Which failure is likely if rebar spacing is too close in a reinforced concrete column?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient spacing prevents proper concrete vibration which results in reduced **consolidation**. This creates voids and weakens the bond because close rebar obstructs flow, impacting load transfer, therefore structural integrity is compromised, rather than the steel yielding directly or thermal effects predominating.
