This document contains the Maharashtra Civil Engineering Services Main Examination 2009 Paper II question paper. The exam, conducted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), covers Civil Engineering topics and is divided into sections. Paper II includes questions on surveying, materials like cement and bricks, construction elements such as staircases, structural design principles differentiating load-bearing and frame structures, and estimation techniques. Specific topics covered include plane tabling, aerial photo interpretation, reverse curves, triangulation, Portland cement ingredients, brick earth characteristics, plastering objectives, dog-legged staircase design, acoustical defects, traps (P, Q, S), advantages of steel over timber trusses, dewatering methods like the well-point system, and approximate estimation for multi-storeyed residential buildings. The paper allows 3 hours to complete and is worth a maximum of 200 marks, with questions carrying specific marks indicated against them. Use of log-tables and non-programmable calculators is permitted, but IS codes and steel table codes are not allowed. Candidates are instructed to solve one question from each sect
