Which failure mode increases in weight-bearing concrete columns undergoing sustained high temperature?

💡 Explanation

High temperature promotes thermal stress, leading to concrete spalling through the mechanism of pressure build-up and rebar losing bonding; therefore, concrete detaches and exposes reinforcement, rather than remaining intact because lower temperatures do not cause such pressure.
