← HistoryWhich consequence results when the angle of the herringbone brick pattern is improperly set on the Mughul era garden aqueduct system?
A)Increased downstream laminar flow.
B)Settling basin sediment buildup.
C)Decreased lateral channel stability.✓
D)Reduced weed growth long-term.
💡 Explanation
Reduced lateral stability occurs, due to exceeding the shear stress limits, because a shallow angle encourages the progressive joint failure mechanism. Therefore, the bank erodes catastrophically, rather than retaining wall strength when the angle is optimally aligned to distribute load.
