What is zero air void line in soil?
VoiD
The Zero air void line is obtained on a Dry Density v/s Water Content graph. It represents the relationship between water/moisture content and dry density. The zero air void line doesn't intersect the curve attained on Dry density v/s Water content graph because soil can never achieve zero void condRead more
The Zero air void line is obtained on a Dry Density v/s Water Content graph. It represents the relationship between water/moisture content and dry density.
The zero air void line doesn’t intersect the curve attained on Dry density v/s Water content graph because soil can never achieve zero void condition with any kind of compaction.

While Tender is the large document which contains all specific and general terms and conditions (it is more like a contract wherein it has clauses and sections).
Quotation is a part of the tender and it just includes the statement which sets the prices for a particular work for which the tender is called for.
The Tender is called by the Gov/Organisation/Company for some work whereas Quotation is estimated cost which will be incurred, submitted by the bidder to these institutions which call the tender

VoiD
Poisson's ratio is the negative of the ratio of lateral strain to axial strain (Negative because of the decrease in the lateral measurement) Hence higher the Poisson's Ratio greater is its ability to withstand the load, hence greater is its strength.

VoiD
The hydrostatic force acts on the walls of the water tank. The intensity of the force depends on the submerged depth of the point on the wall.
