← HistoryWhich consequence results when the 'Reissner-Mindlin plate theory' is ignored during Ziggurat platform design?
A)Uneven load induced local spalling✓
B)Compromised compressive strength of brick
C)Shear-locking in transverse layers
D)Delamination of mortar substrate may onset
💡 Explanation
Ignoring the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory causes uneven load distribution and increased bending moments because plate stiffness and shear deformation are underestimated; therefore, localized spalling initiates, rather than uniform stress distribution or compression failure that considers shear effects.
