A company has been hired to carry out an assessment on a reinforced concrete railway tunnel which has been exposed to contaminated soil caused by the neighboring industrial sewer tanks. Discuss and highlight the steps required for both site inspection and selection of appropriate tests and methodology which should be used to identify the type of deterioration.

You are a trainee at the building site which had 3000 NFP bricks delivered. You then determined the compressive strength of each bricks as per SANS227 testing regulations. Bricks were ordered with a nominal compressive strength of 3,5 MPa and minimum individual value of 3,0 Mpa. The results from the lab are as follows: Compressive strength Sample 2 3,4 3,7 Sample 1 3,4 Sample 3 3,4 3,7 Brick no 1 3,7 3 3,5 3,5 3,5 3,2 3,7 3,2 3,3 4 3,2 5 3,7 4,1 3,6 4,0 7 3,9 3,4 3,9 8 3,1 3,1 3,1 3,3 3,3 3,3 2,9 3,1 3,6 3,4 10 3,9 11 4,1 3,8 12 3,7 3,7 From the above set of results, state whether these bricks would be accepted or rejected for based on their strength.
