Which failure mode occurs in reinforced concrete columns when sustained axial load exceeds critical threshold?

💡 Explanation

Under sustained substantial axial load, creep develops because concrete undergoes time-dependent deformation, causing increasing strain that leads to creep rupture from the matrix degradation. Therefore, creep rupture prevails, rather than buckling, spalling or sheer failure which dominate primarily under instantaneous dynamics.
