Civil Engineering Interview Questions - 6









1. What is scale? What are the different scales adopted for drawings?
     Ans: Scale is defined as Drawing measurement / Actual measurement. The different scales adopted are    1:100, 1:50, 1:20.

2. What are the different sheet sizes you adopt for drawings?
    Ans: Different drawing paper sizes adopted are: ISO A1, ISO A2, ISO A0 etc.

3. How do you make revision to a drawing and where do you reflect it?
   Ans: Revisions to the drawings are made in the tracing sheets after the drawing is plotted. The revision locations will be mentioned in the revision column on lower central portion of the drawing sheet. The revision number, Date of revision, Name of the person who revised and the Signature of the approving authority will be in revision column.

4. What is the method adopted for storing drawing sheets physically?
     Ans: The drawings are stored in plan filing cabinets for temporary storage. Then the same are rolled and are stored in Cup Boards.

5. What is the time required for exposure in ammonia printing?
    Ans: Time required for ammonia exposure for printing is One minute.

6. How will you differentiate Brick work & RR Masonry?
     Ans: Different hatch patterns are used to identify Brick Work and RR Masonry.
       It is represented below:
                                                       
                 


7. What is a Plan?
     Ans: It is a Horizontal sectional view at sill level.

8. What is a Section?
     Ans: It is a vertical Sectional View.

9. What is the type of Tracing Sheet you are using?
    Ans: The tracing sheets used is of 90 / 95 GSM (grams per square meter) – of size 915 mm X 50000 mm

10. What is a Drawing?
      Ans: Drawing is a universal language of the engineers. Without knowing, one cannot understand the views of engineers. It has its own rules.

11. What is the relation between A0, A1, A2, A3 drawing sizes?
       Ans: The relationship is A0 / 2 = A1, A1 / 2 = A2, A2 / 2 = A3, A3 / 2 = A4.

12. Give dimension of A0, A1 and A2 size drawing sheets?
      Ans: The dimensions are: A0 -1184 X 841 mm, A1 - 841 X 594 mm and A2 - 594 X 420 mm.

13. What are the different components of drawing sheet?
      Ans: Different components of the drawing sheets are: Border lines, Title Block , Notes, Revision columns, Drawing area, Folding Marks, Area identification marks, Drawing Number, Projection angle symbol, Names / Signatures of persons who have Drawn, Designed, Design Checked, Recommended, Approved, Scale, Address, Title of Drawing etc.

14. What are dimension lines?
      Ans: Dimension lines are thin continuous lines with arrow heads / ticks etc at ends indicating the dimension between points.

15. What is an Ammonia print and what is a blue print?
       Ans: Where background of drawing sheet print is white and letters & line work are blue it is called Ammonia print.
Where background of drawing sheet print is blue and letters & line work are white it is called Blue print.

16. What is first angle projection? What is third angle projection?
       Ans:  a. When the object is placed in the 1st quadrant such that it is between the projection plane and the observer, the projections so obtained are called first angle projection.
              b. When the object is placed in the 3rd quadrant and the places of projections are in between the object and the observer, the projections so obtained are called third angle projection.

17. Which projection do you use in preparation of civil drawings?
      Ans: First angle projection is used in preparation of Civil Drawings.

18. What is the speed adjusted for tracing sheets in ammonia printing machine?
       Ans: The speed adjusted is 1.5 / rotations per minute

19. What is the specification for tubes inside printer?
      Ans: Blue Fluorescent Tubes of capacity 40 W.

20. What is the importance of north direction indicator?
      Ans: To obtain and exact information regarding the location of the building with respect to north direction.

21. What is the general building height?
     Ans: The general building height is 3000 mm for Regular buildings, 3500 mm for Office building.

22. What is the proportion of Arrow in a drawing?
       Ans: The proportion of Arrow in a drawing is 1:3

23. What are the different types of scales?
      Ans: Different types of Scales are:
           a. Enlarged scales: When drawings drawn are larger than the actual size, they are known as enlarged  scale.
            b. Reduced scale: When drawings drawn are smaller than actual size, they are known as reduced   scales.

24. What are projection rays?
      Ans: The imaginary rays joining the corners of the object with the observer’s eyes are known as projection rays.

25. What is plane of projection?
      Ans: The plane on which the projection of objects is obtained is called plane of projection.
