← TechnologyWhich risk increases when reinforced concrete column experiences sustained compressive load exceeding critical buckling load?
A)Concrete spalling from hoop rupture✓
B)Rebar corrosion due to chloride ingress
C)Creep deformation weakening bonds
D)Shear failure from diagonal cracks
💡 Explanation
When compressive load exceeds the critical buckling load, lateral deflection increases causing tensile stress in the hoops, potentially leading to hoop rupture and concrete spalling. Therefore hoop rupture and spalling occur, rather than corrosion affecting rebar directly or shear due to compression dominant load.
