Which outcome occurs when gabions saturate during siege?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydrostatic wall failure occurs because the mechanism, water pressure, is amplified during the siege. Water infiltration saturates the gabions, increasing lateral earth pressure and thus potential for wall collapse, rather than thermal insulation or cohesive stabilization.
