History

Which outcome occurred if the mineral composition of Roman aqueduct mortar was improperly formulated?

A)Reduced structural Hydraulic conductivity
B)Increased biofilm formation inside pipes
C)Accelerated sediment accumulation decreases flow
D)Enhanced thermal expansion fracture risk

💡 Explanation

Reduced structural integrity can be caused by improperly formulated mortar due to a lack of pozzolanic reaction. This weakens the Hydraulic conductivity capacity, because proper lime to pozzolan ratio wasn't achieved, therefore water permeated joints, rather than remaining sealed and waterproof.
