Which outcome resulted from Roman aqueduct masonry lacking pozzolanic mortar in seismic zones?

💡 Explanation

Lateral shear displacement increased without the pozzolanic mortar’s cohesion because the interlocking volcanic ash aggregate provides greater tensile strength, therefore walls separated during seismic activity, rather than maintaining integrity like monolithic concrete.
