← TechnologyWhich risk increases when insufficiently embedded rebar subjected to seismic loading?
A)Beam-column joint shear failure✓
B)Rebar tensile strength reduction
C)Increased concrete carbonation rate
D)Longitudinal reinforcement steel corrosion
💡 Explanation
Loss of bond strength increases the likelihood of beam-column joint shear failure in a concrete structure during seismic events, because inadequate embedment length prevents development of full tensile capacity in rebar, therefore causing premature joint failure, rather than rebar yielding.
