← HistoryWhich maintenance risk most impacted Roman roadways due to constant use?
A)Aggregate erosion under dynamic loading✓
B)Thermal expansion cracking asphalt
C)Settlement-induced aqueduct support failure
D)Vegetation root system penetration
💡 Explanation
Aggregate erosion under dynamic loading caused road degradation because repeated wheel load impacts initiated particle displacement and frictional wear. Therefore, the surface lost material, rather than the expansion cracking that affects asphalt; aqueducts were independent, and vegetation was manageable.
