History

Which 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.
