Which outcome accelerates oxidation in a prestressed concrete beam when chloride penetration compromises the passivating layer?

💡 Explanation

Reduced beam shear load capacity increase because chloride ions induce chloride-induced corrosion. The **depassivation** removes the protective oxide layer, therefore rendering the prestressing steel susceptible to premature failure due to rust rather than maintaining its designed tensile strength under load.
