Which risk increases when a prestressed concrete beam experiences insufficient grout filling during tendon installation?

💡 Explanation

When grout is insufficient, it leaves voids in the tendon duct because it provides a protective alkaline environment, leading to electrochemical oxidation of the steel. Therefore accelerated tendon corrosion occurs, rather than bond loss, concrete creep, or fire susceptibility, needing different material deficiencies.
