Which risk increases when concrete beam reinforcement steel corrodes due to chloride penetration?

💡 Explanation

When rebar corrodes, expansive rust formation occurs because iron oxidizes and byproducts occupy larger volumes, resulting in internal pressure. Therefore tensile cracking results, rather than aggregate failure, buckling, or creep which follow from different deterioration mechanisms involving material properties.
