Someone posited whether these tests had anything to do with the building collapse in Surfside, FL last night. I have no idea, but kind of coincidental.

----Salt water used for mixing with concrete. Has been outlawed for awhile, but builders back awhile ago just figured "hey, water right here". Salt water concrete and iron rebar-----not a good combo!......Bill S

----They are not to my knowledge saying anything yet, but it is a problem with older condos on or near the beach. We will see how it plays out! My buddies condo on the beach in Oakland Park has had its balconies done over twice. He said that's enough and sold about 5 years ago!......Bill S

When rebar rusts it expands. That causes the concrete to crack.
