100 Best Civil Engineering Interview Questions and

Answers for all competitive Quiz questions



Latest 100 Civil Engineering interview Questions
and Answers List

1. What are the causes of building collapse?
The Passage of time is one reason. Buildings also collapse due to weak foundations. Earthquakes,
hurricanes and other natural disasters can also damage the structure of the buildings and cause it to
collapse. Bombings or demolition of buildings is also other reasons.

2. What are the applications of modulus of elasticity?
As the term implies, "Modulus of Elasticity relates to the elasticity or "flexibility" of a material. The
value of modulus of elasticity is very much significant relating to deflection of certain materials used in
the construction industry. Take for example the general E value of mild carbon steel is about 200 GPA
compared to
about 70 GPA for aluminum. This simply translate that aluminum is 3 times flexible than steel.

3. What is the difference between routing maintenance and major maintenance in school facilities?
The routine maintenance is the minor and consistent repairs that are engaged in the school premises.
Examples could include Painting, replacement of fixtures, louver blades, furniture repairs, and
Patching cracks in the school buildings.
The major maintenance could also be a total rehabilitation of the school, either school buildings or any
other project within the school community. It could be total restructuring of the lighting system in the
school or sanitary system.

4. How are freeway bridges built?
After calculating the anticipated traffic for the bridge, cement/reinforced- with- rebar stanchions are
spaced over the freeway to accommodate the bridge. An 'off-ramp' from the freeway to the bridge is
constructed, as is an 'on-ramp' to the subsequent road. Cement/rebar slabs are built and lifted with
cranes to form the
platform, and voila! Drive carefully.
Although the bridge deck/roadway is almost always a concrete slab, the structure that holds up the
bridge deck can be reinforced concrete, structural steel, or a combination of steel and concrete.
