Which constraint limited the maximum height achieved with Inca stone masonry?

💡 Explanation

The *creep* of interlocking stone blocks constrained height; because the cumulative deformation increased with stack height, therefore differential settling and leaning occurred, rather than overall material failure from applied pressure alone which is minimal with the interlocking.

• Which outcome results when 'agger' height exceeded limits?
• Which risk disproportionately increased during late Bronze Age mold-making?
• Which navigational error increases aboard an 18th-century ship following thermal stressing a brass sextant?
• Which mechanism allowed pre-industrial water wheels to efficiently grind grain using a limited water supply?
• Within the Roman road construction, which risk increased during periods of accelerated road expansion?
• Which outcome occurred if early mediaeval Viking longship sails experienced bristle damage or ice accumulation?
