Which risk increases when concrete's carbonation depth reaches reinforcing rebar within structure?

💡 Explanation

When carbonation reaches rebar, passivation layer breaks down because pH decreases, resulting in corrosion products forming between steel and concrete matrix, decreasing the bond strength. Therefore bond strength reduction results and slippage may occur instead of sectional weakening, cover spalling, or higher damping which involve expansion or dynamic effects.
