  • No tender should pass from one officer to the other in the open condition.
  • Tenders in which the quoted rates seem to be doubtful, under no circumstances should be accepted. Conditional tenders are liable for rejection.
  • No tender for the execution of work should be entertained unless it is accompanied or paid.
  • separately the earliest money as notified in the tender notice.
  • The earnest money of unsuccessful tenders should be refunded as soon as possible after the completion of tenders.
  • Usually, the lowest tender is accepted. except in extraordinary conditions. The acceptance-rejection of a tender is at the discretion of the authorized officer, but the reasons for its rejection should be sound and recorded fully, and kept confidential 
  • Tenders received after due time and date should be rejected after recording "received after date"
  • After opening the tenders. normally negotiations with tenderers should not be carried out.

Limitations of Terzaghi Theory

Limitations of Terzaghi Theory The value of the coefficient of consolidation has been assumed to be constant.  The distance d of the drainage path cannot be measured accurately in the field. The thickness of the deposit is generally variable, and an average value has to be estimated.  There is sometimes difficulty 1n locating the drainage face, and sometimes thin previous seams that can act as good drainage faces are missed in the boring operations. The equation is based on the assumption that the consolidation is one-dimensional. In the field, the consolidation is generally 3-dimensional. The lateral drainage may have a significant effect on the time rate of consolidation. The initial consolidation and secondary consolidation have been neglected. Sometimes these form an important part of the total consolidation. In actual practice, the pressure distribution may be far from linear or uniform.

Comparison between VSI and CSI

Comparison between VSI and CSI In power electronic systems, inverters are an essential component that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). There are two main types of inverters used in power electronic systems: Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) and Current Source Inverters (CSI). Both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which to use depends on the specific application and the desired outcome. Comparisons between voltage source inverters and current source inverters are as follows. In voltage source inverters, the input voltage is maintained constant and the amplitude of the output voltage does not depend on the load. However, the waveform of load current, as well as its magnitude, depends upon the nature of load impedance.  In current source inverters (CSI), the input current is constant but adjustable. The amplitude of output current from CSI is freelance of the load. However, the magnitude of output voltage and its undulation outp
