I can confirm 40 of that. Late 70s we were consuming about 2 flatbeds full a day of assorted sizes of rebar. At first we got a partial truckload of imported steel and didn't know it. #3 #4 #5 should be able to be tied in a pretzel without breaking, but that shit wouldn't bend 75 degrees before it would snap. You could hardly bend it all. We sent back numerous flatbeds full, before the supplier finally believed that we were serious about not excepting the imported crap.

I always wondered how much of what was built with that shit that didn't need to be bent. Pretty scary thought, when you know, and look at it objectively.

Did we ever get a final prognosis about that pedestrian bridge in Miami?
