Which outcome reduces fired brick compressive strength when medieval kilns lack temperature regulation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced kiln temperature causes incomplete silica vitrification that lowers brick strength, because silica transformations require controlled heating rates. Therefore vitrification is favored, rather than alkali reactions, which require different atmospheric conditions.
