← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when lime production declines during Byzantine building projects?
A)Aqueduct sulfur crystallization accelerates
B)Mortar's hydraulic setting diminishes✓
C)Byzantine Greek Fire potency increases
D)Domes experience unexpected aerodynamic uplift
💡 Explanation
Reduced lime decreases available calcium hydroxide concentrations required for pozzolanic reaction, therefore mortar's hydraulic setting rate diminishes, because insufficient binder formation weakens structural bonds in brickwork rather than affecting aqueducts, greek fire, or aerodynamics.
