History

Which risk increases when tesserae thermal expansion differs drastically from mortar?

A)Accelerated material galvanic corrosion
B)Compromised structural seismic performance
C)Increased likelihood of mosaic delamination
D)Diminished optical refractive properties

💡 Explanation

Delamination risk increases because differential THERMAL STRESS causes shear forces exceeding adhesive strength, therefore mosaic layers separate rather than remaining bonded, resulting in cracking, rather than simply optical changes.
