← HistoryWhich outcome occurred if the mineral composition of Roman aqueduct mortar was improperly formulated?
A)Reduced structural Hydraulic conductivity✓
B)Increased biofilm formation inside pipes
C)Accelerated sediment accumulation decreases flow
D)Enhanced thermal expansion fracture risk
💡 Explanation
Reduced structural integrity can be caused by improperly formulated mortar due to a lack of pozzolanic reaction. This weakens the Hydraulic conductivity capacity, because proper lime to pozzolan ratio wasn't achieved, therefore water permeated joints, rather than remaining sealed and waterproof.
