Which risk increases when steam injection during concrete curing elevates humidity prematurely in a pre-stressed beam?

A)Increased tendon stress corrosion cracking
B)Reduced concrete tensile strength
C)Decreased thermal expansion coefficient
D)Elevated concrete compressive strength

💡 Explanation

Premature high humidity from steam injection causes increased alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) because it provides the needed moisture. Therefore accelerated tendon corrosion becomes the risk rather than strength changes, which are more directly related to temperature.
