Which consequence results when atmospheric moisture increases near concrete with de-icing salts?

💡 Explanation

Increased moisture containing dissolved salts leads to increased **ionic conduction** within the concrete. This accelerates corrosion of reinforcing steel because the higher ionic conductivity facilitates electron transfer required for oxidation, rather than forming protective layers or hindering carbonation.
