Which consequence results when a pre-stressed concrete column's tensioning cable corrodes under sustained load?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cable area lowers the resisting moment, so elastic instability via Euler's formula causes the column's critical buckling load to decrease significantly. Therefore, buckling risk climbs considerably, rather than shear strength rising when steel mass declines.
