Retaining Walls Explained | Types, Forces, Failure and Reinforcement

In this video we will be learning about Retaining Wall. This video is divided into 4 parts. First we will learn about general types of retaining walls and its components. After that we will see types of failures in a retaining wall, then we will see general forces and behavior of retaining walls, and lastly typical reinforcement in a cantilever retaining wall.

This video is very helpful!
What if one wants to lower the toe to lower the walkway , would underpinning help to install a new toe at a lower level?

This 10-minute video explained the important concepts of retaining walls better than my college professor did. Because of that, I don't have a choice but to subscribe to your channel.

[@natureboyricflair8555]

Yea that’s what always makes me question college for jobs like this. A contractor building good sized retaining walls can make in a month what a professor makes in a year plus! Lol

[@sudinpradhan7410]

If only this video was available while studying engineering, I would not have struggled a lot.

[@Nobody-bg3zf]

Respected Sir , I am very glad to see that still on earth smart person like you exist who have made things easier for students .we all appreciate it from bottom of our heart .

00:05 Retaining walls are structures used to hold earth or any other material, allowing the area above and below it to be usable.
01:30 Different Types of Retaining Walls
02:52 Different types of retaining walls and their failure modes
04:15 The resistance against sliding is mainly provided by the friction between the base slab and the soil below it.
05:31 Active pressure is the pressure actively trying to push the wall along it.
06:51 Design calculations for a granular soil wall are conservative due to the exclusion of certain pressures
08:04 The pressure diagrams for walls under soil and water loads.

Dang. Great video that saved me from myself in my own plans to build a retaining wall on my property. Thanks for some very helpful info. Now I can build it to never fail. 👍

Upto the point video

[@SANDEEPKUMAR-gi2ir]

Great job Sir!!!

[@kishel3984]

great explanation thanks!

[@itsmearelle]

I was really having a hard time understanding the passive pressure (and when there is a shear key). I'm always questioning why it is not included in the problems we are solving. That's the problem we are just solving without understanding the principle behind it.
Found this video and can't believe that the answer was just to be conservative in the design, that's it. I can't find my courage and time to ask my professor, and I always find videos to understand the concept much deeper but had a hard time finding one.
I am really thankful that I found this video. The voice over is clear (but improvements can be made), content is simple and concise. Focuses on principles first to further understand the formulas(it is really helpful for us students) and the figures/animation really solidifies it.
You're still 12k+ subscribers but the value you provide is already at a higher level. Please keep making this high quality videos.
This "aha" moment just filled me with so much dopamine that I wrote this much. I can't believe it. Peace out.

[@StructuresExplained]
