Which risk increases substantially during construction of a clinker-built ship?

💡 Explanation

Plank splitting increases because clinker construction requires overlapping planks fastened with nails or rivets, applying significant stress during bending and fitting. This elevated stress promotes crack propagation, therefore splitting becomes the primary risk rather than warping or rivet failure under normal fastening loads.
