Railroad Tunnel Under Town - Dam Breach Experiment

Dam Breach Experiment - railroad tunnel with realistic model train and mini town are in danger by the flood.. What can happen to a railway tunnel built inside a sand dam and a mini town on a sandy shore if the dam breaks and floods? Check out our new Dam Breach and Flood Experiment with real water!

There's a good chance if it's running under a town, it's a concrete tunnel like a subway tunnel, so it's gonna be reinforced to withstand the weight above, and the train going through it pushing down on the tracks pulling the walls down too when it passes through. Watching the English French Channel Tunnel get buildt when I was a kid, they talked about all the forces the tunnel had to go through and withstand, it was an amazing engineering feat.

This is a great example of why plants and roots are important for damns and levies. My local town has an artificial lake and they cut all the trees down on the berms. Both of them cracked and they had to drain the lake below them. It's still not fully fixed as far as I'm aware

So true! My region suffered from an incredible deforestation in the span of almost 300 years made by Italian colonizers, and we still suffer from hydrogeological risks to this day because of that, even if we tried to reforestate (we're now the first region in Italy for forest percentage, just a smidge over 50% of its landmass). Mediterranean forests are so hard to restore! But luckily we've seen a slight improvement in terrain erosion, especially on the beaches.

Suggestion: PVC or Clay Tube representing train tunnel, with tiny as possible air holes drilled in. Incorporate small pebbles and dirt layers representing some modern city landscapes. You even reuse those bricks because they may be structurally compromised being that they were wet and had to dry. Still keep the ruptured damn theme going and possibly add an old cracked foundation somewhere in there. It sounds a bit complicated but I’m sure it’ll make a great video. Awesome Job As Usual.

@@KingOfDams yea out of all of this the safest place by far should have been the tunnel. I’d suggest using something better then sand aswell. If someone built a you a miniature tunnel you’d see how well they could survive something like this, you also should have pushed and sealed the tunnel towards the glass itself. And a small question. What was at the end of the tunnel. Because if it was just sand no wonder it got compromised.

[@bigfootbass]

@@KingOfDams I assume most of the reason the water got into the tunnel was sliding in between the sand and the glass on the side, so a better representation would be to cut a hole in the glass and have the tunnel poke out of the glass. None of the water actually got through the bricks themselves, so i would like to see how the tunnel hold up with a more airtight, 3d, method.

I would love to see you push your limits and try to make a very structurally stable build inside some sand, and try different tests. Like slow water rise, fast water rise, have some of the container be split off and filled with water and then open the wall to cause a tsunami like wave

[@KingOfDams]

Cool idea, thank you!

[@RobertSmith-jd7yx]

Sand will move with water moving around in it. The only control measure is to keep the water contained away from the sand. Even rain water would move the sand on the unprotected back side in his example. So containing the sand on both sides of his example would be necessary, yet enough water force could dig the sand out of it's containment hold, possible collapsing the structural wall. Water force and height (pressure) determines any longevity of his scenario. Where movement is possible

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Hey! Had some great ideas: 1: Durability test! Three parallel walls of bricks, spaced a brick’s width apart, with sand between and covering them. Final structure would look similar to: / III \ …However, the main difference is that the bricks go all the way to the bottom. You can also use the dam’s width to build stuff on top: maybe an airport? 2: Instead of building a dam on the short axis of your aquarium, why not try one on the long axis? 3: Two parallel dams: when the first dam fails, the process of collapsing the second begins. 4: You use large stones to break up the water flow… but what if you put some inside of your dam to strengthen it? 5: This one is to improve your setup and allow you to get more space. Instead of using stones to break up the water’s flow, what if you placed a piece of fabric over the end of the tube (like a scrap of an old T-shirt) and secured it on with waterproof tape? That way, you don’t need the stones as a splash shield: the water would simply soak through the fabric, keeping it from splashing. 6: Tutorial video on how to make these. 7: Paper strips as “rebar” for the sand. 8: Build a massive underground complex over the whole base of your tank, with the roof supported by bricks in some places, and sand in others. Cover it all in a thick layer of sand (you can even add a chimney/air shaft to allow water in slightly earlier) so you have maybe half the height of the tank used, then begin to flood the ground above the complex. When the water gets into the complex and eats away at the sand supports, those sections will cave in, eventually either collapsing the whole structure, parts of it, or simply creating an underground flash flood. 8: A small chunk of sodium or a similar element: the higher ones are more explosive, but these ones just produce hydrogen gas (possible fail reason, as if buried it’d likely generate a lot of pressure that could blow your dam apart or at least cripple it.

