Which risk sharply increases during concrete bridge construction if prestressing cable tension rate exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Excessive cable tension causes concrete spalling because the mechanism of exceeding compressive stress capacity leads to surface fracturing, therefore cracks originate and propagate rather than uniform compression; this is worse with rapid tension.
