Which risk increases when concrete nears the complete hydration point in bridge support columns?

💡 Explanation

Autogenous shrinkage stress accumulates in concrete bridge columns because the internal chemical reactions consume more water during further stages hydration, establishing self-desiccation. This initiates internal tensile stresses therefore increasing cracking risk, rather than improved behavior.
