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?

Thanks for the tutorial! I just had to replace some of the missing materials with cardboard and news paper, but don't worry i hardened them beforehand with some glue

Same here...I actually came here from watching a short to get full information about the construction of dams. This is the short kzread.infoh-SI3Ou4VJM?si=hyfz-bK99Y1wucDL
Everyone is making jokes but I’ve actually be wondering how they could make a big dam on a large river so I came here looking for the answer so thank you!

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.

I've always wondered this but for some reason never thought to look it up. I had the mentality that it was going to be a mystery forever
Very Informative, I was just confused, how they stop the flow of water while constructing the dams?
@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.

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.

@@johnnyvivic8730 1:47 is some unrelated stock footage. The dam in that scene has already been built. No, they do not simply lower pre-cast concrete blocks in place within the river. They cannot become monolithic structures that way.
Damn, what a dam!

That was really cool. This is the best way we know how to make clean energy right now. Unfortunately, in my country Pakistan, we are facing severe flooding once again and we still haven't built enough dams. We are also facing a 20% electricity shortage..

Yes exactly, couldn't agree more. 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.
Now DAMN (joke intended), this is something that I always wanted to know.

That dam represents KZread algorithm and the water represents my subscribers. No clue when will the dam open 😂

Well I’ll be damned, you can learn anything on KZread with a how to video.

amazing video
as a beaver thanks for this tutorial
Damn! That was a huge dam.
Do you have a tutorial of building a gravity dam? With materials needed to build it?
Thanks man! Learned a lot from this one.. my mate was wondering how to build one and this comes in real handy as a guide to help me and my mate build a nice big dam in his backyard because we want to drown his 4 year old child. The vacum helps assure, IT cannot escape once it's in... Thanks once again mate and cheers to you and the Interesting Engineering team!!

Funny how they showed the Oroville dam which ultimately failed. You think they would chose one that hasn't.
Thanks, now i can rest my brain and sleep. It’s already midnight and was about to fall asleep then suddenly wondered how a dam was built 😂
we need a new damn dam in kherson :(
Thanks
Dams are damn cool
Beaver knew this already!!!!!
Dam! that's interesting
Damn.. Thats how they build a dam..😮
That was pretty dam interesting🤣🤣
To date there are no dams running multiple banks for turbines why? Well the story you are told is there are issues like turbine surging and dissolved gasses in the flow. This was the case But in Australia RDP Marine has made a turbine system that can be retro fitted
