Which consequence results when excessive vibration occurs, exceeding a reinforced concrete beam's damping capacity?

💡 Explanation

Fatigue cracking accelerates because the beam's cyclical stress exceeds material endurance limits through a process of stress concentration; this is known as fatigue crack propagation. Therefore, cracks will form rapidly, rather than the material gaining strength under dynamic stress.
