During Roman concrete production, which consequence arose when excessive seawater was used?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated rebar corrosion occurred because chloride ingress caused depassivation of the steel reinforcement, therefore, corrosion occurred rather than prolonged strength due to lack of a passivating layer. *Electrochemical corrosion* is the cause.
