Build stone arch bridges with ancient technology

[@8ank3r]

Yeah, I heard the romans used a lot of excavators.

[@jfv65]

Yes, those roman excavators were probably slaves. Cheap!

[@ZulhamEfendi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Wolfyjinny]

One famous slave they used was an Irish navvy called Kat O'Pillar

[@YerluvinunclePete]

That dog did a great job of supervising. The project ran beautifully.!

[@vollkrassmann858]

Yes, indeed

[@angelagreen778]

Amazing old school work! No wonder most bridges built this way are still around. Excellent Video!

[@gusgone4527]

Pity the ancients didn't have excavators and tipper trucks to gather raw materials.

[@marinoceccotti9155]

Romans used slaves instead of excavators. Slaves were probably cheaper when bought, but were a lot slower. These romans from South-East Asian however did a great job.

[@larsbkurin1740]

Really nice video. An excavator, a chainsaw and materials. No consultants, no drawings just experience. Think what aid could have done, don't change people but let them be proud of what they can do.

[@johnparkhurst825]

The music is ok but I'd much rather hear the ringig of chains , the excavators diesel engine, and all the other noises associated with this construction

[@ronm3245]

It's like the soundtrack to Ken Burns' "The Civil War." Maybe over on their other channel!

Bravo Messieurs, c'est vous qui méritez la médaille d'or de la construction. 👍👍👍

There would already be 20 different inspectors in damn Russia. Who gave the construction permit, where did the equipment come from, where are the drawings and the bridge design, design loads, where are the documents (payment and receipts) for stone and sand, permission for logging and similar issues.

Should have left the wooden construction pieces intact devided in de few seprate pieces to use them for other bridge projects or for multiple arches in one bridge.... It would save a lot on money later but kost a little extra in the beginning...

На сколько помню, блоки под арку выдалбливались из цельного камня или выливались под опалубку из полимерного бетона, под небольшим углом со с внешней на внутреннюю сторону, создавая таким образом своего рода замок от вываливания блока, имея такой замок, блоки под арку выставлялись без скрепляющего раствора и держаться веками.

[@isaacnguyen6944]

I disagree with this type of video pretending to show a technic then never show the overall plan neither the construction step by step. It is just disjoined sequence without continuity. Seems like 5 different construction sites from 7 different places, for example sand and then green silt.

[@ronm3245]

Instead of Doosans the old cultures used Hoomans.

[@aserta]

shame the put concrete between the stones, if anything, that concrete's going to give this bridge a life span of less than 100 years. Given how extensive the foundation work was, they should've just laid bare stone, worked faces, but bare. Neat work regardless.

I ROMANI utilizzavano il calcestruzzo già 2500 anni fa . E le loro costruzioni sono ancora in piedi

[@jeansentrais9866]

@aserta : Don't worry to much 'cause the Antic Roman ingeneers used cement, of course a special kind of cement : CaOH + pouzzolane (microscopic powder of Al + Si oxyde, coming from volcano) ... pretty strong in permanent water. In fact, here, the cement has not to be a glue between the stones, it only has to fill the space between the stones. The archictural strategy is to use only the gravity, thus the heavy weight of the structure. That's why the "arc-en-plein-ceintre", typically antic roman ...

Вот смотрю это видео и понимаю, что тысячи лет назад точно такой же мост был бы очень красив, был бы сделан из хорошо подогнанных камней. Мало того, в нём не было бы ни грамма цемента. В древности, вот за этот мост - всех рабочих бы повесили. Люди разучились работать с камнем.

[@Lifehackerys]

В древности всё нынешнее население стало бы жуткими колдунами, ведьмами и еретиками, подлежащими самым изощрённым пыткам без права помилования) А мост, судя по траффику не окупился бы никогда, став памятником местному горделивому старосте. Гранит не так просто обрабатывать, к сведению. Даже сейчас сооружения из него весьма дороги и трудоёмки в постройке.

[@MsValentino2]

@@Lifehackerys Глупости. Мы живём в 21 веке. Доступ к информации такой, какого не было никогда у человечества. Это всё, позволяет нам увидеть то, что было тысячи лет назад. Масштаб каменного строительства был чудовищно развит. Остатки старых построек дошли до наших дней. Мало того, видно, что строили не чуть не меньше, чем строим сейчас мы. Строили в большей части именно из камня, и всё у них окупалось. То что строили наши далёкие предки, простояло тысячи лет. Даже прошедшая катастрофа, уничтожившая почти всё, не смогла стереть следы былого великолепия. А что строят сегодня? Все бетонные постройки имеют не такой уж и большой срок службы. Всего 80-100 лет, и бетон деградирует, а в холодном климате бетон живёт 70 лет. ТО что сохранилось от наших предков - до сих пор восхищает красотой и мастерством. А сейчас мастеров почти нет, одни подмастерья и разнорабочие.

И поверьте, волшебным образом, эти криворукие бракоделы - со временем станут мастерами. И больше не будут строить эту порнографию. Вся проблема - в человеческой лени! Человек всегда ленив! Всегда!

[@markadler8968]

I work with stone all the time and let me tell you this thing is absolutely hideous. Granite is literally one of the best stones to work with and they didn't even attempt to chisel it or fit the stones together in an appealing way. On top of that they never tooled the joints or even bothered to scrape the concrete out from between them. As a bridge it functions I guess but to put all that work in and to have it look like a giant turd at the end is an absolute shame.

[@kevfit4333]

The "ancient technique" would be stacking the stones over a wooden form - with a keystone at the top - to create the arch. The builders here, used modern equipment to do the manual labor that would have been used in ancient times.
