Which outcome commonly arises when Roman roadbeds used incompetent Geotechnics?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated roadbed settling occurs due to compaction and consolidation of roadbed; The excessive pore-water pressure reduces effective stress causing rapid collapse and sinkage because the road bed can not withstand stress; therefore selecting competent rock/stable material is necessary, rather than a swamp which would cause roadbed destruction.
