There are few people in life that enjoy anything as much as you enjoy talking about concrete. Thank you.

That's awesome, hope to hear from you soon about *resistance of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete to chloride penetration*

Can't afford civil at 37 years old but you make engineering sound so simple

I agree, slimy was awesome and so is this video!

Thank you Dr. Tyler, great explanation, I have been watching many of your videos to get a good feel for proper concrete design.

Yes indeed. Am making a separate playlist: Concrete -- Development Length

The worm analogy is cute. I want to know about concrete made with fiber fillers and micro aggregates for water proofing

Thank you Dr. Tyler, great explanation.

Wonderful sir

great video man. Your students are very fortunate. 🙏🏾 Subscribed

Fantastic Video! I feel partly responsible for this!

I thought that I was freak to compare bars with worms. I'm sorry glad to watch this video, thanks Tyler

You are awesome 👏

I hope I explained things like you to my subordinates

Yes, I am doing a frost protected shallow footing in Kansas and well, there`s wind,..so yes this helped me...….I will have the hardest to pull out worms ever,...I mean anchor bolts.

I love this guy. 😅💜

Hey Tyler. Nice video, can you make a video on joints used in concrete structures??. Greetings and keep up the good work

You are genius

Thanks Tyler. Wish this subject was a compulsory module when I was studying mechanical engineering in Australia. Unfortunately, concrete and associated theory was just skimmed over. 👍👍🇦🇺

Love it! as a builder, I like to know this shit. Would love to know more about how rebar in columns work, if you ever want to do a video on that some day. I see commercial stuff going on and rebar for columns look pretty complicated. Always been curious as to the methodology.

How can I bend basalt rebar? I thought it's more.. snappy? I don't think I can do the hook-think with the basalt-rebar.

Nelson pins?

Can someone help chime in on this. I'm very naive about concrete. At my house I poured 3 raised garden beds (floors & 14" walls) Used rebar on 2 of them & not on the 3rd because I ran out & longevity wasn't super important to the wife. All forms were left for 1 week, concrete all the same (sakcrete high strength concrete 60# bags). The beds with rebar both failed and cracked after about 10 years. The one with zero rebar looks brand new like the day the forms were removed. Is there any scenario where certain type of rebar reacts to certain type of concrete to accelerate failure? I'm so confused on this one.

Fantastic explanation 👍. OFF TOPIC...What's going on with these 3D printed concrete houses?

man...you are top professor in your field and .... not metric units.....thumbs, pines, foot, cucumbers...and so on!! SI units...please at list in engineering channels! :)

Thanks for the video! I have a situation with my garden walls, that has led to the following questions: The render has started to peel off due to rusting grid reinforcement that was put on the chest-high wall to hold the render. What's your opinion on reinforcement in such low-load applications? Is it necessary? Are there better options to prevent the render from peeling off in the future? Thank you

Thank you very much professor. Could you please tell us about Self-consolidating concrete in details?? I will be glad if you do it.

Consider a series of children's books - Worm 101, 110, 200, 220, 315, 330 etc... by the time dad has read and re-read this series during their growing years they will be allowed test-out credits at OSU for their degree in Concrete. Engineering... lol... Even better would be the digital online books read by Dr. Ley... Sweet!!!

" Municipal Grade Concrete ' did not use rebar [or any other structural strengtheners] yet it was Nei indestructible. Able to withstand a nuclear explosion without failure. Why don't we use that now ? Since Rebar is the main reason water permeation is so destructive to concrete that has Rebar. Iron Oxide expansion. PS: what was the mixture for that concrete ?

How can I get a paper published in cement and concrete research? That’s my question during my whole PhD life.

Worms are pretty cool. But you know what's better: a mustache.

Last time I was this early, I got a worm...sorry slimy
