Previous IES Papers With Solutions

Hii sir, I am Preparing for the IES Examination Will you Please provide me Previous year Question Paper IES Examination of Civil Engineering ?

[Rajkumar Agarwal]

UPSC Conducts the IES Examination for recruiting Engineers to the posts in Railway, Defense, Central Engineering Service, Telecommunication service, Supply service etc

The Indian Engineering Service examination is conducted in 4 disciplines viz:

Category I‐Civil Engineering.
Category II‐Mechanical Engineering.
Category III‐Electrical Engineering.
Category IV‐Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering


the Question Paper of the IES Civil Engineering is given below

(a) shear only (b) tension only
(c) bending only (d) shear as well as tension
Ans: (a)

An ISMB 500 is used as a beam in a multistory construction. From the viewpoint of structural design,it can be considered to be ‘laterally restrained’ when
(a) the tension flange is laterally restrained
(b) the compression flange is laterally restrained
(c) the web is adequately stiffened
(d) the conditions in both (a) and (c) are met.

Ans: (b)

A steel column pinned at both ends has a buckling load of 200kN, If the column is
restrained against lateral movement at its mid-height, its buckling load will be
(a) 200 kN (b) 283 kN (c) 400 kN (d) 800 kN
Ans: (d)


Consider the following provisions to possibly improve the shear capacity of a steel
girder:
1. Horizontal stiffeners
2. Vertical stiffeners
3. Column splice
4. Bearing stiffeners
Which of these are correct?
(a) 1,2,3 and 4 (b) 3 and 4 only
(c) 1 and 2 only (d) 2 and 3 only
Ans: (c)


In a steel plate girder, the web plate is connected to the flange plates by fillet welding.
The size of fillet welds is designed to safely resist.
(a) the bending stresses in the flanges
(b) the vertical shear force at the section
(c) the horizontal shear forces between the flanges and the web plate
(d) the forces causing buckling in the web
Ans: (c)


. Deflection limitations over beams are imposed because excessive deflection may cause
(a) undesirable twisting and distortion of end connections
(b) problems in drainage system
(c) psychological effect on users
(d) All of the above
Ans: (d)

In laced columns, end tie-plates are provided to
(a) check the buckling of column
(b) keep the column components in position
(c) check the distortion of column sections at ends because of unbalanced horizontal
force from lacings.
(d) prevent rotation of elements.
Ans: (c)

For heavy vibrating loads in industrial buildings, the roof trusses are provided with
(a) diagonal bracing in the plane of lower chord members.
(b) diagonal bracing in the plane of upper chord members.
(c) knee bracing
(d) sway bracing
Ans: (a)

Which of the following elements of a pitched roof industrial steel building primarily
resists lateral load parallel to the ridge?

Ans: (a)

Purlins are to be chosen for a roof truss of 20 m spam, 4 m rise. Trusses are spaced at 4.5m centre-to-centre. A most efficient design results from the use of

(a)angle sections
(b) channel sections
(c) circular hollow sections
(d) square hollow sections
Ans: (b)

Which of these statements are correct?
(a) 1,2 and 3 only
(b) 1,3 and 4 only
(c) 2,3 and 4 only
(d) 1,2,3 and 4
Ans: (d)

Torsion reinforcement provided at the corners of a two-way slab
