← HistoryWhich consequence arises from exceeding design tolerances using abacus-derived algebraic conversions while stone arch bridge construction?
A)Increased material compressive stress
B)Accelerated mortar carbonation rates
C)Catastrophic structural arch deformation✓
D)Enhanced foundation load distribution
💡 Explanation
Catastrophic arch deformation results because inaccuracies through abacus algebra during calculation leads designers misinterpreting equilibrium. This triggers heightened asymmetric loading past keystone tolerance leading to collapse rather than stable load distribution because arches depend on balanced forces.
