← HistoryDuring assembly of Mughal monuments' pietra dura, which consequence occurred with accelerated lime mortar setting?
A)Reduced overall structural joint strength✓
B)Increased long-term elemental visual brightness,
C)Enhanced resistance against seismic activity
D)Improved chromatic contrast durability outdoors
💡 Explanation
Premature mortar setting hindered proper adhesion between pietra dura elements because of the initial hydration process. This resulted in reduced joint strength, therefore compromising long-term structural integrity rather than enhancing contrast or resistance to movement.
