They were nuclear missle launching pads after all... They were expected to be 
bombed at some point...

Geez Curt,
That sounds like the concerete and rebar in a nuclear containment!!  
When we 
installed firewater mods the drill bits didn;t last very long and we 
went 
through a bunch of them for each hole.

On 2nd thought I wonder if the rebar was as thick as you encountered?  
That 
sounds *really* bad!  More like steel with a thin coating of concrete!

stuff.

  $13.50 a gallon. I didn't think that was so bad in my little town of 
7,000 mostly non-Mercedes drivers.

Check out 
http://www.airfields-freeman.com/ME/Airfields_ME_N.htm#presqueisle
Scroll down to Presque Isle Air Defense Command and look at the Snark 
launch pads. Those were built in '58-'60. They're still there.
A couple years ago Dad's company was hired to figure out what they really 
are, all plans of course are top secret. We went up to drill a core 
sample, I gave up at 9' of solid concrete that was absolutely FULL of huge 
pieces of rebar. You could have built a Kia out of the rebar we took out 
of a 3" core hole that was 9' feet long...


Last I knew (spring before last) one of the pads had a firewood processor 
sitting on it. The firewood company was concerned they'd break the 
concrete. We assured them that wasn't going to happen in our lifetime.

The Government really could spec re-bar to excess - when we built the
Titan2
silos, they used the largest rebar made, 2 1/4" diameter, on 12"
centers
both vertical and horizontal, inside wall and outside wall - and the
concrete was 8 ft thick on the top half of the silo walls.  Concrete
was
also "Class A", had to meet 3000 psi compressive strength.
Most house cellar walls I've seen in the last 20 years have been poured
with
cheap concrete between forms and without any wire or steel to keep
cracks
from separating.  Most of the time the builder is long gone before too
many
cracks show up, or the owner just doesn't see them or know that it
isn't
"normal".
