Which risk increased during monumental Inca masonry projects exceeding design limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased building height leads to increased stress. The weight exceeding compression design parameters results in creep, which is time-dependent plastic deformation; therefore creep deformation is correct, rather than other degradation affecting other rock’s environmental susceptibilities.
