1. (a) From the given velocity components:

x y

R
Substituting these values in the three-dimensional continuity equation
u v w
E

x y z
w

T
z
which upon integration gives:
S

w = – 2 (x + y) z + integration constant. The constant of integration may be just a numerical constant


or a function which is independent of z. Omiting this constant, the third component of velocity may be
prescribed as:
A

w = – 2(x + y) z

(ii) For the flow to be irrotational, curl V = 0, i.e.,   × V  = 0

1. (c) The ratio of the water available for use to the water applied is defined as irrigation efficiency.
Various types of irrigation efficiencies are:
M

(1) Water Conveyance Efficiency (c )


It is defined as the ratio of the quantity of water delivered to the fields or the irrigated land to the quantity
of water diverted into the canal system from the river or reservoir.
Thus, if W f is the quantity of water delivered to the field and W r is the quantity of water diverted into
S

the canal system from the river or reservoir then


Wf
c = W  100
IE

Note : The water conveyance efficiency accounts for the water losses which occurs in conveyance from
the point of diversion into the canal system to the fields.

(2) Water Application Efficiency (a )


It is defined as the ratio of the quantity of water stored in the root zone of the plants to the quantity
of water delivered to the field.
Thus if W s is the quantity of water stored in the root zone and W f is the quantity of water delivered
Ws
to the field then a = W  100
f

Note: The water application efficiency therefore accounts for the water losses which occur during the
application of irrigation water to the field. the common sources of loss of water during its application
to the field are surface runoff from the field and deep percolation.

CE (FLT-03), ESE Conventional Test Series Paper-II, 14th November 2021 (3)
Thus, if Rf is the quantity of water lost as surface runoff from the field and Df is the quantity of water
lost due to deep percolation to a level far below the root zone, then

W f = W s + Rf + Df

Wf  (R f  D f )
and a   100
Wf

e.g., In the case of sprinkler irrigation method the water application efficiency may be as high as 80%
while in the case of a surface irrigation method it may not exceed 60%.

(3) Water Use Efficiency (u )

It is defined as the quantity of water used beneficially including the water required for leaching to the
quantity of water delivered.

R
Thus, if W u is the quantity of water used beneficially and W f is the quantity of water delivered to the
Wu

E
field then u =  100
Wf

(4) Water storage Efficiency (s )


T
It is defined as the ratio of the quantity of water stored in the root zone during irrigation to the quantity
of water needed to bring the moisture content of the soil to the field capacity.
S
Thus, if W s is the quantity of water stored in the root zone during irrigation and W n is the quantity of
water needed to bring the moisture content of the soil to the field capacity (i.e., W n = Field capacity
A
– Available moisture in the soil prior to irrigation), then
Ws
s = W  100
M

Note : The presence of excess salts in the soil would require that water storage efficiency should be
high in order to keep the salts washed out of the soil.

(5) Water Distribution Efficiency (d )


S

It is determined from the following expression


 y
d  1    100
IE

 d
where, ‘y’ is the average numerical deviation in depth of water stored from the average depth of water
‘d’ stored in the root zone during irrigation.
 Water distribution efficiency evaluates the degree to which water is uniformly distributed throughout
the root zone during irrigation and hence it is also known as uniformity coefficient.

 Higher is the value of d , more uniformly is the water distributed in the root zone which in turn
will result in a better crop response.

(6) Consumptive use Efficiency (cu )

It is defined as the ratio of the normal consumptive use of water to the net amount of water depleted
from the root zone.

Thus, if W cu (or Cu or Etc ) is the normal consumptive use of water or evapotranspiration and W d is the
net amount of water depleted from the root zone then

cu =  100

Note : The consumptive use efficiency, therefore, accounts for the loss of water by deep percolation
and any excessive evaporation following an irrigation.

2. (a) (ii) Selection of site of a cross-drainage work: The following points should be considered while selecting
A
the site of a cross-drainage work.
1. At the site, the drainage should cross the canal alignment at right angles. Such a site provides
good flow conditions and also the cost of the structure is usually a minimum.
M

2. The stream at the site should be stable and should have stable banks.
3. For economical design and construction of foundations, a firm and strong sub-stratum should exit
below the bed of the drainage at a reasonable depth.
4. The site should be such that long and high approaches of the canal are not required.
S

5. The length and height of the marginal banks and guide banks for the drainage should be small.
6. In the case of an aqueduct, sufficient headway should be available between the canal trough and
IE

the high flood level of the drainage.


