History

Which outcome increases when Roman roads experienced increased cart weight?

A)Subgrade shear failure increases
B)Aggregate interlock stiffening occurs
C)Surface runoff infiltration declines
D)Lime pozzolan setting accelerates

💡 Explanation

Increased cart weight over the road causes excessive stress that exceeds the bearing capacity of the soil, resulting in subgrade shear failure because the load spreads to the underlying soil layers, rather than causing beneficial interlock; therefore, soil destabilizes.
