Dam Breach Experiment #5 - Double Sided Mini Bricks Sand Dam Failure
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- Hello guys! In today's video, we made an amazing construction of a miniature dam with mini bricks, sand and LEGO. See in the new Dam Breach Experiment video how to this model dam can withstand the powerful pressure of real water or the mini dam will collapse again
1:19 as you can see the water slowly wets the sand
This is a major problem faced by Dam construction, the seeping of water inside the dam materials or around it because once it starts to weaken it's game over
That's why the most moisture resistant concrete is necessary for building dams
You are absolutely right!
Seapage is fine, just the whole thing got saturated and there was no structure inside to divert the seepage to a further distance, also doesn't help its unreenforced and using a material that is very weak, though it does show a dam would collapse if not built correctly, and even then, this dam did better then most of his other models.
In my opinion there isn't enough glue-like material to hold the bricks together
@@KingOfDams Ayo I love your videos
Thanks
Ah yes, the water always wins in the end. This one stood up very well though in fairness. We like watching your dam buster vids with the lego and cars. I always say to my son afterwards, there must be some clean up operation involved after, sifting through to find all the minifigs and vehicles.
I am very glad that you like my videos! And, of course, cleaning up after shooting a video makes me depressed :)
@@KingOfDams there a easy way, take all the sand and place it on a grid, then wash the sand with water
Dgdddddf👍🌺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It ALWAYS does .
@@KingOfDams love all your videos really shows the power of water and how dangerous it is when it breaks loose .
I'm wondering what would happen if you didn't have so much sand as the major part of the structure? Like a whole "pyramid" of bricks for the entire thickness. I mean, in the same shape as in the video, but made mostly of bricks with just enough sand to plug up the leaks from happening. (You've probably already done that and I just haven't seen it yet.)
Thanks for the interesting idea!
As always, seeing your designs slowly collapse under the force of water is super satisfying! 😁
I am so glad you think so! Thank you very much!
@@KingOfDams honestly I think seeing it in reverse is the most satisfying thing.
@@jeffgiles2310 true
Even if the dam isn't lego
*I still know it's lego*
2:22 as you can see the guy with orange cape survived... because he grab with his bare hands that huge brick...
And he didn't fell to death!!😂
That's a very exciting channel XD💗
I am glad you think so :)
Pro tip, use a cement-like mixture. Mix flour and a bit of milk. Then add water. Keep mixing it and add a lot more flour. Then freeze it for 2-3 days. Put it between bricks to hold them together. I hope this helped :D!
Thanks for the tips!
Seeing these dam failure experiments are really entertaining! Especially when they actually start collapsing!
2:00 I love that Titanic reference 😂😂
I am glad you like it :)
City council: Dear client, here is ur monthly water bill, may we ask the reason for the abnormally high water usage reading for your area?
Utoobah: **stacking Lego figurines**
its complicated
hahaha :)
*Wait how'd you find out about their life*
I watched this when i was younger, Still gives me the same amount of enjoyment
how young bc this was posted in 2021
Yeah, how young?
@@localdude3702 other videos in the past, i'm not talking about this specific video. But i see the misconception
@@atlas_1802 Idk like 3-4 years ago not this video but other videos
I am so glad you think so, my friend!!
I love how you use Lego minifigures as victims lol
I am glad you like it :)
@@KingOfDams keep up the great work you just gained a sub

A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER IN LEGO CITY!
Lol:)
....HEY
Build the rescue helicopter
Strange that it failed earlier than the straight sand dam...but the failure was more controlled because of the bricks
It's probably the weight of the bricks collapsing themselves
You really should try to do a video where you build your strongest dam and see if you can knock it over.
Ok, I'll try!
this is my favorite channel
I am so glad you think so!
Wow mini bricks+sand=powerfull
Oh yes :)
Fun to see the Lego minifig grabbing to the dam wreck at the end to try to survive
Cool xD
Nice swimming pool
I am glad you like it :)
At 2:08 The Guy At The Top Be Like: Sir The Dam Is Collapsing! Oh God Ah-
Btw Nice Vid Man
Thanks :)
Wery cool i love it
I am glad you think so! Thank you very much!
finally something healthy to see on youtube i love it more please
I am so glad you think so!!
