Which risk increases when the rebar cage of a reinforced concrete column is misaligned before pouring?

💡 Explanation

When steel reinforcing cage is misaligned during pouring, the moment of inertia changes, causing decreased resistance to bending; the column can buckle more easily because critical load decreases. Therefore, reduced buckling resistance results, rather than strength gain, improved ductility, or fire resistance, which would require additives.
