Where did you find the specification of this one specific bollard and where is the furnace that it is supposed to protect? If there is nothing to protect, why should it be up to the same standard?
We can see that it is damaged, there is really no need to discuss it. It did not bend concrete but the steel tube. The concrete just snaps, it can’t handle bending. It is just in there to prevent collapsing of the tube, so compression, which concrete can do really well.
There is also no other way for this to happen other than the bollard bending or a crane etc. dropping the car.

Sunken ones are the same and given such a dumb statement you clearly know you’re wrong now but won’t admit it.
The concrete is not there to prevent the tube from collapsing. You have that completely backwards.
It’s clearly not bent. Get your eyes checked.
