← HistoryWhich consequence arises when Byzantine mosaics exceed weight limits?
A)Wall destabilization and structural collapse✓
B)Accelerated tesserae oxidation rates
C)Compromised mortar hydration strength
D)Decreased specular reflectance aesthetic output
💡 Explanation
Excessive mosaic weight triggers structural failure because gravitational load exceeds design limits, causing material fatigue throughout the system. This induces wall destabilization toward possible collapse rather than cosmetic changes; lighter ornamentation reduces imposed stress.
