The story attached to this channel is unbelievable.

Thank yopu very much. This is of immense help .

Thank you for the lecture ! Just a doubt at 52:12 where the first rectangle's width is 4.7 kPa should be from 0 to 4 m depth and for bottom 2 m shouldn't it be 3.6 kPa(Ka2*surcharge) ??

why all vertical stresses need to be converted to their equivalent mean stresses in CSM?

thank you for the lectures

Hey sir, lve the videos, going to help me pass my class! At 24.49, how do you solve for your friction angle when its on both sides of the equation, I'm struggling with isolating thw angle to solve for it. Thanks!

This Video is so cool and thank you for this video.

That's really amazing. Thanks ❤

There’s no way this could have been explained better. 🎉

Are you asthmatic patient? Those breathes are heavy

Amazing video on CSM, thank you !!!!!

question: In your example, you used the moist unit weight of 110 pcf to calculate the total stress at 10 feet. Sometimes I have seen examples where both dry and moist unit wights are given or dry unit weight and % moisture are given. One solution in one problem uses the dry unit weight to calculate total stress. In a similar problem elsewhere the author uses the moist unit weight to calculate the total stress without an explanation why. If you had a problem with both dry and moist unit weight for a layer given, which one would you use to calculation both total and effective stresses? I believe moist unit weight makes more sense since soils are hardly dry from practical point of view.

Thanks for this, good clarification. Although I'd be interested in how you obtain Kv vertical acceleration coefficient

41:30 What do you do AFTER getting the correct stress path according to the field condition?

Awesome lecture on this topic.

thanks, 2024 omaha nebraska

Good Job!

Gracias, una clase magistral 😊

Lecturar name?

Hey, Kevin. Thank you so much for all the videos, and hope you are doing well. 🙂 Can you share the videos 6-10 in this class?

Awesome explanation. Been stuck on an assignment and this video helped me understand it.

I never liked Geotechnical/Soil Mechanics, BUT after listening to your lectures I am loving it… because I really understand it! Thank you so much. Your students are lucky to have you as their professor. Thank you so much for making your lectures available to everyone. 🙏🙂

Bro just speaking normally, so annoying when you keep pausing...

Hello Dr. Frank. This is great work. would it be possible you can share the unlocked Excel file?

Never calc the Area like this. I think I computed it all in one step.

Thank you for the great class

I don't see any difference between Critical Void Ratio line (Casagrande) and Steady State Line (Castro) from the way that you explained them: both include states (effective confining pressure, void ratio) that loose soil reaches to at the end of their shearing. Please clarify.

Thank you, 2024 india, manipur.

I'm about to start my MS in Civil Engineering at USC. Your video might be a good kick start for my first year.

what happen if the soil is NP for the correction for the Su of the VST?

why the ssl is below the cvr?

I have a question. If we have two UU test (or two CU with the same isotropic effective stress) in the lab, and I apply two differents path, for example, one increasing sigma 1 and sigma 3 is constant, and the another one decreasing sigma 3 and sigma 1 constant, the value of qf will be the same? I know that it will be in the Kf line, but i have the quetion because i don't know if it posible that two UU test (the same material and effective stress) can have two values of Su (kpa) due to the path. Thank You!

This is a great lecture! It supports my assumptions of how overly conservative retaining wall design is particularly in the residential construction industry.

Excellent Teacher!!!!

Thank you , Dr. Frankie, much appreciated 🎉

thank you old man

sir, in academic license baseline correction and filtering options are not available, please guide?

Good Job

Your lectures are incredible. The pacing and tone is simultaneously comforting and enthralling

hello sir i need this soil mechanic lectuers slides can u help me? please!

Returning to the engineering realm after a 20-year break. This is so helpful for getting back up to speed. Thank you!

Happy 13th Birthday Russell Franke 🥳🙏🙌👏😊🤝🎂🎁🎊🎉🎈

Civil engineer is a bridge that connect different town cities and societies

dear Dr Franke. i really love your lecture so i hope i can see ur lecture 6 to 10. would really help me alot. thanks :)

Hey, do you have a video on deep soil or shake?

Very good video. I’m in a graduate geotech class and a lot of these concepts are bit rusty for me. You explain it all in a very concise and thorough way that is understandable.
