← TechnologyWhich structural failure results when concrete is inadequately cured during column construction?
A)Reduced compressive strength develops✓
B)Increased resistance against shear forces
C)Enhanced ductility under tensile load
D)Accelerated rate of chloride penetration
💡 Explanation
Reduced compressive strength results from insufficient concrete curing due to incomplete hydration; therefore, structural columns may buckle prematurely because load bearing capacity diminishes, rather than providing shear strength through aggregate interlock or delaying chloride ingress.
