Also bear in mind that it doesn't matter how much water in terms of length that the dam is holding back, the hydrostatic pressure remains the same.

3:26 No - the forces don't originate at the centre of the arch. They are applied all long the length of the arch. And they certainly don't 'originate' at the top of the wall as implied by the animation - they are more intense the lower down you go *_below water level_* (ie as the water pressure increases with depth).

yes that is true and it was depicted as such in the earlier animations. 3:26 was a simplified way to visually explain what is going on.

I have a question; Will bullets shot out of a gattling-gun have increased speed when installed on a fighterjet at 1000 km/h have an increased muzzle velocity, or is it independent? Will the effect on target vary according to if what it is firing at is moving, and if it is moving towards or away?
@TheEngineeringHub
2 жыл бұрын
That's an interesting question Olga & Joachim. We are not military/weapons engineers but from basic Newtonian mechanics the speed of the bullet should be increased due to its initial speed inherited from the fighter jet i.e. V_bullet = V_jet + V_firing speed. This is with respect to a reference system fixed to a third object (e.g. the Earth). Also an important assumption is that the system remains far from the speed of light and relativity does not come into play. If any physicist is reading this and would like to correct me please do so.

Ive seen this question asked but for light, does light coming out of headlights on car goes faster when the car is moving vs stationary. Obviously no, lightspeed is lightspeed. But the bullet is different than light.

Ive always wondered how they manage to divert the water during construction? Gotta be lots of mud to get rid of. How do they test the soil under the projected dam ahead of time? Do they just expect to dig until reaching bedrock? Im so glad i found this channel, i think i could have been an engineer, this stuff is very interesting!

Hi John, we love to see people get excited and enthusiastic about engineering. That was our aim! Our specialty is in structural engineering but I will try to answer some of your questions to the best of my knowledge (someone else reading this is always welcome to correct me). Diverting the river is a big part of the project. In the case of the Hoover Dam, it was actually done through tunnels specifically bored for this purpose through the side of the canyon. You can see photos of these tunnels and their construction on the link below: www.alamy.com/looking-upstream-into-black-canyon-toward-hoover-dam-site-showing-outlet-portals-of-four-diversion-tunnels-and-blasting-in-outlet-valve-house-excavations-river-is-being-diverted-through-tunnels-3-4-scope-and-content-photograph-from-volume-two-of-a-series-of-photo-albums-documenting-the-construction-of-hoover-dam-boulder-city-nevada-image261739717.html When it comes to the foundation, since dams are so massive they would need to be supported on bedrock (even though that's not always the case). That can be done through piles or if bedrock is close maybe excavate deep enough. For the Hoover Dam, since the Colorado River has carved out the bedrock into a canyon, everything around is pretty stable and strong so they didn't have to go too far deep to find a solid base.

The title should be "Engineering Dams" or something along that line, not building some big concrete structures. The actual building is never discussed while it is super interesting. Likewise, only dams are considered, not other massive concrete structures like foundations or what not.

I think you should cut a little more slack for the Mullaperiyar dam, colonial infrastructure usually appears to be amazing due to survivor bias but that was built with rubble 125 years ago and it’s still doing it’s job. The empire didn’t build infrastructure out of the goodness of its heart, if they knew they’d have to leave soon they’d do the job but it would be done dirt cheap.

Our intent was not to dis the Mullaperiyar dam. On the contrary, it is an amazing and incredibly cost effective structure. Though maintenance is a key issue and could jeopardize even the best of structures. We just wanted to outline some problems that earthfilled (or in this case rubblefilled) dams could face.
