← TechnologyWhich risk increases when improperly aligned concrete formwork is used during column construction?
A)Honeycombing due to inadequate vibration
B)Cold joints formation during continuous pour
C)Lateral instability during concrete curing✓
D)Chloride ingress leading reinforcing corrosion
💡 Explanation
When formwork is misaligned, increased non-uniform lateral pressure occurs because the concrete's center of mass shifts, leading to uneven load distribution during setting. Therefore lateral instability risk increases, rather than honeycombing, cold joints, or corrosion which are caused by other defects.
