← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when inadequately cured concrete sets around tensioned pre-stressed steel beams?
A)Premature bond failure at anchors✓
B)Increased beam composite load capacity
C)Enhanced resistance to chloride ingress
D)Reduced long-term creep deflection
💡 Explanation
Premature bond failure at anchors occurs, because insufficient concrete strength prevents effective force transfer from steel to concrete via the bond mechanism; therefore, anchorage slips, rather than achieving designed composite action via proper force distribution under load.
