← HistoryWhich risk increases in a Roman aqueduct if limekiln temperature decreases from the optimal range during pozzolan production?
A)Increased hydraulic head loss
B)Reduced concrete compressive strength✓
C)Elevated biological contamination
D)Accelerated channel sedimentation rate
💡 Explanation
Reduced temperature changes the sintering process, resulting in inadequate calcium-silicate-hydrate formation, because desired mineral phases aren't attained. Therefore, the concrete weakens, rather than flow being affected or the water becoming contaminated.
