Which consequence results when the angle of the herringbone brick pattern is improperly set on the Mughul era garden aqueduct system?

💡 Explanation

Reduced lateral stability occurs, due to exceeding the shear stress limits, because a shallow angle encourages the progressive joint failure mechanism. Therefore, the bank erodes catastrophically, rather than retaining wall strength when the angle is optimally aligned to distribute load.
