← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when non-uniform thermal expansion impacts prestressed concrete structures?
A)Increased shear stress development✓
B)Reduced creep under sustained load
C)Enhanced damping of vibrations
D)Improved resistance to carbonation
💡 Explanation
Thermal gradients induce internal stresses, therefore differential strains activate crack propagation due to reduced tensile capacity by 'thermal prestress relaxation,' because non-uniform heating affects the pre-tensioning force; rather than vibration dampening which is related to material properties.
