The ingredient to be added to produce Aerated Cement Concrete, is

Gypsum

Sulphur

Calcium chloride

Aluminium

Explanation: In ACC bocks, Aluminium powder is used at a rate of 0.05%–0.08% by volume (depending on the pre-specified density). Aluminum powder reacts with calcium hydroxide and water to form hydrogen. The hydrogen gas foams and doubles the volume of the raw mix creating gas bubbles.

The urban land use model based on the concept of a polycentric city is known as:

Burgess Model

Hagerstrand’s Model

Homer Hoyt’s model

Harris and Ullman model

Explanation: Harris and Ullman argued that cities do not grow around a single nucleus but several separate nuclei. Each nucleus acts like a growth point. The theory was formed based on the idea that people have greater movement due to increased car ownership. The model is suitable for large, expanding cities.

Following five activities are associated with construction contract management. Choose the option showing the correct progressive sequence of the activities.

Opening of Bid
Submission of Security Deposit
Publication of Notice Inviting Tender (NIT)
Issue of Letter of Intent (LOI)
Submission of Earnest Money Deposit (EMD)

R – Q – P – T – S

S – T – P – R – Q

S – P – R – T – Qof Security Deposit

R – T – P – S – Q

Explanation: The first step is ‘Notice Inviting Tender’ which is a public advertisement inviting tenders for a given project. Bidders participating in the tender process are required to submit a deposit to ensure that they do not submit dummy bids – this deposit is termed as ‘earnest money deposit’. Once the bid is opened, the letter of intent is issued to the successful bidder. The successful bidder has to submit a security deposit for the contract.

The book “Architecture through Ages” was written by

Jan Gehl

Peter Wolf

John Marshall

Christopher A

The aim of this book --designed for the general reader as well as for the architect and the student, is to show that buildings are not isolated objects existing arbitrarily in one or another of the recognizable set "styles", but rather the inevitable results of the ways of living, governing, worshiping etc.

Which of the following Green building in India has received a platinum LEED certification

Suzlon one Earth, Pune

Dabur India, Chandigarh

Unitech commercial tower, Chandigarh

Logix cyber park, UP

Suzlon one earth is 100% powered by onsite and offsite renewable sources. The campus has 18 hybrid wind turbines that fulfil 7% of the total energy consumption, the rest of energy demand is met from offsite wind turbines. The structure is designed in a way to ensure maximum daylight exposure thereby reducing artificial lighting consumption. The infrastructure within the campus is designed to enable water percolation and thereby control storm water runoff thus, contributing towards an increased water table level.

In the ancient major cities, Mohenjo-daro or Harappa, the streets were laid out in a perfect

Circular pattern

Zig-zag pattern

Grid pattern

Hexagonal pattern

Town planning was the unique feature of the Indus valley civilisation. Harappan cities were planned with chessboard system or grid pattern. A grid pattern is a network of intersecting parallel lines. A grid pattern, means the streets intersect at right angles.

The main cable of a suspension bridge supports the deck with hangars.
These hangars are equidistant along the length of the bridge and represent a
uniformly distributed load. Assuming the cable to be weightless as compared
to the applied loading, the best approximation of the shape that the cable
takes for this loading is a .

Hyperbolic curve

Catenary curve

Circular arc

Parabolic curve

Explanation: Despite their visual similarities, catenaries and parabolas are two
very different curves, both conceptually and mathematically. A catenary curve is
created by its own weight, pulling down because of gravity. The parabolic curves
of the suspension cable are not created by gravity alone, but also by other forces:
compression and tension acting on it. Also, the weight of the suspension cable is
negligible compared to that of the deck, but it is also supporting the weight of the
deck. This is also another conceptual reason why the suspension cables hang in
a parabolic curve.

The Golden Ratio refers to .

Golden ratio, also known as the golden section, golden mean, or
divine proportion, in mathematics, the irrational number (1 + Square root of√5)/2,
often denoted by the Greek letter ϕ or τ, which is approximately equal to 1.618.

In “The Analysis of Beauty” (1753), William Hogarth identifies, in
contradistinction to “straight lines” and “curved lines,” a “serpentine line” that he
terms the “line of beauty.” According to this theory, S-shaped curved lines signify
liveliness and activity and excite the attention of the viewer as contrasted with
straight lines, parallel lines, or right-angled intersecting lines, which signify stasis,
death, or inanimate objects.
