Which risk increases when insufficiently embedded rebar subjected to seismic loading?

💡 Explanation

Loss of bond strength increases the likelihood of beam-column joint shear failure in a concrete structure during seismic events, because inadequate embedment length prevents development of full tensile capacity in rebar, therefore causing premature joint failure, rather than rebar yielding.
