Which risk sharply increases during concrete bridge construction if prestressing cable tension rate exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Excessive cable tension causes concrete spalling because the mechanism of exceeding compressive stress capacity leads to surface fracturing, therefore cracks originate and propagate rather than uniform compression; this is worse with rapid tension.

• Which machining error emerges when a lathe's gib screws loosen?
• Which consequence results when a turbocharger's VGT mechanism seizes?
• Which consequence results when excessive downforce is applied during centerless grinding?
• Which outcome occurs when tight stack-up tolerances are not maintained in the assembly of a multi-stage centrifugal pump?
• Which risk increases when an engine's detonation frequency surpasses pre-ignition thresholds?
