← HistoryWhich consequence results when timber framing lacks proper mortise depth in eighteenth-century ship construction?
A)Increased risk of hogging failures✓
B)Inhibited expansion with seasonal swells
C)Accelerated galvanic corrosion occurs
D)Weakened resistance to biofouling delays
💡 Explanation
Insufficient mortise depth compromises structural integrity, resulting in increased hogging. This occurs because inadequate interlocking decreases resistance to longitudinal bending, therefore frames separate under stress and twist the ship rather than distributing the load.
