← TechnologyWhich risk increases due to improperly released tendons?
A)Unexpected beam upward deflection✓
B)Accelerated rebar corrosion rate
C)Increased concrete compressive strength
D)Reduced concrete tensile capacity
💡 Explanation
Premature or uneven release of prestressing tendons results in uneven force distribution because of elastic shortening mechanism; therefore, causes upward deflection rather than anticipated, because the compressive force application can lose balance and control rather than uniform compression.
