Which risk increases when humidity reduces mortar efficacy?

💡 Explanation

Decreased mortar integrity causes vulnerability; reduced bonding promotes inlay delamination through thermal stress. Therefore, detachment risk increases, rather than complete structural collapse, because loads are still distributed.
