History

Increased road traffic causes which outcome within Roman 'specus' aqueducts?

A)Increased sediment suspension within water
B)Decreased hydraulic head at terminus
C)Reduced structural vibrational frequencies
D)Elevated compressive stress at keystone

💡 Explanation

Ground borne vibrations induce REYNOLDS NUMBER increase because higher frequency road usage increases energy transfer. Therefore, sediment suspension increases, rather than structural stress; this is due primarily to increased sediment entrainment.
