"We don't have time to discuss them here" Do you have something else to do? because I'm open for a longer video.

Why yes Mr. Algorithm, I did in fact want to watch this.

I can feel the urge to know more about retaining walls growing inside me by the minute! Don’t you ever starve the mind of a professional procrastinator!

Make the shape an upsidedown T shape. Checkmate.

Am I the only one who wanted to see the L facing the marbles without the additional friction?

great video! thank you!

i'm on the practical end here; i build them. when you make a retaining wall you would increase the length of the L leg with increasing the height of the wall (as said) ALSO you make the L leg thicker both of these will counter the tendency for overturning or collapse of the wall. if the wall is over 6' we normally will have some footing extend past the vertical part of the wall (like a upside down T)this moves the tipping point 'Q' further from the vertical leg and increasing the stability of the wall

Can anyone point me to a video about retaining walls that DOES go in to depth about the subject of retaining walls?

I love the Engineering behind all structures. From basic engineering to the extreme complex engineering. I lose track when it gets Into deep equations, I get a lot better understanding by watching videos than trying to read the equations. Thanks, keep going with even more in depth videos.

I love this video. In my engineering class, our lecturer explained this so badly. The class was pissed off by the confusion. This video is visual imagery of models made it explain clear. Awesome.

This channel randomly appeared on my feed. And I’m glad it did!

Where has this channel been all my life? Awesome!

As a designer of bespoke rental properties, I love these videos. We always wonder these types of questions when building and just end up testing both to see which ones better over the long haul. In these videos, you do the research for us. Thank you so much!

this channel is extremely underrated, should have a million subs.

*Clever engineering* that helps to build our infrastructure. A lot of nice and honest work in this industry.

Thank you......The video was very much usefull and simple

Thank you so much! Your videos are GREAT!!!

I think we can all agree that this is one of the best L shaped retaining wall vids on youtube. None of that H or S or even T shape bullshit here

I am persueing engineering and I am glad that I chose the ryt option in the beginning itself ! Realizations are something which keeps you motivated!

where have I been for the past 3 years - thank you, good work

Very useful in determining how I'm going to construct a retaining wall on my own property. Thank you!

I'm so happy I found this channel!

You will make common man with good civil engineering aptitude. God bless

Really interesting and artistic way of getting the point across! Good job mate..

After a strong diet of memes and funny videos, the algorithm still was able to figure out I'm in fact an Engineer

I've built a few retaining (gravity) walls in my time but I'm finding it more and more difficult to find enough marbles for back-filling. They come out through the 'weeps' in the wall too. Could you suggest an alternative?

Dude you are awesome. Its so easy much easy understand the engineering concepts. Thank you for your effort.

Great video.... I would love to see more retaining wall models... like gabion wall, buttress wall etc.

Very carefully made video. Thank you!

Don't know why this channel stopped posting, videos are good, easily understandable

I love this explanation, great examples 👌

I am an architect and I really love your videos! Good job keep it up :)

Oh wow this was one of the best videos on retaining walls.

It’s a Sunday morning...I’m not a landscaper or engineer and here I am glued to my screen on the edge of my seat watching a video on the physics of a retaining wall.

Short and sharp! THANKS

You should link the extra videos in the description. Makes them easier to find and follow.

I always heard about a "heel and foot" in building a wall footing, where the the load side is the "foot" and a short "heel" also extends away from the load side -- like an upside-down T but with one short leg. It is more concrete of course -- but is that design preferable?

This was the first video of yours I have watched. It was great 👍. The binge begins

GREAT SCOTT!!! how in this world have I found this channel ONLY TODAY??? Thank you for your precious content. This is PRECIOUS!!! Greetings from Portugal.

Simple and informative. Subscribed.

Have I really gotten through so much of the entertaining content on KZfaq that I'm now watching retaining wall videos just to pass the time? I guess so... huh

So would an upside down T shape allow it to be steonger?

OK first of all why am I here and why am I watching this at 5 in the morning

Awesome video! I wish I had these videos during college

Excellent video!!

Good information! Thanks !!

This is some fine stuff right here, mate

THANKS GREAT VIDEO YOU TEACH US IN A SIMPLE AND PRACTICE WAY.

Thank you, great explanation!

Well explained. Thank you!

It's very useful information for me! Thank you KZfaq!! -__-

Se puede incrementar la resistencia al deslizamiento de un muro añadiendo un dentellón en la base. Y es interesante señalar que parte del peso que deben soportar los muros de contención sirve también para darle estabilidad si se acomoda la geometría de forma adecuada.

Best practical video..👍

I'm not engineer but this was so damn obvious and logical

Great explanation of how the forces acting on a retaining wall work under 5 minutes.

this series is very useful. thanks

interesting.... Dead man Wall also a good design for retain pressure.

Thanks you. This is very helpful. Keep up the good work.

This is the type of video that excites others to get into structural engineering. I know nothing about it but would have loved to learn it and practice it.

Pretty dam interesting. Thanks.

Most useful resource I could find so far!

Brought back the final paper of my soils engineering elements vividly to mind. Selected all three of the values from the Terzaghi curve from the bottom line (engineers will understand this) and proudly announce the retaining wall was going to fail in overturning. It didn't, I did, along with two other students who made the same mistake. In the pub afterwards our lecturer, who had been walking the room invigilating, said he'd spotted what we'd done but couldn't say anything. We were allowed to resit the paper and move on.

Wow! Great explanation and interesting channel. Thanks! Subscribed 😉

That is so cool. It is the same principle with many bookend models.

Its very helpful.. thank you!!

I mean this was the 1st video that caught my eye and now I'm dying at the end!🤣

Excelent explenation!

Hey that was simple and cool! What about the best of both worlds, an inverted T retaining wall?

Liked, Subscribed and Commented... I was searching for a video that would help me visualize and understand retaining walls, I suppose a genie nearby was listening and granted me my wish. Amazing Video Keep it up !!

Best u tube channel

I'm convinced it's a major contribution to road safety

VERY INFORMATIVE AND CONCEPTUAL

Awesome work

Yes, we have the time! And we will be discussing them here!!!

This is what i was looking for. Thanks sir

Nice video to use an inverted wall you have to check if the soil pressures are under the allowable limits this type of retaining wall has problems with compression of soil failure.

A T footing would require more leverage to overturn and provide an increase in friction capabilities. Excellent point!

Damn I wish schools were teaching like this!

I dunno why youtube recommended me this vid, but I enjoyed it :)

Grt... grt grt. Loved it..

This video really is beautiful

brilliant video .. thanks

Can I use certain portion of the clips in my video describing retain walls in my native language?

I support this channel. Please do engineering model on retaining wall with counterfort model.

So creative explaination👍👍

That was interesting!

i knew it the right one nice one :3

Супер, дуже доступно і наглядно. Велика вдячніть. Підписавсь, буду спостерігати за вами.

superb..

Thanks for making this video which is so useful

I'll keep that in mind

Cool video liked and subbed👍

Certainly helps with my construction management subjects 🤣thank you KZfaq recommendation

Do you have one on roof slabs, depth of concrete and span?

Why you guys stopped uploading content...it is so good and you have good success too with this KZfaq channel.

Great video

Interesting, but it should be called retaining wall if you are only going to discuss one type. I wanted to hear about the others as well.

Finally, the youtube algorithm brought me to something I really want to watch

great information

We are just scratching the surface here but great video. Engineering is fantastic
