History

Which outcome occurred during road paving, when Roman engineers released trapped gases using 'kerf' cuts?

A)Increased structural stone interlocking
B)Reduced surface rutting risk
C)Enhanced sub-base drainage rate
D)Prevented lateral road displacement

💡 Explanation

Reduced surface rutting occurred with kerf cuts, releasing gases to prevent upward pressure because the Thermal Expansion mechanism reduces asphalt deformation, therefore, a stable road surface occurred rather than cracking which would decrease lifetime.
