← HistoryWhich consequence arises when differential settlement impacts Roman concrete?
A)Arch KEYSTONE displacement occurs✓
B)HYDRAULIC concrete self-heals completely
C)AGGREGATES bond to reinforcing bar
D)POZZOLAN slows the hydration process
💡 Explanation
Displacement of the keystone emerges because differential settlement creates stress concentrations exceeding material strength, thus causing arch COLLAPSE; therefore keystone structural displacement is likely, rather than hydraulic self-healing occurring on concrete's surface.
