https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/884f61dd-b699-4dd6-b806-3446c0bd2f35 Let's set the record straight for a few construction misconceptions! Errata: The shot at 4:16 is of the Greek Acropolis (not a Roman structure). Over the past 6 years of reading emails and comments from people who watch Practical Engineering, I know that parts of heavy construction are consistently misunderstood. So, I pulled together a short list of the most common misconceptions. Hope you don't mind just a little bit of ranting from me 😉 Watch this video and the entire Practical Engineering catalog ad-free on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/practical-engineering Practical Engineering is a YouTube channel about infrastructure and the human-made world around us.
