Which risk increases substantially when concentrated loads bypass shear reinforcement along concrete beams?

💡 Explanation

High concentrated point loads bypass shear reinforcement along the beam's span causing diagonal tension cracking because principle tensile stresses propagate rapidly without adequate resistance; therefore cracking accelerates rather than corrosion or creep, which occur slowly.
