Which risk increases when epoxy-coated rebar is improperly handled during placement within concrete forms?

💡 Explanation

When epoxy-coated rebar is damaged during placement, the exposed steel undergoes galvanic corrosion because the epoxy acts as a barrier, and any breach concentrates the electrochemical potential leading to accelerated oxidation of the steel. Therefore accelerated corrosion results, rather than affecting strength or bonding alone which require different mechanisms.
