Exploring the engineering principles behind the recent obstruction of the Suez Canal, which caused a weeklong disruption in global shipping traffic. I give a brief overview of the bank effect and dilatancy of coarse-grained soils. Hopefully, the video helps you understand a few of the engineering challenges associated with navigating massive ships through tiny canals and what can happen when they run aground! Errata: - I incorrectly described the landform as the "Suez Peninsula." It is the "Suez Isthmus." Practical Engineering is a YouTube channel about infrastructure and the human-made world around us.
