← HistoryWhich consequence arises when Roman road construction exceeded planned tolerances for embankments?
A)Increased hydrostatic pressure against abutments
B)Decreased sediment runoff into waterways
C)Activation of stabilizing chemical admixtures
D)Accelerated creep deformation near viae✓
💡 Explanation
Accelerated creep deformation occurs when compressive stress exceeds material yield strength; the compaction increases via overburden pressure through increased embankment weight. This outcome occurs because load-bearing capability decreases, therefore increasing maintenance, rather than benefiting sediment control.
