Another thought... The Bay Bridge in San Fran. The eastern 'replacement' span (for the damaged by earthquake section) is nearing completion. Most of it is prestressed concrete and cassion cast pillars.

The 'transition section', and some of the approaches are being built in Mainland China and shipped here for 'assembly'.... the project is months late, several billion over budget and now, even prior to 'assembly' are suffering cracked welds. Steel is failing quality control checks for content. Of course, contract engineers have flown to China at great expense to personally oversee welding and fabrication, but are complaining of constant sickness from food poisoning, haha.

Another cheap Chinese insult to this country. All sanctioned by our government.
