← HistoryWhich outcome occurred during road paving, when Roman engineers released trapped gases using 'kerf' cuts?
A)Increased structural stone interlocking
B)Reduced surface rutting risk✓
C)Enhanced sub-base drainage rate
D)Prevented lateral road displacement
💡 Explanation
Reduced surface rutting occurred with kerf cuts, releasing gases to prevent upward pressure because the Thermal Expansion mechanism reduces asphalt deformation, therefore, a stable road surface occurred rather than cracking which would decrease lifetime.
