Which risk increases when anchoring wedges loosen in post-tensioned concrete?

💡 Explanation

Tendon rupture becomes more likely because stress concentrates at remaining anchor points via static indeterminacy, therefore a sudden failure becomes more probable, rather than gradual deformation from creep, or changes in concrete's material properties.
