So a while ago I think I wrote about inspecting a ramp and how we found pier columns with extensive cracking before they had been opened for traffic.
After non-destructive testing was done they found out that one column had significantly lower compressive strength than the design called for.
The ramp was not opened and repairs were ordered. The superstructure was braced with shoring and the top of the concrete pier column was taken done to the reinforcement and the concrete was placed again.
The other week when I was in the area I noticed that the ramp was opened October 3rd to all traffic and was the last ramp to open for this project.
