Which risk increased during ziggurat construction from unbaked bricks?

💡 Explanation

Foundation subsidence risk increases via plastic deformation because the compressive load from ziggurat weight exceeds the clay's yield strength, therefore causing downwards displacement rather than elastic deformation under the loads, if proper soil compaction was not undertaken.
