I’m no expert, I looked it up. It won’t destroy concrete unless crazy large amounts are dumped in the mix.
Yes, while mixing. Like any other chemical reaction it requires contact to make the reaction. If the contact is limited to a certain area only that area will be impacted. It’s not magic. The sugar doesn’t multiply and move itself through the median.
Would sugar move via the act that is water moving? No, sugar is not water.
Movement of water towards to more concentrated compartment
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. Wikipedia
Friendly reminder that about 2lbs of sugar ruins about 2 tons of concrete.
Is this a sugar in gas tank reference, or a general sabotage ref? Does sugar actually destroy concrete?
It delays the setting time.
You would have to add it while it’s still mixing right?
Lol, yeah you can’t mix sugar into already set concrete. 🤣
You could pour it on while it’s wet, but would that do much?

Mercury on aluminum on the other hand…
That creates an alloy. A mixture of metals. Concrete and sugar are not metal.
Edit to clarify:
Sugar is organic; Concrete is a mixture of minerals
Wouldn’t it move via osmosis?
