Que. Bloom’s Questions Relevance to
No. Level CO
1 Define the term maintenance and also state its importance.

Marking Scheme
The process of preserving a condition or situation or state of being preserved is called as
maintenance.
Importance of maintenance-
i) It improves service life of structure and durability.
ii)It enables timely identification of deterioration that may prevents collapse of structure.
iii)It increases better appearance and aesthetically appearing.
Answer iv)It ensures security and feeling confidence of asset by users.
2 Write the salient features of routine maintenance.
Marking Scheme
i)It is a routine for periodically inspecting with goal of noticing small problems and fixing them
before major one.
ii)To prevent most complicated failure and reduce risk of accidents.
iii)It is classified based on time, failure finding, conditions, risk performed in accordance with pre-
determined plan.

iv) To prevent deterioration of building parts by fungus, insect-attack, water drainage, heavy usage,
accidental damage and other concerns.
v)It includes partial or complete overhauls at specific period such as adjustment , part replacement,
cleaning, oil change, lubrication and minor alteration etc.
3. When and where retrofitting technique is used.

Marking Scheme
i)Retrofitting is enhancing the resistance of damaged or weak structure by appropriate technique to
protect from flooding or other hazards such as high winds and earthquakes.
ii)It is used in tropical cyclones, tornadoes and severe winds from thunderstorms.
iii)it is used after manufacturing something.
iv) it entails modifying or repairing structure system.
Answer
4. State the differentiation between deferred maintenance and emergency maintenance.

safety.
iii) ex. Cracked foundation, peeling paint, iii) ex.flood near an electrical system, machine

iv) it is also called as backlog maintenance. iv)
5. State the effect on performance of structure, when maintenance and repairs are neglected.
Marking Scheme 4mk

i)To loss of strength or early aging and ultimately building may fail.
ii)Reduces value of existing public buildings.

iii)it increases budgets for untreated maintenance faults.

iv)Increased costs for emergency repairs.
Answer
6. Define restoration and rehabilitation.
Marking Scheme 2mk
Restoration- It is an act or process of returning to its original condition or to a state similar
to its original condition.
Ex. Fixing an old house to its original state.
Rehabilitation- process of making optimum use of property through repairs, alterations and
additions while preserving portions or features.
Ex. Provide additional reinforcing bars.
Answer
7. List the information to be recorded in maintenance manual.
Marking Scheme 2mk
i) Environment controls
ii)Security and safety system
iii)Warrantee certificates
iv)Bill of quantity
v) information of path and location
vi)Location of rain water pipes
Answer vii)Sanitary and drainage lines
viii)Telephone lines
ix)Types of maintenance is required
8. State any four objectives of building maintenance.

10. State and explain in brief, any four parameters to be considered while designing the repair of
concrete structures.
Marking Scheme
1.current load distribution-

Answer
2.Compatibility of materials-
Must be design for extra movement.

3.Creep, Shrinkage-
Deformations.
4. Vibration-
When placed repair material is in a plastic state or until adequate strength has been developed,
vibration of a structure during repair of other parts can result in reduced bonding of repair material.
5.Water and vapor migration-
Water or vapor migration through a concrete structure can degrade a repair and its control is
essential for success of the repair.
6.Safety –
In general, the contractor is responsible for construction safety but major safety measures like need

and extent of shoring and bracing must be decided by engineer.

7.Material behavior characteristics- Sometimes the repair material may have totally different
properties than original one.
