← TechnologyWhich risk is amplified when concrete is poured too slowly around densely packed rebar?
A)Increased chloride ion penetration towards rebar
B)Accelerated rebar corrosion due to honeycombing✓
C)Reduced concrete compressive strength overall
D)Higher thermal expansion mismatched stresses
💡 Explanation
When concrete is poured too slowly through dense rebar layouts, inadequate consolidation proceeds because air voids are trapped forming honeycombing around bars, reducing protection and allowing moisture/air exposure, accelerating corrosion. Therefore accelerated rebar corrosion results, rather than uniform reactions which require proper mix and application.
