Which consequence results when insufficiently pre-tensioned steel tendons yield excessively?

💡 Explanation

Increased long term creep deflection occurs because loss of effective prestress increases strain in both steel and concrete. Therefore creep increases, because the relaxation of concrete under sustained load rises rather than being mitigated.
