History

During fluvial flooding events affecting Mughal-era gardens using pietra dura inlay, which deterioration process accelerates due to repeated saturation?

A)Accelerated biofouling proliferation
B)Differential coefficient of thermal expansion
C)Increased delamination via salt crystallization
D)Reduced catalytic oxidation resistance

💡 Explanation

Inlay delamination increases with fluctuating saturation conditions because salt crystallization (haloclasty) generates pressure within pores resulting in increased fracturing; therefore the damage accelerates rather than from oxidization or bio-proliferation which contribute a lesser effect.
