Hey Rich good job yet again! If ever you have time perhaps you could do a design of retaining wall but also specify the rebar based on the moment and shear that it experiences from the retained soil. Cheers! Your videos are awesome and thanks for those!

anyone who points out the blooper ill pin to the top of the comments section!

Thanks for explaining the difference between active, passive and at-rest soil forces.

Your videos are amazing and I am watching them as took my concrete and timber classes. Please me some excel based problems and how to set up the excel spreadsheet. thank you!

Good job Rich

Awesome video as always, just wondering which are the classes should I pay attention for the eit or the pe exam ? I know I have a long way to go, but I think it’s better to come prepared. Thank you.

Jv are you asking which classes should you take in school to best prep for the exams?

Oh since there’s so many subjects such as fluid mechanics, materials, statics, dynamics and more. I was wondering which I should master by heart to be fully ready for the exam. Thanks.

17:07 thats quick math!

I understand that the square might be inconvenient but isn’t placing it after the bracket implying that you’re going to take a tan of (45-theta/2)^2? You should’ve taken the whole equation in brackets and squared it. (Tan(45-theta/2))^2

where can I find the video of the "full length retaining wall design" you mention at 1:15 ? I need to design a retaining wall for my senior project and need a reference. Great video btw!

Hi Carlos did you happen find the video ...I am having trouble finding it myself.

Does river water exert passive pressure on retaining wall constructed along the banks of river

if the wall is retaining the river water than it would be considered hydrostatic pressures.

Can you please help with a Cantilever Retaining Wall Design ? Please i need it for my project .... Thank you in anticipation

what would you do if the top of the wall wasnt 0plf?

Hi Chris. If you were designing by hand you would have to split the force into a rectangular component and a triangular component and find each components contributing shear and moment on the retaining wall. rectangle would just be at the mid height of rectangle but triangle would be 1/3 from base. hope this helps and great questions!
