How to build a dam

Ғылым және технология

Dear techies, in our ‘Dams 101’ video today, we will discuss how dams are made.
As you know, these colossal structures aid in the storage of water, the control of flooding, and the generation of energy.
But what does it truly take to build them?

    It's a great career! I am a retired construction civil engineer. There are many types of civil engineering Structural engineering. ... Construction engineering and management. ... Geo-technical engineering. ... Environmental engineering. ... Transportation engineering. ... Water resources engineering. ... Materials engineering. I chose construction because of the diverse methods of construction techniques. I excelled at concrete and also had an structural engineering background. I traveled all over my country working on small, big and a few mega jobs. I really enjoyed doing bridges. Good luck with your pursuit. It's hard work at first but with patience it becomes second nature.

  • @johnnyvivic8730

    @johnnyvivic8730

    2 жыл бұрын

    They don't, they are built on flowing rivers and the concrete is inserted underneath, like at 1:47. Sections are usually heavy enough to resist the flow of water adequately during insertion. If water flow is vigorous enough, then a diversion will be built, perpindicular to the water flow, to divert water form the river elsewhere while the main dam is built. P.S. when you see a dam and it has water up to the top on one side and water almost at the bottom on the other side, know that the side with the water at the top is the reservoir, which is filled up after the dam is complete.

  • @elena6516

    I dont know what kind of long-winded pseudo-answer Mr Vivic is providing above. The answer to your question is that they divert the water around the construction site. Simple as that. Build a channel or channels that allow water to flow around wherever they working. When the dam is complete, they plug the channels. In some cases, they might build a structure called a cofferdam or caisson in the river itself and perform construction within the de-watered cofferdam area.

I am also one of the Pakistanis who came to see this video after hearing and realising how several people and their homes & businesses got severely affected by recent disastrous flood incident. I pray to Allah and hope that in near future we are able to build such dams to avoid such flood disasters and also able to generate massive hydro electricity and get rid of thief organization like k-electric.
