← TechnologyWhich risk dramatically increases due to improperly sealed epoxy coating of steel I-beams?
A)Accelerated galvanic corrosion undercutting paint✓
B)Increased beam torsional deformation under load
C)Reduced composite action with concrete
D)Decreased shear capacity near weld zones
💡 Explanation
Improper epoxy sealing allows moisture penetration, initiating differential aeration. Accelerated galvanic corrosion then occurs because the exposed and sealed steel create electrochemical potential, therefore corrosion undercuts the coating faster, rather than a uniform reduction of steel thickness.