It is all so simple: stop your core from liquidising, so protect it from the foundation up with an imperious layer ( glad wrap?) under the ' protective ' outer layer of bricks. The Dutch have known this since Adam was a half grown Friesian around 1600 AD.
Cool idea!
Construction workers: CLIMB FOR YOUR LIFE! AHH IM LOSING GRI-
Lol:)
Nice video
Thank you!
I cant believe this monster would drown poor innocent LEGO men for the sake of an experiment, this is truly evil
I hope you can forgive me :)
Hi! I was following you from the 2013, now I have 13 years and still watching you!
Я тоже давно на него подписан)
I too)
same
Thank you!
Я очень рад что Вы со мной так долго!
Hi! I am very glad that you have been with me for so long!
What I learned from this is that men standing on bricks will float. Thank you civil engineering.
Welcome :)
I wonder how this would have held if you had the sand reinforced by several interspersed layers of cloth (or even cardboard or paper). I forget the exact engineering term, but that is supposed to guard against undesired sifting and make this dam much more formidable. Enjoyable video!
This is interesting! Thank you!
I would like to see, endurance testing to see how long it can hold back water but at a lower level
Hmm, ok, I'll try
@@KingOfDams basically fill it up as much as possible before any leaks occur. Probably 40-70% (perhaps to 99% if the dam is good enoughl) full depending on the dam. Just time how long it takes before any water gets past the dam and how long it takes before the dam itself breaks without increasing the amount of water it has to hold back
Normal people watching: Ah, it’s so satisfying to see the dam fall…
Me watching: JOHN, TAKE MY HAND, SO YOU SURVIVE! JOHN! NOOOOOOO
Same lmaooooo
Same.
Haha yeh mate
The thing that really gets me is that the dam collapsed just from the water being there. The tank was filled so that there was a minimum amount of current, and a minimum amount of waves lapping at the wall. Yet it still fell.
What if you the fast current of a river flowing past? Or maybe pounding ocean waves? That thing would not hold up.
River embankment? Nope!
Sea wall? Not a chance!
Water is a powerful force ..
1:59 Respect to the man with radio he jumped to try to safe worker.
Hero!
Loved the video
Cool 😎
I am so glad you like it, my friend!
@@mazedude5911 Thank you!
@@KingOfDams thank you for saying thank you 😊
And thats why you dont build dams out of sand. Never would have guessed that
Lol :)
0:45 that guy was trying to sabotage
the dam ! ⛏⛏⛏
Lol :)
I bet raising the level of flat sand on both sides would help keep the hill of the levee from sliding.
Hmm, you are right
This is more than fantastic.
Wow.. I am so glad you think so, thank you!
Sugoi👍👍
Since 2016 i watch ur vidoes until 2018 and i came back in 2021
Welcome back!
This guy deserves more popularity
Lego mini figures:ooh it’s flooding
Water:so you have chosen death
All survived :)
Ironically, bricks are made of baked clay, if you used wet clay to seal the water side of the dam the water never would have got through to make it collapse. But your way is much cooler...
Как понимаю, главная причина раннего разрушения была в недостаточной плотности песка (не утрамбовали).
Хорошо видно, что мокрый песок смог самопроизвольно уплотниться и разрушить конструкцию.
Скорее всего вы правы
@@KingOfDams че за музыка?
2:02 Titanic
Me: **PLAYS TITANIC THEME SONG**
Lol :)
Should put some water running system beneath the dam..they got uplift force..thats why its collapse
You are right
This is why you need to have a layer of impermeable material in between the sand base and the water. A layer of clay behind the brick layer would have kept the structure sound for much longer.
You are absolutely right, but would such a video be interesting?
Yes this is looking like Titanic last seen 😂😂😂
Привет из России🇷🇺
Привет! Я сам из России :)
If you continue to fill the water basin so the water goes over the top of the damn then of course it's going to fail. Stop filling it once the water reaches the top and then see what happens.
I've never actually seen the water go over a dam before...
