← HistoryWhich vulnerability arises when Roman castrum walls experience creep?
A)Reduced fire resistance
B)Increased structural swaying
C)Localized wall instability✓
D)Compromised arrow defense
💡 Explanation
Creep causes localized wall instability because prolonged compressive stress induces gradual material deformation. Differential settlement arises therefore, rather than uniform sinking, affecting load bearing capacity, rather than overall structural integrity.
