For ancient Inca dry-stone masonry walls in earthquake regions, which outcome results from meticulous Ashlar block fitting?

💡 Explanation

The meticulous stone fitting of Ashlar masonry increases seismic wave energy dissipation through frictional sliding because the tight joints (without mortar) allow blocks to shift and absorb energy, therefore reducing overall stress, rather than acting as a single rigid mass.
