LEGO DAM BREACH EXPERIMENT - UNDERGROUND BUNKER INTO DAM COLLAPSE

[@jep1st]

It looked genuinely distressing when the bottom room was trapped because the bricks were against the ladder and then the room started to fill with water, basically drowning the workers slowly in the dark.

[@KingOfDams]

It was terrible..

[@TheLondonForever00]

There was an air pocket at the back of the room. They could have survived long enough to the point it collapsed and made it out

[@breakglasssogocrab]

and them seeing the sand on the floor get wet realizing it would collapse soon and they couldn’t do anything

Wow, this is an amazing simulation of what could actually happen in a real life situation if structures like these are not properly built under the safety standards. As an engineer, inspecting the structural integrity of the parts being manufactured is fundamentally important, because any scratch, tear or cracks on the parts, will definitely cost innocent lives in the future. This video made me reflect a lot in terms of safety. Very well done!

Seach for Brumadinho and Mariana accidents in Brazil, and you'll see it happening in real life.

[@DanDanDoe]

I'm Dutch so I guess we learn a lot about dykes and such at school. One thing I noticed was how quickly the sand of the dam began to "fall". Right away in the first minute it began losing its integrity. That's why it's important to have plants on the dykes. The roots of plants like dune grass keep the soil more compacted, so it stays stronger. This is just a sand hill.

[@ilo3456]

The big thing I noticed was rhat when water began flowing to the other side erosion just accelerated massively, which reminded me of the Oroville Dam with the Spillway failure, how due to the concrete blocks having gaps it caused water to seep into the soil underneath and due to the volume and force of the water it caused accelerated erosion which led to like half the hill face judt being eroded by water flow when the spillway collapsed

Have you ever tried building one of these dams out of wet sand instead of dry? I would be very curious about if it would last longer in comparison.

[@KingOfDams]

Yes, a dam made of wet sand is less stable

[@forumicebreaker]

Back around the year 1999/2000 or so, Menomonie, WI discovered the downtown lake bank was collapsing into "the lake." Watching this combined with knowing local history, even with the "fixed" lake bank, I still see portions of the sidewalk above slumping down. I would like to see this type of model built somewhere, some day. In this case, it's a lumbering-era dam and mill pond on a river thing. Subsequent dams for hydroelectric and other repairs backed up the water a little bit. The wood dam replacement by a concrete dam that "raised" the "lake" level 10 feet had simple rip-rap to certain spots, like the downtown lake bank, or lakefront. The road above had already been pushed out over the original bluff line, too. Of course, the river is simply backed up, flooding low lands upstream to create a larger "lake." The private shore lines more upstream are still getting undercut. The eastern bank of the river is very sandy, almost to the edge of the downtown lakefront. Even near the old pump house location where the better class built the "improvement association" boathouse back in 1958./1959, that needs rock added routinely as it is pulled down into "the lake" slowly.
