Which risk increases when welding rebar directly to structural steel in a concrete column?

💡 Explanation

When welding rebar to structural steel, hydrogen embrittlement occurs because the welding process introduces hydrogen into the steel's microstructure, leading to cracking. Therefore hydrogen embrittlement becomes a risk, rather than corrosion, concrete bond issues or shear stress concentration, which involve different materials and mechanisms.
