3. A road is provided with a horizontal circular curve having deflection angle of 55� and centre line radius of 250 m. A transition curve is to be provided at each end of the circular curve of such a length that the rate of gain of radial acceleration is 0.3 m/s³ at a speed of 50 km per hour. Length of the transition curve required at each of the ends is

Options
A. tensile and compression properties.

5. A footing 2 m x 1 m exerts a uniform pressure of 150 kN/m² on the soil. Assuming a load dispersion of 2 vertical to 1 horizontal the average vertical stress (kN/m²) at 1.0 m below the footing is
Options

6. Two completely penetrating wells are located L (in metres) apart, in homogeneous confined aquifer. The drawdown measured at the mid point between the two wells (at a distance of 0.5 L from both the wells) is 2.0 m when only the first well is being pumped at the steady rate of Q₁ m³/sec. When both the wells are being pumped at identical steady rate of Q₂ m³/sec, the drawdown measured at the same location is 8, 0 m. It may be assumed that the drawdown at the wells always remains at 10.0 m when being pumped and the radius of influence is larger than 0.5 L Q₁/Q₂ is equal to

B. 4/3
C. 5/8
D. ln (L/2)
