  1. The abrupt change or junction between two ecological zones is termed as

    An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. An ecological niche is the role and position a species has in its environment; how it meets its needs for food and shelter, how it survives, and how it reproduces. A species’ niche includes all of its interactions with the biotic and abiotic factors of its environment. An ecotype is a distinct form or race of a plant or animal species occupying a particular habitat. An ecotone is a transition area between two biomes. It is where two communities meet and integrate. It may be narrow or wide, and it may be local (the zone between a field and forest) or regional (the transition between forest and grassland ecosystems).

    Correct Option: D

  1. The load on a RCC column is 150 kN. The soil bearing capacity is 80kN/m2. Assuming a factor of safety of 1.2, the side of the square column footing is ______ meter (rounded off to one decimal place).









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Load on column = 150 kN
    Design load considering factor of safety = 150 × 1.2 = 180 kN
    Soil bearing capacity = 80 kN/m2

    Area of footing required =
    180
    = 2.25 sq m
    80

    Side of footing = √2.25 = 1.5 meter

    Correct Option: C
