Which outcome occurs inside prestressed concrete reactor containment when subjected to internal pressure exceeding design?

💡 Explanation

Increased internal design pressure leads to greater outward strain, thus activating the *prestressing mechanism* to resist expansion, because the tendons initially experience elastic deformation, therefore limiting concrete cracking, rather than directly causing rebar yielding or compressive failure.
