Which outcome occurs when lime production declines during Byzantine building projects?

💡 Explanation

Reduced lime decreases available calcium hydroxide concentrations required for pozzolanic reaction, therefore mortar's hydraulic setting rate diminishes, because insufficient binder formation weakens structural bonds in brickwork rather than affecting aqueducts, greek fire, or aerodynamics.
