Every aspect of the dam is compromised. The design is flawed, the materials used are inferior, it was built in a rushed and political atmosphere with severe corruption. It’s not even anchored to the bedrock. The dams existence is a blight on humanity, and people will only realize the true extent of it all when catastrophic failure occurs.
Now this I can believe. They may have skimped on cement replacing some of it with sand, they may have used rebar without epoxy coating or used thinner bar than required or skimped on the aggregate.
But pulling the rebar out to reuse? LOL not happening.
You cant take rebar out of concrete without destroying the days work forcing you to start from scratch. Think what happens if you try to take the stick out of a popsicle. You have nothing left that resembles a popsicle.
Im a concrete contractor. This is the most ignorant rumor I may have ever heard.
Rumor in China when it was being built was that after hours, workers took rebar back out to use the next day.
