Which consequence resulted from timber bridge piling decomposition under Venice during the Renaissance?

💡 Explanation

Increased foundation settling occurred, with timber piles submerged weakening via anaerobic microbial decay because submerged wood experienced biological reduction of cellulose; therefore, Venice experienced subsidence rather than uplift, as cellulose breakdown accelerated pile collapse from the imposed building constraints.
