Dunno if any of you remember some of the discussions on concrete design where I explained that you always consider the concrete on the tensile side to be broken, and the only things holding the tension are the reinforcing ?
The concrete itself can handle compressive loads without the reinforcing.
Clearly somebody who does some thinking though well why put all that heavy concrete on the side that's considered broken anyway, and just add to the load on eht bridge with useless broken concrete...
That's clever.
