Which risk significantly increases when anchor slippage occurs in a post-tensioned concrete beam?

💡 Explanation

When anchor slippage happens, effective prestress reduces because the tendons cannot maintain designed tension, affecting force transfer to concrete and influencing the stress capacity therefore flexural stress increases. Increased deflection results, specifically, rather than reduced shear strength or corrosion which depend on alternative material failure mechanisms.
