, show a template of report (with notes on expected contents under different chapters/sub-chapters) of such investigation to submit to a higher authority. (7+3=10)

6. What are the differences between a weir and a barrage? What factors govern the design of a weir or a barrage? Explain. (4+6=10)

Section – C (25 Marks)

7. Why is selecting the runway length important in airport? Mention. What factors influence the length of a runway in airport design? State. (5)

8. Describe the factors to be considered in design of pavements. Explain about CBR method of flexible pavement design. (6+4=10)

9. What are the design criteria for designing a rigid pavement in a highway construction? Elucidate. Specify the conditions where rigid pavement is applicable. (10)

Section – D (20 Marks)

10. Draw a schematic diagram of a Gravity flow water supply scheme and explain the function of each part. (5)

11. Ideally, water supply system should run for 24 hours and 365 days a year. This system is known as Continuous Water Supply System (CWS). But because of various reasons, many cities supply water few hours of a day or even per week. This system is called Intermittent Water Supply System (IWS). There is an agreement that CWS system is better than IWS in terms of network’s durability and maintaining the water quality. Why the network’s durability and water quality are compromised in IWS? Explain the reasons. (5)

12. Point out the sources of water supply in Nepal. Describe the standard of drinking water quality prescribed by WHO. Also, clarify the processes for treatment of water. (2+4+4=10)
