← TechnologyWhich risk increases when high early strength concrete used in pre-stressed bridge girders experiences unexpected external vibration during the initial curing phase?
A)Increased hydration exothermic temperature effects
B)Compromised bond between steel and grout✓
C)Premature rebar fatigue crack propagation
D)Delayed ettringite formation development internally
💡 Explanation
External vibration disrupts the early-stage microstructure during strength gain because bleeding channels form, weakening aggregate interlock due to restrained settlement; therefore, prestress transfer may lead to bond failures internally rather than optimal load transfer mechanics.
