Crash Course
How the Leaning Tower of Pisa Was Saved: Crash Course Engineering #40
This week we’re going underground to explore geotechnical and seismic engineering. We’ll look at how structures connect to the ground and transmit loads through their foundations, and how those foundations need to provide a high bearing...
