← HistoryIncreased road traffic causes which outcome within Roman 'specus' aqueducts?
A)Increased sediment suspension within water✓
B)Decreased hydraulic head at terminus
C)Reduced structural vibrational frequencies
D)Elevated compressive stress at keystone
💡 Explanation
Ground borne vibrations induce REYNOLDS NUMBER increase because higher frequency road usage increases energy transfer. Therefore, sediment suspension increases, rather than structural stress; this is due primarily to increased sediment entrainment.
