← HistoryWhat consequence resulted when bronze reinforcing bars corroded within ancient aqueduct concrete structures?
A)Increased aqueduct water flow efficiency
B)Reduced aquatic flora colonization inside channel
C)Aqueduct structural integrity weakened✓
D)Water mineralization from copper ions
💡 Explanation
When bronze reinforcing bars corroded, expansive stress occurs because the corrosion products occupy more volume, leading to cracking and weakening of the surrounding concrete structure. Therefore, aqueduct structure weakened, therefore, rather than increased flow, or mineral modification, which requires alternative interactions.
