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

something extremely hydrophobic. but you didnt say what you are trying to protect, that matters.

who is she? (he?)

>Le nerdy book

>tihihi, Anons, I'm so smart! Totally not showing off how pretty I am.

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
>>
>>9070649
anyone have the one with knives, fidget spinners, and wallets for males?
>>
>>9070674
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
>>
>>9070702
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
>>
>>9070721
> What are some good hydrophobic materials?
scotchguard. seriously. spray some on a fabric and spill water on it
>>
>>9070729
But wouldn't that be bad for the soul and plants
>>
>>9070742
soil*
>>
>>9070746
>>9070742
why would you spray it on the plants? spray it on the building
>>
>>9070749
But wouldn't it seep into the soil?
>>
???
>>
>>9070627
>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.

t.geotech

side note: that pic makes Sasha look attractive, something I didn't think was possible.
>>
>>9071455
Okay thank you for the advice.
>>
>>9070866
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.

What does your average "day on the job" entail? Also, what computer software is needed to be known?

I'm ashamed to admit this makes me emotionally respond with a feeling of love.

Am also wondering this

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.

Lpile, Xstabl, and geostudio.

So that's how it pulls so many into it at once. It has its own gravitational force

Are these three really the only programs?
>>
>>9070643
I really enjoyed the research she did on black holes
>>
>>9075098
there are lots of others out there but having those three on your resume will help you get a job.
>>
>>9075653
Okay

>>9070643
Its not even a nerdy book. Existentialism is a very common theme in mainstream literature. Still a dumb pic regardless.
