History

Which risk increases when Roman auxiliary fort walls experience differential settlement?

A)Internal timber structure collapse
B)Rubble core displacement occurs
C)Reinforcing bar corrosion accelerates
D)Improved sight-lines for invading enemies

💡 Explanation

Rubble core displacement increases because differential settlement induces shear stress in the wall, exploiting the lack of tensile strength in mortar. Therefore, the wall loses structural integrity due to core movement, rather than timber issues or rebar corrosion being primary failures.
