    All your experiments have the same problem: water seeps into the sand. Use garden soil and waterproof it with clay. If you want to simulate real terrain, without finishing or artificial waterproofing, look for sand or soil with smaller grains. Remember that the models are on a smaller scale than reality, so the grains of sand need to be smaller. Otherwise, it would be the same as building on a pebble pile.

    • @PreservationEnthusiast
      @PreservationEnthusiast 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Interesting but unrealistic. The underground structure would be made of reinforced concrete not loose blocks like you have. Loose blocks would not take the earth pressures, especially when it rains.
      I understand you want to make a spectacular video to "get views" with everything collapsing. But with a realistic underground structure made of waterproof concrete and tanking, what you are likely to get is flotation of the basement. It could be later breached by water infiltration due to stress cracking or overturning of the structure.
      That's the real life end to the basement if properly constructed. Not so good to watch though!

    • @jamesahoffman
      @jamesahoffman 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Doesn't really matter, same results, the water would just enter at the first opening either a vent, Crack, or door. If it doesn't how much air do you have before suffocating? Bunkers are not built for floods!

    • @PreservationEnthusiast
      @PreservationEnthusiast 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@jamesahoffman Yes the bunker would be doomed, but there wouldn't be a spectacular collapse like this which is done for views. The loose blocks it was built of would not even hold back earth pressures. The most likely outcome would be flotation of the chamber and overturning with water entering mostly from the top.

    i'm a civil engineer. I think your model dam doesn't mimic how a typical earth dam works and fails. In a typical earth dam, there is a thick layer of impermeable of material, e.g. clay, and water can't run from one side of the dam to another side. The impermeable layer core is sandwiched with thick layers of rock...

    I feel like I understand the spirit of the experiment, but as many have pointed out, I feel like the science could use some work. You'd have to take into account the different layers of soil and substrates that make up actual ground taking into account composition, density, and any seismic activity (if any) in the past. Also, a dam burst, or flood would likely be more violent and less directly impacting on the face of terrain the way it is depicted here (again, I understand the constraints and the spirit of the exercise). It would be tough to build this to scale with a water-tight cutaway to simulate how it would actually work out in a real-world scenario. Also, the lack of mortar/sealant on the blocks that lead down to the cavern where the shelter is housed would also have to be taken into account as well as any bracing/shoring up to strengthen the walls as they go down. Overall though, a neat experiment.

    If it's an earthen dam, which this appears to represent, the internal core could be something akin to rammed earth rather than just loose sand. I'd bet that'd hold up longer. The underground bunker might also maintain integrity for longer. Gradual seepage would occur with time, however. Rammed earth is not water proof. Technically, neither are most types of concrete.

    There are alot of factors involved with such a test giving much insight on how things would react in certain environments. Under this particular test, this assumes the dam failure occurs in such a way that the water sweeps across the hill, which is where the realism of this experiment in my opinion ends as this assumes the water leaking of flooding from or through the dam has no where to go. Let's talk about the hill for a moment, Climate Change through the different seasons comes with it occasional rain, and possibly even a raining storm. This test assumes the dirt upon which makes up the hill has NEVER been touched by water it's entire existence. Unless your vegetation surrounding your property is literally tall plastic structures resembling trees, which takes more work and effort than literally just having trees, then you know plants make use of this thing called "roots" and through these roots they absorb nutrients and seek deeper and deeper into the ground in such a way that the roots almost literally hold large clumps of the dirt they're roots seek through together. I suppose the lamp posts run on solar panels.... The realtor who sold you the house may be legally liable for the failure, or lack of, a stable foundation for the house. i do not know the legal matters involved but i'm sure building and safety violations do not end with the foundation. Yes i know this is a "model". The person living in this house is possibly very wealthy and the "problem" would had been solved before any damage would occur; Or, the inhabitants of the house (large family or not) would had been able to organize gathering their stuff and leaving before any damage could occur.
