← HistoryWhich risk increased for multi-arched Roman aqueducts when foundations experienced localized Quaternary glacial isostatic subsidence?
A)Greater likelihood of keystone migration✓
B)Reduced potable water concentration
C)Increased sediment transport rate
D)Accelerated biofilm growth rate
💡 Explanation
Keystone migration results from differential settlement displacing arch geometry, involving structural load redistribution. This instability overwhelms arch compression, because foundation shifts misalign force vectors; therefore keystone dislocation arises rather than effects purely based on chemical concentration or laminar flow changes.
