← TechnologyWhich outcome is enabled by *hoop stress* in a pre-stressed concrete column?
A)Increased axial load capacity✓
B)Reduced creep deformation rate
C)Enhanced shear force resilience
D)Minimized thermal expansion effects
💡 Explanation
Increased axial load strength arises due to the *hoop stress* created by pre-stressing which strengthens the column internally, because this compressive force offsets the tensile stresses from applied axial load. Therefore maximizing axial capacity, rather than shear, thermal stability or creep.
