← TechnologyWhich failure risk increases when subsurface rebar experiences stray current?
A)Accelerated electrolytic corrosion weakening members✓
B)Reduced concrete tensile strength initially
C)Increased steel hardness prematurely quenches
D)Elevated carbon dioxide emission directly
💡 Explanation
Electrolytic corrosion accelerates, especially with chlorides present because differential voltage promotes **electrolysis**, removing rebar metal ions; therefore structural integrity weakens drastically, rather than just immediate concrete matrix effects or direct gas production.
