🚀⚛️ Cool and educational on hydraulic engineering, dams, and the effect of an obstacle on the flow of sediments and water. 🔥 Obstacles in rivers, such as fallen trees, rocks, or human-made structures, disrupt the natural flow of water and sediment. These barriers can cause water to slow down upstream, inducing sediment deposition that modifies the riverbed, even creating new habitats like sandbars. 👨🏻🏫 Downstream of the obstacle, the water can erode the riverbed more aggressively due to the reduced sediment load, potentially leading to deeper channels and banks erosion. This redistribution of sediment and water can impact the overall morphology of the river, affect aquatic ecosystems, and influence flood dynamics by changing how water and sediments are transported downstream. #engineering #science #geology #art #technology #innovation #construction ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology

Lecture 8 Geotechnical Engineering Clays, fines, and Atterberg limits 🚀 Atterberg limits measure soil's critical water contents, differentiating its states: liquid, plastic, and solid. These thresholds characterized by the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index help understand soil behavior under varying moisture conditions, crucial for assessing construction suitability and stability in geotechnical engineering. #engineering #science #geology #geotechnicalengineering #education #ocgeoingenieria #ocgeoengineering ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology

🚀 Impressive educational conveying demo on the tremendous effect of vibration on the health and quality of concrete. Always vibrate with good quality! ⚛️ Vibrating concrete is key in construction as it compacts and consolidates the mix, for it to flow properly to every corner and around every reinforcement bar in the formwork. 🧮 Vibration removes trapped air and voids, enhancing the density and homogeneity of the concrete. Improved compaction increases the material's strength and durability, for safer and more resilient structures. 👨🏻🏫 Effective vibration reduces the risk of defects such as honeycombing and cracking, preventing the compromise of structural integrity, making vibration a fundamental practice for achieving optimal mechanical properties and prolonging the lifespan of concrete structures. #engineering #science #geology #art #technology #innovation #construction ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology

🚀⚛️ Educational on civil engineering and bridge construction technologies 🧮 Segmental prefabrication technology is an innovative and efficient construction method where structures are built in segments off-site and assembled on-site applying a cantilever approach. 👨🏻🏫 This method enhances efficiency as allows simultaneous segment production and site preparation, reducing construction time and site disruption. 👨🏻🏫 Particularly in bridges, the technology is particularly beneficial as segments can be precisely manufactured in controlled environments and assembled piece by piece, extending from fixed points applying the cantilever approach, speeding up the construction process, improving safety and quality control #engineering #science #geology #art #technology #innovation #construction ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology

⚛️🚀 Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They form from the remnants of massive stars after a supernova. Black holes warp space-time and can grow by absorbing matter and merging with other black holes. How cool they are? They were first observed not so long ago. 🧮 Science rocks! #engineering #science #geology #art #technology #innovation #creativity ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology

Lecture 7 Geotechnical Engineering The engineering of clays 🚀⚛️ Cool and educational on clays, one of the most complex and intriguing geomaterials made by Mother Earth. They work like magic but there are profound chemical and physical phenomena occurring in them that explain fascinating geotechnical behavior 🚨🔥 Clays are composed of fine-grained minerals such as kaolinite, illite, and montmorillonite, with particle size of less than 2 microns. These minerals influence the physical and chemical properties of geotechnical relevance like plasticity, cohesion, and water absorption. 👨🏻🏫 Clays pose challenges due to their high compressibility and low permeability, potentially inducing significant settlement and stability of structures. Their behavior under load is critical when water content changes, impacting the design of foundations, embankments, among others. #engineering #science #geology #technology #creativity #ocgeoengineering #ocgeoingenieria ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology

🚀⚛️ Cool and educational demo on the impact of compaction on asphalt material for pavement and roads. How cool is this explicit demo? 🧮 Compaction is a critical process in asphalt paving, enhancing durability and performance by reducing air voids, therefore increasing density. 👨🏻🏫 Compaction involves the application of pressure, transmitting compaction energy, through rolling to compact the asphalt mixture, usually while it is hot. 🔥 Optimal compaction delivers balance as the asphalt contains air voids to allow for slight expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, being dense enough to support traffic and resist deformation. Properly compacted asphalt has a longer lifespan, it id less susceptible to moisture damage, and provides a smoother and safer riding surface. 🚨Asphalt is indeed an awesome and noble construction material #engineering #science #geology #art #technology #innovation #creativity ⏩ Felipe Ochoa Cornejo 👨🏻🏫🇨🇱 for more state of the art science, engineering, geology, and technology 🎥 Please DM for credit.
