← HistoryWhich limit caused substantial Roman roadbed subsidence events?
A)Insufficient sub-base soil consolidation✓
B)Excessive surface drainage channel erosion
C)Lack of standardized paving stone size
D)Inadequate camber for water runoff

Insufficient sub-base soil consolidation caused roadbed subsidence, because compaction transfers the load. Therefore, uneven settlement increased, rather than even load-bearing, due to differential soil density and consolidating after construction via compaction.
