Which risk increases during seismic activity when a concrete column's shear stress exceeds capacity?

💡 Explanation

When shear stress exceeds capacity, concrete columns experience shear failure because concrete is weak in tension, leading to cracking and spalling, especially with insufficient transverse reinforcement. Therefore spalling results, rather than buckling, corrosion, or torsion which require different types of loading and failure initiation.
