Which outcome occurs when chloride ions disrupt the electrostatic balance in concrete?

💡 Explanation

Chloride ions promote the weakening of the passive film protecting the reinforcement bars, causing *chloride-induced corrosion*. This occurs because chloride ions penetrate pores, displacing hydroxyl ions which maintain passivity; therefore, reinforcing bars oxidize rather than remain stable.
