What is a Foundation, Really? | Part 1: The Physics of Soil & Buildings

Imagine holding a beach umbrella on a windy day. The moment a gust hits, it yanks the whole thing out of the earth. Intuitively, you already understand what structural engineers spend years formalizing: the ground is not infinitely strong, and the connection between a building and the earth is the single most important choice in engineering.

Welcome to Part 1 of our 10-part masterclass series on foundations. In this video, we break down foundations from absolute first principles. Whether you're a homeowner, a DIYer, or just fascinated by civil engineering, we'll give you the exact vocabulary and physics you need to understand the hidden world beneath your feet.
