the biggest issue i can see is that they haven't given
this this thing enough time to Cure, before running
it at full throttle.
Quoting: Kung Fu Lover Exactly. 30 days per inch of concrete. Any additive to accelerate curing weakens the concrete. So it's either still wet or cured but at expense of strength of concrete. This is true. I used to be a concrete contractor. If this shit show continues its regularly scheduled programming, we'll witness an epic collapse of this dam. Unfortunately, the Central Valley which is the richest agricultural region on the planet will be ruined forever. All of you are correct,been in the trades for 35 years. Concrete is a fickle bitch! Depends how far they had to haul it also,can't let concrete heat up,lot of variables. But as much canned fruit as you can afford. They built a concrete plant right on the hillside and made the concrete on site. Also it was over 100 degrees for most of the summer when they were working on the spillways, don't know if that makes any difference. But Oroville Dam is very remote, they had to build a concrete plant and make the concrete right there, it wasn't trucked in.