7. The water table at the site should not be high, because it will create dewatering problems for
laying foundations.,
8. As far as possible, the site should be selected D/s of the confluence of two streams. Thereby
avoiding the necessity of construction of two cross-drainage works.

 It is also known as pressure relief valve or cut-off valve or saftey valve.


 The power of the spring of the valve is so adjusted that the valve always remains in closed position
up to some permissible water pressure in the pipe line.
 When the pressure of the water suddenly exceeds the permissible pressure due to water hammer
phenomenon, then the valve is opened automatically and the excess pressure is released
instantaneousy. Thus the pipe line is protected from bursting.

increase in water content results in a decrease in dry unit weight. This limiting water content is
known as the optimum moisture content.

Typically, an increase in compactive effort reduces the optimum moisture content and produces an
increase in the maximum dry unit weight to which a soil can be compacted.
It is to be noted here that
 The typical inverted V shape of a compaction curve applies only to soil possessing some amount of
plasticity
 In case of pure sandy soils, the maximum dry unit weight is obtained either when the soil is completely
dry or at complete saturation condition.

7. (c) Methods of tunnelling in Rock
 The method of attacking the faces of tunnel will depend upon size and shape of tunnel, available
M

equipment, the type of formation etc.


 The popular methods are
(a) Full face method
(b) Heading and bench method
S

(c) Drift method


1. Full face Method
IE

 Full face method means the whole section of the tunnel is attacked at the same time.
 It is suitable for tunnels of small cross-section area say upto 3 m diameter
 With the development of jumboo or drill carriage this method is frequently used for the larger
diameter tunnels.
Advantages
 As full section has to be attacked , the work is expedited.
 Mucking track could be laid progressively, along with the tunnelling.
 Tunnelling is continuous.
Disadvantages
 Full face attack requires heavy mechanical equipment.
 Method may not be 7possible for the unstable rocks.
 Limited for short spans.

it is widened.
A

 This method is called drift method.


 If also helps in ventilation of the tunnel.
M

Advantages
(i) Permits correction measures in case of presence of excessive waters.
(ii) Drift helps in providing ventilation of tunnels.
(iii) Quantity of explosive required is less
S

(iv) Installation of timber supports becomes easy.


Disadvantages
IE

(i) Driving the main bore is delayed until the drift portion is completed.
(ii) Cost of drilling and mucking in small drift is higher.
(iii) Not suitable for large tunnels and difficult rocks.
Drift may be defined as
(a) Centre drift (b) Side drift

7. (d) Breakwaters :
 A breakwater is a structure which reflects and dissipates the force of wind generated waves.
S

 A breakwaters is a structure constructed to form an artificial harbour with the purpose of protecting
an area from the effect of sea waves so that ships can safely be moored in that area.
 A breakwaters, which substitute a quay wall and which can be used as a platform for loading and
IE

unloading cargo in calm water is known as a mole.


 The height of breakwaters depends upon its purpose, extent of enclosed water area and the
nature of existing shipping work.
 Generally, breakwaters height is kept equivalent to 1.2 to 1.25 times of the height of the wave
expected above the high water level.
 The breakwaters should be so designed that waves do not break on the wall.
Types of Breakwaters
Breakwaters are of three types
1. Vertical sided 2. Rubble mound 3. Composite
Forces Acting on a Breakwater :
A breakwater has to resist the forces set up by waves impinging upon it. The forces include the
following:

Web. : iesmasterpublications.com, iesmaster.org
CE (FLT-03), ESE Conventional Test Series Paper-II, 14th November 2021 (27)
1. Hydrostatic pressure due to the rise in the level of wave on the sea sides of the wall up to the
crest of the wave. It can cause shearing of bed-joints and overturning of structure
2. Hydrostatic pressure due to fall in the level on the seaside of the wall upto the trough of the wave.
3. Uplift pressure due to difference in level of water on two sides of wall. It can cause overturning
4. Hydrostatic pressure caused by braking waves.
5. Complex forces developed by the onrush and down-rush of waves on a sloping surface.
Vertical Sided Breakwater :
Mean high water
 A vertical sided breakwater is a wall built with stone masonry, spring tide
concrete blocks or caissons.
 It can also be constructed with two walls of sheet piles and
the area between the walls filled with concrete subsequently. Mean low water
spring tide

