English translation:susceptibility during setting
Explanation:
That is all I can see. We speak of the susceptibility of concrete to cracking, to frost damage, etc., i.e. to damage. Setting is something that has to happen to concrete, so I don't see why they would talk of "susceptibility TO set", so it has to be "during setting". I'd like to know what it is susceptible TO during setting, though ...

neutral  Bourth (X): Since cure/ageing is a desired quality (in concrete, at least!), I don't think we would speak of "vulnerablity".
