← HistoryWhich structural deformation increases when early masonry arches experience insufficient curing?
A)Crown compression and point loading✓
B)Voussoir slippage against abutments
C)Keystone subsidence from lateral creep
D)Spandrel overfill hydrostatic pressure
💡 Explanation
Crown compression happens because of insufficient curing, as hydraulic action is incomplete; therefore, stress concentrates rather than distributing evenly. Point loading due to uncured weak mortar results, rather than uniform bearing stress distribution.
