Which outcome occurs during concrete bridge construction when insufficient tendon stressing force is applied?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient tendon stressing means that the designed compressive stresses are not achieved; therefore, the *reduced stress distribution* causes lower resistance to tensile forces induced by live loads rather than increasing resistance, because the concrete cracks prematurely, and reinforcement corrosion will accelerate from cracking.
