History

Which consequence arises from humidity altering pietra dura adhesion?

A)Inlay stones slightly lift out
B)Supporting arches buckle inward
C)Foundation settling accelerates greatly
D)Material oxidation rates are drastically decreased

💡 Explanation

Delamination happens because hygroscopic expansion induces stress at the adhesive interfaces, creating gaps, therefore, the stones become loose with time, rather than exhibiting oxidation changes or causing structural destabilization elsewhere.
