← HistoryWhich consequence results when the Roman 'agger' lacks adequate compaction?
A)Increased probability of structural collapse✓
B)Quicker enemy scaling during assaults
C)Reduced thermal insulation properties
D)Enhanced acoustic resonance within the structure
💡 Explanation
Inadequate compaction decreases the 'agger'’s shear strength via soil consolidation, because this increases void ratio. This leads to differential settling therefore increasing structural collapse risk rather than providing stable scaling for the enemy.
