Which outcome occurs when concrete’s water permeability exceeds specification limits in rebar-reinforced columns?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated rebar corrosion occurs because excessive water infiltration allows chloride ions to penetrate, initiating chloride-induced corrosion of the steel rebar; this is electrochemical reaction, rather than an improvement in strength. Therefore, rebar corrodes; rather than enhanced protection.
