(OP)
If I were this engineer, I'd be making sure my professional liability is current.
What do you gents think: Engineer, Contractor, or Force Majeure?

Well the verdict if i was not wrong was contractor. There was not enough training for the workers and the contractor did not reflect the potential problems on site.

Some previous problems with the epoxy were caught in 1994, and 1999, but the bolts on this section were possibly either not pull tested, or the strength of the epoxy prematurely declined.
A rush to finish?

For that design, I would have imbedded threaded bent rods into the supporting concrete to help hold the load.
Poor design from enginners, poor project management from contractor.
I think it's worth removing the concrete slabs and doing something better.
