← HistoryWhich consequence results when thermal expansion mismatched due to improper pietra dura selection during Mughal construction?
A)Structural collapse becomes inevitable
B)Inlay detachment accelerates significantly✓
C)Foundation settlement increases slowly
D)Material cost slightly decreases
💡 Explanation
In Mughal architecture, inconsistent thermal expansion stresses the binding agent via differential stress, leading to accelerated inlay detachment; this is because the thermal expansion differences cause the binding to fail, rather than immediate structural collapse, therefore detachment increases rather than slower degradation.
