← HistoryWhich risk increased during the construction and operational maintenance of complex Mughal garden systems because of extensive pietra dura inlay application?
A)Reduced water filtration efficiency
B)Increased structural component degradation✓
C)Accelerated biofouling development rates
D)Compromised hydrostatic pressure thresholds
💡 Explanation
Increased structural component degradation occurred using pietra dura inlay because differential thermal expansion between the marble substrate and various inlay materials created stress, weakening mortar; therefore, the structure degraded rather than experiencing pressure issues.
