Geotechnical Analysis of Foundations
Показать описание
Our understanding of soil mechanics has drastically improved over the last 100 years. This video investigates a geotechnical foundation failure that happened as a result of lack of knowledge and poor site investigation. With our understanding of soil mechanics today we completely explain what went wrong. The failure in question is the Transcona Grain Elevator in Winnipeg, Canada that failed during its first filling in 1913. The explanation lies in understanding foundation design principles and bearing capacity which is what the video is mostly revolving around. The video attempts to explain these concepts in an intuitive and easily understandable way.
