JNTU B.Tech IV ESTIMATION, QUANTITY SURVEYING AND VALUATION Previous Question Paper (December - 2019 - R16)
Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B. Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.
PART-A
Explain about items of work (i) Earthwork and (ii) Damp proof course.
Answer
(i) Earthwork involves excavation of soil for foundations, trenches, or leveling sites, measured in cubic meters (cum). (ii) Damp Proof Course (DPC) is a layer of water-repellent material (like bitumen or cement concrete) provided at plinth level to prevent moisture rising into walls, measured in square meters (sqm).
What is an approximate estimate? Write its limitations
Answer
An approximate estimate (preliminary estimate) is a rough cost calculation prepared before detailed drawings are finalized to determine the financial feasibility of a project. Limitations: It lacks precision, does not account for detailed material specifications, and may vary significantly from the actual cost, making it unsuitable for tendering or construction execution.

The formation width of a road embankment is 9.0m. The side slopes are 2.5:1. The depths along the center line of road at 50.0m intervals are 1.2, 1.1, 1.4, 1.2, 0.9, 1.5 and 1.0.m. It is required to calculate the quantity of earthwork by:
a) Prismoidal rule.
b) Trapezoidal rule.
Answer

Estimate the cost of earthwork for a portion of a road from the following data: by using “Mean Sectional Area Method”. Road width at the formation surface is 8m. Side slopes 2:1 in banking and 1.5:1 in cutting. Length of chain is 30m. Formation Level is 70.0 at 20th chainage.
| Chainage | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ground Level | 71.20 | 71.25 | 70.90 | 71.25 | 70.80 | 70.45 | 70.20 | 70.35 | 69.10 | 69.45 | 69.70 |
Upward Gradient 1 in 200. The rates of earthwork as Rs. 275 per % Cum in banking and Rs. 350 per % Cum in cutting.

Prepare a detailed estimate of a RCC roof slab of 3m clear span and 6m long from the given drawings. RCC work including shuttering and centering and steel reinforcement in detail shall be taken separately. Also, prepare a schedule of bars. Take cost of RCC work excluding steel and its bending but including centering and shuttering and binding of steel = Rs.800/- per cu.m. and cost of steel bars (mild steel) including its bending = Rs.700/- per quintal.