Water is so powerful! That's why I love water.
I agree with you :)
Tasty too
This was better than a disaster movie
toto video mi zmenilo život
K lepšiemu? :)
Very good
Thank you!
This looks more like a dutch dike, it's really similar, also it's failure is similar.
This is a really accurate simulation of a dike failure
Glad you think so!
you should make one where you use WET send to build the dam. I bet that would hold up because the water would not saturate the structure and cause it to shift
Ok, I'll try!
@@KingOfDams I hope i'm wrong and it doesn't work LOL it's more fun watching the water overtake whatever construction dares to get in it's path!
i love it
Glad you like it!
I love your videos so I subscribe
Welcome, my friend!!
These videos are way more exciting played at 2x speed
Satisfying
Thanks!
Woooooooooooooow😱😱😱😱😱
Thx :)
I love watching these videos! I pretend in my mind hearing the voices of the Lego characters screaming for their life as they are slowly engulfed into the ocean.
Wow.. Glad you like it :)
A dam has has fallen down in LEGO city!
Hahaha :)
How can you call your self a king when the dams never work
There are many such "kings: in the world..
I love this channel man
I am glad that you are with me, my friend!
Cool experiment that you have dude
Thank you!
I was 22 y/o but my nature is like a child
You and I are very similar :)
I cannot believe this massive construction error, they didnt put any mortar inbetween the bricks, even legos would have worked better, they were lucky that the stagnation of the water slowed down the erosion, but it was foolish of them to lay down a dam on such weak soil. Which lego engineer has to be fired that thought this was a good idea. They could have avoided this terrible disaster if they had just opened a emergency spill way but they just stood there! They didnt evacuate or anything! No sympathy for them! I feel bad only for the tax payers.
The situation here is very simple - the contractor for the construction was chosen at the lowest price. :)
quite interesting !
Glad you think so!

1:38 JOSH HOLD MY HAND GET UP HERE DONT LET GO 2:20 NO DONT LET GO NOOOOO 2:23 NOOO BOB!!!!
Lol :)
This dude’s making bank off of legos, water, sand and bricks
Yes..:)
Nice.
Thanks!
2:20 the one drop of water expands 1mm and ends the world.
Wow...
Let us make a “F” chain for all those poor lego men
Lol:)
Would be interesting to see how this would have held up if the foundations were buried.
I will try to do it next time
Hello I 🇷🇺 Привет я русский
Привет!
Who else pretends like the lego figures are saying stuff?
Many do it :)
Pls do 3 lego dam breaches every week and 4 brick ones a week
Sorry, but I can only make a video with LEGO twice a month.
When you put the bricks together with cement, can you reuse the bricks without destroying them?
Yes, cement dissolves completely in water every other day
@@KingOfDams ok thanks.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this why dams have a limit to how high the water table can go?
You are absolutely right
@@KingOfDams Thanks for the reply! I enjoy the videos!
A dam is about to fail in LEGO city!
Lol :)
0:57 RIP Lego lad.
Trop bien
Merci beaucoup

A man has fallen into the river, in lego city! *HEY!!!*
Lol:)
Top 10 saddest Lego Deaths
Lol :)
Yo fui el like 8000

- Take my hand!
Lol
Me I love his videos like why are they so satisfying some people I don’t get it my mind this is so satisfying
U should try make one with a concrete/ clay foundation
I don't think it will be that interesting
Lego dude: these damn dams are always falling apart!
Lol:)
Hey you have only two legos poor man
it's because I'm from Russia..
Lego lives matter
Yes!
Damn! Who ordered to open the gates with construction men still working on the dam? I hope all Lego families at least get insurance.
Hahaha :)
1:39 man on top: *sees crack
Man on top: oh no! 1 second later at 1:40 Both men: AAAAAA *boom*
Lol :)
Lego men! Stop using sand for your dams!
They have plastic heads..
Try use cemented wall vs sand wall, thats the fact test
Ok!
Nice
Thanks
Okay what if you took hot glue and used that to seal the bricks like mortar? That should keep the water back
Thanks for your interesting idea!
Man have these people still not learned how to make a god *dam* dam
