Ask an Architect
#21
RE: Ask an Architect
When the Chesapeake Bridge and Tunnel was rammed by a ship many years ago, they rapidly put the bridge back together and got it open.

What I'm wondering is, how did they rebuild the piers in the exact same spot with the smashed and sheared off remains of the old ones right where they needed to put their 150' (IIRC) pilings at ??


Ever look at plans and drawings for the Chicago Spire??? it would have been amazing. I have seen the unfinished foundation work. How long could the foundation sit there and still be usable ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
