Which consequence results when sustained overloading induces excessive creep in a viscoelastic polymer concrete composite beam?

💡 Explanation

Excessive creep in the polymer matrix causes progressive increase in deflection over time because the sustained stress induces molecular chain slippage within the polymer. Therefore, deflection increases, rather than remaining stable because of elastic behavior.
