Which outcome occurred when undermining a Roman fortification wall without proper structural support?

💡 Explanation

When undermining a fortification wall, removing material unsupported, structural stress exceeds material shear strength resulting catastrophic wall collapse. Therefore, wall collapse results suddenly, rather than mortar hydrolysis, spalling, or gradual settlement, which are related chemical or long-term geotechnical factors.
