← HistoryWhich risk arises when weathering erodes lime mortar affecting pietra dura inlay?
A)Inlay component relative displacement increases✓
B)Mosaic surface efflorescence accelerates
C)Substrate material compressive stress stiffens
D)Localized tensile strain delamination decreases
💡 Explanation
Differential substrate erosion causes increased stress on inlays activating differential movement because there's loss of mortar, so there is displacement to maintain static equibrium, therefore displacement rises rather than better tensile strain or compression. Efflorescence isn't primary failure.
