WHY Retaining Walls FALL down - How Most people Build them Wrong

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter concludes the video by summarizing the key takeaway: geogrid is the most important component for any retaining wall over 4 feet tall, or those with a slope or surcharge behind them. He reinforces that neglecting geogrid can lead to catastrophic failure, citing a real-world example of a 14-foot wall that collapsed in two years due to its absence. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding geogrid and geo-engineering principles to ensure long-lasting and stable retaining walls, encouraging viewers to watch upcoming videos for more real-world application examples.

Goal: Reiterate the vital importance of geogrid and encourage further learning on geo-engineering.

walk you through these retaining walls and show you what I mean so that you can hopefully start to take what we're learning today and actually see it in action in realworld jobs. So make sure you stick around for that video. Let me know in the comments down below what you thought of this. Did this demonstration of how geogrid work actually helped you guys understand it at all better? The reason I did this is because, like I said, I went out to a customer's site, 14 foot retaining wall, and he didn't have any geogrid in it. And unfortunately, his wall fell down in 2 years. And that's when I realized I'm not covering this topic well enough. And so I want to beat this over your heads that it's the most important thing for any retaining wall over four feet tall or if the retaining wall has a slope behind it or a sir charge the weight of a building. It becomes found fundamentally the most important thing you can do. God bless. Go get them and check out these two videos right here you guys. And make sure you stick around because we are going out to site and looking at a couple walls that just make you kind of go hm. See you on the next one.
