Re Champlain towers . . .

Only one structure built of concrete in North America has ever been built with a 100 year warranty on the concrete . . . The Confederation bridge to PEI. Sand 'which always contains salt, had to be washed and tested before mixing. All the steel rod in the structure was rubber coated to prevent corrosion. Slump tests were mandatory, warrantying crushed stone content. I wager none of these things are even on the planning books anywhere else . . . SOO . . . concrete begins to fail after 40 years and goes down from there . . . Depending on all the salt, rust and gravel content and the local environment as well . . . Salty air anyone ?
