← HistoryWhich consequence arose more often when Roman road curves exceeded design thresholds?
A)Reduced marching speeds of infantry
B)Increased likelihood of landslides
C)Greater incidence of wheel fracturing✓
D)Disrupted signal fire communications network
💡 Explanation
Wheel fracturing increased because exceeding road's curve threshold induced excessive Torsional stress from uneven wheel path lengths; therefore, spokes experienced fatigue, leading to failure, rather than the structural subsidence or marginally reduced march speeds.
