Practical Engineering | How Soil Destroys Buildings @PracticalEngineeringChannel | Uploaded October 2017 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Okay this is the last video on the hazards of soil mechanics for a while :)
Expansive soils cause more property damage per year than earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes combined. Expansive soils are a slow-moving geologic phenomenon, which makes them not very news-worthy. However, they still cause a tremendous amount of damage to buildings and the public infrastructure we rely on every day.
