Which compressive force outcome occurs when rebar spacing in a reinforced concrete column is excessively increased?

💡 Explanation

Increased rebar spacing reduces confinement of the concrete core; therefore, premature rebar buckling results as stress isn't distributed effectively due to reduced hoop stress in the rebar, rather than improved axial loading capacity.
