Which risk increases significantly within reinforced concrete columns exposed to seawater?

💡 Explanation

Chloride-induced steel corrosion becomes paramount because chlorides aggressively penetrate the porous concrete matrix, the depassivation mechanism undermines the protective oxide layer on the rebar steel, therefore accelerating oxidation rather than other degradation processes under non-saline conditions.
