Which consequence arises when Roman road construction exceeded planned tolerances for embankments?

💡 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.
