Which risk increases when a deicing salt solution, containing high concentrations of ionic compounds, is applied to reinforced concrete?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated reinforcement corrosion results because chloride ions from the salt solution promote electron transfer from the iron via electrochemical corrosion, leading to weakening, therefore increased corrosion risk rather than concrete strengthening or modifications of other reactions.
