Concrete Compressive Strength of a Bridge Pier
Concrete Compressive Strength of a Bridge Pier
(OP)
I was asked this question in one interview:
What would you do if you find out that the Concrete compressive strength of one pier of a bridge was less than that one in he specifications. Assuming the pier was already poured.
I did not know exactly what is the right answer for this question

Coring in identical locations could also provide information for a comparison to other piers.

I believe they were asking me what kind of decision/steps I would take to fix the problem. I assume the concrete strength was already measured and compared and found to be less in strength in that pier. I think it's more like a personality question.
What would you do Mr. Dick if you found yourself in a situation like that ?

If cored, then you should establish before hand what the results will mean...
