yet when we take a closer look at the stock building of many top lofts by our northern neighbours, the same names crop up time and again. Naming names would be too risky… just because there would be the chance of forgetting a few important ones. Many of these reports or books published… were indirectly the cause of other fanciers going to obtain reinforcements by these ‘top fanciers’… as a result of which the ‘dominant characteristics’ of their pigeons started forming the basis to top successes in the pigeon sport, also in other lofts. Call it on our part ‘dominant breeding pigeons’ (cock or hen)… or a ‘dominant breeding couple’ that lie (lies) at the basis of years of top successes in the pigeon sport! In the history books or in various reports about prominent lofts reference is easily made to a superior ‘pigeon pedigree’… although on closer inspection the entire happenings revolve around that one specific ‘top couple’, or around 1 or a few superior stock pigeons… and their direct family.

Due to limited documentation on this problem, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District requested a study of the relationship of the 0.01-inch crack width to corrosion induced failure.Specific pedigrees… although we prefer to speak of ‘specific stock pigeons’… always turn up in pedigrees of ‘new crack pigeons’ in a later generation. Over the years, there have been numerous discussions as to the degree of interior cracking that can be tolerated in relation to the integrity and life expectancy of reinforced concrete pipe.

Pipe industry professionals have observed the use of precision measurement technology without a full appreciation of the limitations of the equipment and the human factors involved.

All parties involved should be aware of the insignificance of a 0.01-inch crack. Spangler, a well-respected authority and early pioneer in the design of concrete pipe, should be taken into consideration when designing, installing, inspecting, or funding a project using reinforced concrete pipe, (RCP). Such a conclusion is utterly ridiculous and represents a disservice, not only to the concrete pipe industry, but taxpayers as well.” This quote from Professor M.G. “Some engineers insist that a crack in a concrete pipe in excess of 0.01-inch represents a failure or partial failure situation.
