Which outcome occurs when inadequately cured concrete sets around tensioned pre-stressed steel beams?

💡 Explanation

Premature bond failure at anchors occurs, because insufficient concrete strength prevents effective force transfer from steel to concrete via the bond mechanism; therefore, anchorage slips, rather than achieving designed composite action via proper force distribution under load.
