Which risk dramatically increases due to improperly sealed epoxy coating of steel I-beams?

💡 Explanation

Improper epoxy sealing allows moisture penetration, initiating differential aeration. Accelerated galvanic corrosion then occurs because the exposed and sealed steel create electrochemical potential, therefore corrosion undercuts the coating faster, rather than a uniform reduction of steel thickness.
