The I40 bridge at Memphis was closed most of last summer due to a break in the beam that keeps the arches from pushing outward. It was inspected by a drone taking high resolution images several times but never flagged that it was seen.........because the inspector never looked at them. When a physical inspection by boots on the bridge saw the break in the beam they immediately closed the bridge. The break can be seen in the drone images for several years back. That inspector was fired but their process was also bad because those images should never be looked at by only one person especially if failing to do ones job will cost lives. It will take some time before they know why it cracked. Bad steel, bad design, bad installation or bad maintenance.

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

Company I drive for hauls Clay to Cement producers, they blend Clay into Cement making it lighter, and SUPPOSEDLY Stronger, clay is ever more water soluble than Cement where cement is water reactive to promote Exothermic binding. Clay however allows water to enter the concrete, same for Fly Ash. NO 'Dirt'(IE Clay/Ash) was ever allowed in Concrete prior to the early 50s trying to 'Stretch it', I fear we are seeing what that Stretching accomplishes.
My FIL spoke on this pretty often blaming not long enough Kiln Cycles for poor Cement, he had NO CLUE that Clay additives are and had been placed in Cement.
