Sandy gravel 😅 Now then ... Seriously just watched your last geogrid vid . I installed geogrid some years back on an embankment for infrastructure . Some years later I built a retaining wall based on a concrete slab for an employer . Watching your vid today I realised that my old employer could have saved a fortune on concrete and carbon using geo grid instead . Well it's tough for my old employer as I didn't remember geogrid and even if I had I would of been discounted for my input All that said I am now starting my own business utilising geogrid and installing geogrid pre cast revetment block driveway and access roads . These save lots of carbon using less concrete and less lorry movements to install product and driveway / road remains pourus with no water run off and it saves on drainage . Great videos , I love your wisdom and knowledge . Thank you for sharing 👍👍

Not sure if this is the right place to ask questions, 1) what is bridge scour and explain it from shear stress point of view taking into account layered soils with different soil materials, cohesive and no cohesive, rocks, etc

@aininsofiya914411 ай бұрын
Hello Good Day Sir, thank you so much for the explanation. Sir I would like to know is there any possibility that the cohesion value of sand will be completely zero, or the there will be value for cohesion for example like 0.5? Another question, is there any possibility that the cohesion value of sand can be negative for example like -0.5? Thank you Sir 😊

How does a geotechnical engineer decide if a reinforced earth wall or slope needs additional drainage? Often I see reinforced retaining walls built with accommodations for water (gravel, drains) but in steep reinforced geocell slopes this seems less common - how is this need assessed, and what factors are most important?
@robincheng4263 жыл бұрын
The lateral earth pressure behind the wall cannot be greater than the allowable stress that the wall can resist. Poor drainage can increase the moisture of the soil behind the wall which may increase the lateral pressure significantly, so this will depend if you need more drainage. Typically, the backfill act as a drainage since the soil is recommended to be granular soils with low fines so it can be compacted easily. You don’t want to put a compactor machine close to the wall (this can break the wall via vibration and is not safe for the operator). The geocell slopes are typically used as erosion control and not as a wall. Think of it more like a blanket on top of native soil. This is why this does not need drainage as the soil above is native (naturally compacted) and not backfilled as in the case of a MSE Wall.

Sir, refer to the graph diagram that you draw about value of c'. Is that mean, it is better the c'=0 or is there any standard of c' that acceptable for foundation design?
@emmyayob53062 жыл бұрын
Thank you, sir. (i'm sorry. i'm forgot to say thank you)
@civilengineeringtutor85102 жыл бұрын
It's better to assume c' is equal to zero when you design , because that will represent the worst case scenario
