History

Which consequence occurred when the aqueduct of Segovia experienced uneven settling?

A)Stress concentration caused structural cracking
B)Reduced flow-rate increased mineral deposition
C)Increased velocity instigated cavitation damage
D)Altered gradient induced back-siphonage

💡 Explanation

Increased stress concentration at joints and arches in the aqueduct happened because differential settlement exceeded material limits, leading to cracking. Therefore, structural damage happens, rather than mineral deposition which is dictated by flow characteristics.
