← HistoryWhich issue necessitated expansion joint implementation within Mughal garden water systems?
A)Clay pipe seasonal fracture
B)Metal valve galvanic corrosion
C)Stone channel freeze-thaw damage✓
D)Brick liner algae proliferation
💡 Explanation
Significant temperature variation introduces thermal expansion, causing the expansion joint to absorb movement because the coefficient of expansion differs in the channel; therefore freeze-thaw creates cracks, rather than biological or electrochemical failure which are distinct processes.
