ly responsible for the failure" is a
sentence taken from the report of C.
B. Mccullough, engineer, of the Ore
gon Agricultural college, after an in
vestigation of the Independence bridge
failure.
'sFor this careless construction the
contractor is in a large measure re-
sponsible but the county is in minor
degree responsible (morally at least)
in that careful inspection was not in
sisted upon continues the report
made to County Roadmaster Finn.
At the request of Roadmaster Finn
Professor Mccullough made thor
ough inspection of the Independence
bridge after the collapse. He took
samples of the concrete from the col
umns, bars, slabs and other portions
and these were submitted to Profess
sor S. HI. Graf of the college who sub
mitted them to compression and chem
ical tests.
The report says that the design Of
the bridge was NOT faulty.
"There is no data TO warrant the
belief that the cement was in any
wav responsible for the failuren saws

"The bond between aggregate and
m.rtar was evervwbere found to be
cerv moor and connected lines of air
voids surrounding the stone were ey-
ervwhere apparent Such a condition
could have but one explanation: the
concrete was deposited too wet and a
film of excess water (not forced to the
surface bv a thorough working of the
mass) had. upon being slowly drawn
to the surface left the aggregate sep
arated from the mortar by a line of
connected air voids.
"In view of these facts it is not
that the structure failed,
in fact the surprising fact is that
more concrete of this type does not
failv
The conclusion and recommendation
of the report follows:
l. The failure of the bridge at In
dependence was the result of careless
and incorrect methods of placing the
concrete.
2. The contractor is in a large
responsible in that he did not
exercise due preeaution.
g. The specifications are in part
in that they did NOT def
n;telv provide for A method of plac-
inc concrete through the "tremie.' -
