During Roman road construction, which risk increases under heavy axle loads applied before full consolidation?

💡 Explanation

Increased flexural stress occurs within a poorly compacted roadbed because of insufficient Interlock Stiffness, therefore significant localized rutting results underneath heavy loads, rather than uniform settlement, or changes related to thermal or chemical processes.
