For a prestressed concrete bridge, which outcome results when excessive tensile force relaxes?

💡 Explanation

Reduced capacity occurs when anchorage slip allows tendon movement; the prestressing transfer length requires full strand bond. Because the composite action weakens, therefore the load capacity declines, rather than enhances alternative behaviors.
