← HistoryWhich risk increased during monumental Inca masonry projects exceeding design limits?
A)Creep deformation and localized crushing✓
B)Increased material magnetic susceptibility quickly
C)Alkali-silica reaction within mortars
D)Progressive timber decay throughout spanning
💡 Explanation
Increased building height leads to increased stress. The weight exceeding compression design parameters results in creep, which is time-dependent plastic deformation; therefore creep deformation is correct, rather than other degradation affecting other rock’s environmental susceptibilities.
