Which risk is amplified when concrete is poured too slowly around densely packed rebar?

A)Increased chloride ion penetration towards rebar
B)Accelerated rebar corrosion due to honeycombing
C)Reduced concrete compressive strength overall
D)Higher thermal expansion mismatched stresses

💡 Explanation

When concrete is poured too slowly through dense rebar layouts, inadequate consolidation proceeds because air voids are trapped forming honeycombing around bars, reducing protection and allowing moisture/air exposure, accelerating corrosion. Therefore accelerated rebar corrosion results, rather than uniform reactions which require proper mix and application.
