Which risk increases when tendon anchorage fails following concrete pour?

💡 Explanation

Failure of the anchorage causes loss of the compressive force from prestressing, therefore, the beam's resistance to bending is diminished, rather than other localized failures, because the entire section relies on the balanced stress distribution for moment capacity.
