This document contains the Previous Year Question Paper for the Maharashtra Civil Engineering Services Main Examination held in 2007 for Paper II. The paper, code 006312, is for Civil Engineering and has a duration of 3 hours with a maximum of 200 marks. It consists of descriptive questions divided into sections A, B, and C. Section A covers topics like surveying (traverse calculations, two-point problem, contour lines) and photogrammetry (tachometry, transition curves, satellite stations). Section B focuses on building materials and construction, including defects in paintings, seasoning methods, cement testing, fire protection systems, building ventilation, and regulations. Section C deals with geotechnical engineering and structural elements, such as safe bearing capacity, plate loading tests, brick masonry, bonding, steel vs. timber trusses, and damp proofing of roofs. The paper requires candidates to solve one question from each section, make suitable assumptions, and use non-programmable calculators. Log tables are permitted, but IS codes and steel table codes are not. The exam is conducted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC).
