Which crack propagation risk increases when concrete's restrained shrinkage forces exceed design limits around high-tensile rebar?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated spalling happens because restrained shrinkage around rebar induces tensile stresses surpassing concrete's capacity. This activates brittle fracture mechanics, rather than enabling plastic deformation; therefore, early spalling occurs near the surface rather than uniformly distributing stress.
