← HistoryWhich outcome arises because limestone formations saturate during excessive Roman concrete curing?
A)Reduced structural setting expansions
B)Increased pozzolanic activity strength
C)Delayed carbonation acceleration rate
D)Internal micro-cracking susceptibility stress✓
💡 Explanation
Internal micro-cracking risk increases because excess water restricts cement hydration (DEEPER CURE), therefore higher pore pressure forms, rather than optimized strength because proper restraint minimizes moisture differential.
