← HistoryWhich outcome occurred in historical dome construction due to inadequate stone keying?
A)Hoop stress causing outward thrust✓
B)Shear plane induced inward collapse
C)Buckling from thermal expansion
D)Accelerated creep in keystone joints
💡 Explanation
When keystones lacked proper interlocking, hoop stress could not effectively translate load downwards because compressive forces weakened; therefore, the dome experienced circumferential tension and potential outward thrust rather than distributing weight uniformly across the structure.