R
 Vertical sided breakwaters are preferably found on rock so
that scour is avoided.
The top width is made at least equal to the height of the

E

maximum wave.
Rubble Mound Breakwater :

 The mount consists of three parts :
T
These are the most common types of breakwaters. They are constructed with stone rubble.
S
1. The armour (or cover)
2. The first under-layer
A
3. The second under-layer (or core)
 The stability of the section depends upon the weight and shape of the armour block, the interlock between
individual blocks and the slopes to which they are laid. Heavy blocks are the best. Weights of individual stones
M

in the armour can be as high as 5T to 10T.


 The under-layer is made up of stones weighing roughly one-tenth the weight of the stones in the armour. The
core is composed of small stones having individual weights, 1/200 to 1/6000 of the armour stones.
 The slope on the seaward side is in the range of 1 in 1.25 to 1 in 2. The slope on the protected basin side
S

is around 1 in 1.5.
 Very good interlock can be obtained by tetrapods, quadripods, hexapods etc., which are placed “pell-mell”.
Tetrapods have been used for the protection of the sea wall at marine Drive in Bombay.
IE


 It is preferred in places where durable rock is available in plenty at economical cost.

Tetrapod used for Armour Breakwater

Note: Mound type break water results in less damage (due to gradual failure) than wall type breakwater.

8. (a) (i) Quick Sand Condition


 In case of upward seepage flow, if the upward seepage force becomes equal to the buoyant
weight of soil, the effective stress in soil becomes zero.
 In such a case, contact force between grains becomes zero and a soil such as sand looses all
its shearing strength.
 This condition is called quick sand condition or boiling of sand because surface of sand looks
as if it is boiling.
 It is to be noted that quick sand is not a sand; it is a hydraulic condition
 Quick sand condition occurs in sand but not in clay because it has cohesion (c) due to which
some shear strength is still present even when effective stress becomes zero.
 In practice, quick sand condition occurs when excavation is being made below water table and
water is being pumped out from excavation pit to keep area free from water.

R
 Quick sand condition generally does not occur in coarse sand because in equation Q = K.i.A,
for i to be more, Q has to be much more because K is large for coarse sand. This large seepage

8. (b) Advantages of tidal basins:
(i) T
Vessels can come in an berth or leave at all times. Thus, there is speedy and unrestricted arrival
and departure of ships.
S
(ii) Costly arrangements like lock gates for the closing of the entrances are not required.
Disadvantages of tidal basins:
A
(i) If the range of tide is more, the operations of loading and unloading are seriously affected.
(ii) The fluctuations of water level will cause the rubbing of sides of ships against the berths.
M

The wet docks are useful under the following situations:


(i) In some harbours, there may be heavy silting. The wet dock area is kept free by keeping out the
turbid water and supplying to it only clear water.
(ii) Where there is considerable difference of leve in tides, the ships can enter the wet dock even
though the harbour itself may not be navigable.

8. (c) Raster data This is a series of cells or dots or pixels that represent an image (see figure) Refer data
is obtained when you scan a paper image, blueprint, or photograph. The raster data is a series of cells
IE

to which values are assigned. This column-row format is used to represent geographic data and other
images. Quality of raster data depends upon the cell size. Small size cells increase the reliability
because there are more values to represent the image details. Raster models are simple to create and
use.
Vector data This consists of points, lines and polylines, and arcs. This is similar to traditional approach
of representing objects in a map. They form a group of mathematical equations that generate points,
lines, a series of lines or arcs. Points are represented by coordinates.
Lines are represented by a series of points having coordinates related by an equation. Polylines are
a series of interconnected lines which can be used to create an object. Arcs are smilar to lines and
can be created by a set of points with coordinate pairs. Each one of these basic entities can be given
a name or label.
