Which risk increases when significant deflection occurs in prestressed concrete support beams?

💡 Explanation

When deflection increases, stress range on prestressing strands also increases because the strain fluctuations accumulate leading to accelerated crack growth from material fatigue. Therefore fatigue cracking increases, rather than buckling, debonding coatings, or spalling, each requiring different triggering mechanisms.
