Any materials scientists/engineers here? What is the best materials to use to avoid damage from wet soils and water in the following situations: 1. For housing plants and soil in a building 2. Underwater construction
And don't say concrete. I'm not talking about most economic or cost effective. I'm talking about best
Ryan Smith
something extremely hydrophobic. but you didnt say what you are trying to protect, that matters.
Isaac Edwards
who is she? (he?)

These are the worst kind of people.

It would be used in a building, I want to protect plants/soil and the actual material from corrosion and in another case would just be in a building where I would like to protect the building from any sort of corrosion or growth of moss etc and there'll be people inside
Levi Powell
anyone have the one with knives, fidget spinners, and wallets for males?
Jacob Ross
i still don't fully understand what you want to do with this. Protect plants and soil? or protect the building from plants and soil? Buildings don't really get damaged from water or soil, it's usually termites or foundation shifting
Xavier Johnson
I mean "damaged" aesthetically. As in mould, moss, rust, etc. from the water. But I don't want to use a standard material like plastic or ceramic. What are some good hydrophobic materials?
By the way this is theoretical. I don't actually have to do it
Cooper Murphy
> What are some good hydrophobic materials? scotchguard. seriously. spray some on a fabric and spill water on it
Jonathan Brown
But wouldn't that be bad for the soul and plants
Mason Sullivan
soil*
Oliver Ross
why would you spray it on the plants? spray it on the building
Kevin Nelson
But wouldn't it seep into the soil?
Hunter Diaz
???
Thomas Jackson
>Underwater construction you could dewater the site, but depending on the depth to groundwater and soil permeability that may or may not be feasible. alternatively caissons would be the go to method.
>For housing plants and soil in a building concrete floor slab with good drainage.

side note: that pic makes Sasha look attractive, something I didn't think was possible.
Liam Thompson
Okay thank you for the advice.
Cameron Brown
no idea, but what would dissolve it so it would seep down? water wont. Alternatively, deck sealant.

I'm interested in becoming a geotechnical engineer. I'm doing a civil degree at the moment.

it starts off primarily in the field doing subsurface investigations, i.e. drilling and soil sampling. You might, alternatively, start your career in a materials testing lab. Either way, youll need both kinds of experience. Then you transition into writing design recommendation reports based on that field and lab data, and directing other people to carry out that field and lab work for your reports. After 4 years I am not 90% in the office at a desk managing field staff and drafting reports. It is absolutely critical you register for and take, and pass, the F.E. exam your senior year.

there are lots of others out there but having those three on your resume will help you get a job.

Its not even a nerdy book. Existentialism is a very common theme in mainstream literature. Still a dumb pic regardless.
