Which 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.
