Which outcome occurs when improper shimming induces excessive prestress?

A)Concrete crushing during load application
B)Rebar yields upon tension release
C)Epoxy coating prevents corrosion action
D)Increased ductility enhances shear capacity

💡 Explanation

Excessive prestress concentrates compression beyond design limits; thus concrete crushing occurs because localized forces overwhelm material strength near anchor points. Therefore concentrated crushing happens, rather than uniform deformation or steel yielding under balanced conditions.
