Thanks Jim and everyone with ideas.

The buried section is painted...i think i must remove paint for better contact with concrete for good conductivity.

Jim,

Thanks for the idea...Are those extra 22 or 23 ft of AWG 4 bare copper connected in some place of the buried section ???..

Just run it generally around the buried section. Concrete is fairly conductive, and you've got a lot of surface area.
