History

Which consequence results when Roman fortifications overuse calcination?

A)Erosion from wind increases
B)Water infiltration risk grows
C)Tensile strength diminishes
D)Seismic instability develops

💡 Explanation

The tensile strength decreases because calcination causes dehydration and weakens the lime mortar's hydraulic setting properties; therefore making it brittle, rather than maintaining the mortar integrity to withstand forces
