Which outcome occurs when improper shimming induces excessive prestress?

💡 Explanation

Excessive prestress concentrates compression beyond design limits; thus concrete crushing occurs because localized forces overwhelm material strength near anchor points. Therefore concentrated crushing happens, rather than uniform deformation or steel yielding under balanced conditions.