@@injoymappalmademallorca777 Have a TLDR, compacted as much as I can. 1 - Dam with three parallel brick walls for reinforcement, in a /|||\ shape. 2 - Dam along long axis of the tank instead of the short axis. 3 - Dam in front of a dam. When Dam 1 breaks, Dam 2 would begin to fill. 4 - Dam reinforced by large stones instead of bricks. 5 - Using a scrap of fabric instead of stones to stop the water splashing around. 6 - Dam building tutorial. 7 - Using small strips of paper in a dam to create a similar effect to rebar. 8 - Cover the entire bottom of the tank in a large underground complex. Flood the space above it and see what happens. 9 - Add a chunk of an alkali metal (Li, Na, etc.) inside the dam: these elements react violently with water, and could cripple/collapse the dam with no warning as a result.

I haven’t watched the video yet, but a previous problem I saw it a couple of videos, being very loosely packed sand is clearly fixed. There may not be any anything in between the brick to prevent water from leaking, but I wouldn’t say it is necessary. Judging by the comments, this will be quite interesting. This is very good indeed. Thank you! Edit: I can clearly see what looks to be veins of minerals (in this case it’s obviously just a different kind of sand) and very detailed approach.

You should do one similar to this but instead show how water pressure + flow will cause the base to erode out underneath the dam. You could do this by having a float (so as to not fill the "lake" side too full and a sump on the other side to catch any water flowing through and pump it out.

A weird problem with real submerged tunnels is remarkable amount of upthrust they can generate due to buoyancy. Would be fun to see if an unanchored tunnel would actually lift the village. Appreciate the work put in. :-)

I'm glad you liked my video! And thank you for the interesting note!

There's a LOT of problems in this simulation : dirt doesn't have the same absorption rate of water than sand, it also depend the type of dirt and the vegetation (more tree = more sturdy grounds against water) If a dam were to break it would flood much quicker + it would come as a wave (so there would be an initial impact) Tunnels aren't make of spaced brick, so in reality they are more sturdy and above all really water proof. Still the video make a good entertainment and a lot of efforts have been put in it's making, that i have to congrat you for. But yeah, it's not really realistic. Could be a little realistic for a flood of costal city though.

You are right, I plan to build more complex models later

[@mjolnir1313]

@@KingOfDams nice! :)

[@brennan2007]

Yeah, it was a very satisfying video which I sat and completely watched, but unfortunately it wasn't realistic in the slightest.

Even in such a small scale model the force of the water is kind of terrifying - very cool display! Thanks for sharing.

Moral of the story, dont build tunnels near the coast. And/or don't build cities on a sandy cliff

[@KingOfDams]

You are right!

6:00 Best part

[@KingOfDams]

Glad you think so

[@whiteout1299]

One thing to mention, if that were an actual tunnel, the water would not rise on the bottom anywhere near as fast due to the near unlimited distance for it vs the area that a dam would affect.

[@KingOfDams]

Yes, you are right.

[@SirKolass]

You should make your videos in slow motion, so it looks like a real scale event, it looks cool as heck.

[@KingOfDams]

Ok, my friend, I'll try to do it!

[@daifaiv]

Wow this is truly a masterpiece of video🤟🏻👍🏻⚡️⚡️ Black Adam

[@KingOfDams]

Glad you think so!

Very original, good gob man! I want to present a potential design: A brick core surrounded by sand, and chopsticks or coat hanger wire secured to the birch to add structural support, kind of like steel reinforced concrete.

[@KingOfDams]

Cool idea, my friend! Thank you very much!
