On the Mechanics of Wet Sand

Sand is a critical component of many built environments. As most of us learn (via sand castle), adding just the right amount of water allows sand to be quite strong. But with too little water — or too much — sand is prone to collapse. For those of us outside the construction industry, we’re most likely to run into this problem on the beach while digging holes in the sand. In this Practical Engineering video, Grady explains the forces that stabilize and destabilize piled sand and where the dangers of excavation lie. (Video and image credit: Practical Engineering)
