← HistoryWhich outcome can occur when the Arcade Aqueduct experiences compromised mortar?
A)Increased hydrostatic pressure within the channel
B)Reduced sedimentation within settling basins
C)Lateral thrust and archway destabilization✓
D)Elevated dissolved minerals due low flow
💡 Explanation
Water permeating weakened mortar joints creates increased lateral force; therefore, archway destabilization begins because hydrostatic pressures overcome the structure's integrity via lateral thrust, rather than from direct vertical load.
