What results after excessive anchorage deformation within post-tensioned concrete?

A)Progressive creep strain increase
B)Increased shear capacity demand
C)Improved composite flexural strength
D)Reduced susceptibility to thermal expansion

💡 Explanation

Local compressive stress concentration is initiated when anchorage loses its rigidity leading to the mechanism of progressive creep deformation; because the steel-concrete interface degrades under excessive loading, it accumulates deformation which reduces long term stability, therefore inducing progressive creep, rather than any change in strength.
