History

During a Roman aqueduct's construction within uneven terrain, which risk significantly increases due to localized water pressure?

A)Arch spandrel wall cracking
B)Travertine deposition slowdown
C)Concrete aggregate dissolution
D)Lead pipe thermal expansion

💡 Explanation

Arch spandrel wall cracking becomes highly probable because hydraulic head variations can overload specific areas, causing stress transfer through thrust lines. Therefore, spandrel cracking risk increases, rather than aggregate dissolution or travertine deposition which have completely different causes.
