← TechnologyWhich consequence results when excessive lateral force impacts a pretensioned concrete bridge?
A)Strand slippage induces sudden debonding✓
B)Rebar yields causing concrete spalling
C)Grouted ducts restrict crack propagation
D)Shear keys prevent deck shifting
💡 Explanation
Strand slippage induces sudden debonding because the pretension force is released upon exceeding frictional capacity within the anchorage; therefore, immediate loss of prestress occurs rather than gradual deformation, as with rebar yielding.
