Which risk increases when setting the tendon duct profile too high within a prestressed concrete bridge beam?

💡 Explanation

Setting the duct profile too high results in excessive upward force from the prestressing, causing premature concrete compressive failure from exceeding stress limits. Therefore, compressive failure risk increases, rather than changing the fatigue life, corrosion or shear strength under normal loads because only the compressive strength changes.
