Скачать или смотреть This Construction Water Displacement Is Oddly Satisfying 💧

This is a perfect demonstration of water displacement in construction and it's oddly satisfying to watch! This clip illustrates a common challenge in civil engineering called backfilling. When construction crews dig deep trenches or holes, they often hit groundwater. Instead of trying to pump all the water out (which can be endless), they use Archimedes' principle to their advantage. As heavy gravel is poured into the water-filled hole, it acts like a massive plunger or syringe - the gravel falls and forces the water upward and out of the hole. The gravel is much denser than water (2-4x heavier), so it sinks and displaces the water with incredible force. This method is used to replace unstable, wet soil with a solid, permeable gravel base that provides structural support and improves drainage for foundations, pipelines, and other infrastructure. The gravel packing technique is essential for creating stable foundations in water-rich environments. Physics in action!
