← ScienceWhich consequence commonly results when deicing roads with high quantities of NaCl?
A)Increased metallic bridge support corrosion✓
B)Localized concrete expansion increases
C)Reduced asphalt fatigue crack propagation
D)Enhanced tire grip maximizes braking torque
💡 Explanation
Increased corrosion occurs due to sodium chloride's ionic nature increasing electrolyte availability, which enhances oxidation. Galvanic corrosion accelerates therefore, weakening bridge supports rather than other effects that alter material stress resistance.
