Which outcome results from incorrectly fired bricks in Roman construction?

💡 Explanation

Increased water absorption will occur due to incomplete vitrification during firing process. Improper firing leaves pores open and increases capillary action, because the sintering mechanism hasn’t fully fused the ceramic structure together; therefore the brick absorbs more water, rather than resisting water like properly fired bricks.
