Which risk increases when prestressing steel exceeds yield strength?

A)Reduced composite beam shear capacity
B)Increased concrete creep deflection
C)Immediate anchor slippage occurs
D)Long-term tendon stress relaxation

💡 Explanation

Excessive prestressing causes increased concrete stress elevating time-dependent deformation, involving the mechanism of creep. Because the concrete experiences unusually high compression, creep related shortening increases; therefore deflection increases, rather than decreasing shear issues.
