Which consequence emerges when poorly binding Inca masonry expands?

💡 Explanation

Reduced strength results because the **friction** between interlocking stones is lost when volume increases due to moisture ingress and daily temperature variation; the structure fails to act as a single load-bearing element, therefore shear resistance declines, rather than convection, dissipation or drainage altering.
