Hey mate, great videos. Im a current student undertaking study in construction management. Also doing little sketch up models on the side for assignments and work. Appreciate these videos especially because I'm from Melbourne, Australia myself and always nice to hear proper in depth information and ideas on how to tackle different things. Keep it up!
im just a random liking what you quoted..so you can remember where you were and where you are now...im in Melbourne aswell studying building surveying all the best mate!!
So does that mean you need to include form work on all strip footings to prevent the zone of influence from collapsing into the trench? Is it common practice to do this. I'm in the Ryde area and have to put in 450 deep x 350 wide strip footings and I'm wondering if I need to use formwork or not. Great videos by the way... I'm hooked.
+Andrew Tenney Hi Andrew Thanks, in answer to your question No, only if the excavation is deeper than 1.5m and you intend to have someone working in it, As per this video or if the foundation material is so unstable that you need it to hold up the sides of the trench e.g. sand th-cam.com/video/NcKL2R7KMkU/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps
Hi Mate, You just need to know your soil type and then find a table that will give the Angel of Repose. This one might help. structx.com/Soil_Properties_005.html
Shaine MacDonald Hi Shane The slope of the trench will be determined by the fall that you need for the pipe, if you need any at all. The Angle of Repose will only be needed if you are going to batter the trench to stop it from collapsing.
It's rather confusing to me still. In the heavy equipment operator - Excavator course we learned that trenches over 1.2 metres are sloped at a ratio of 1:1. Does this sound right?
Shaine MacDonald Hi Shaine a 1:1 ratio would give you a 45 degree angle of repose which would be a rough average for the majority of materials however if you where excavating in loose materials the angle would have to be lower.
this channel is a god send
Thanks Mate.

I need to figure out angle of repose for deck piers that need to be dug close to a foundation wall, how do I go about this?

Is the angle of repose used to figure out how much to slope the trench?
Shaine MacDonald Hi Shane The slope of the trench will be determined by the fall that you need for the pipe, if you need any at all. The Angle of Repose will only be needed if you are going to batter the trench to stop it from collapsing.

What is program for the simulation name please ?
Hi Mate, I use SketchUp for all my drawings and animations.
Thanks mate
