Quizzical Pursuit - The Architecture Puzzler by Dave Guadagni Architecture Puzzler This Week In older buildings with thin-stone anchorage systems using carbon steel shims and anchors, the sealants occasionally fail and the steel can corrode. Which statement correctly explains this? a) The corroded steel is greater in volume than uncorroded steel, and joints inadequate to accommodate this volume increase sometimes fail. or b) The corroded steel is lesser in volume than uncorroded steel, and connections become loose due to the volume decrease and sometimes fail. Bookmark this page: The solution to this week's puzzlers will be published here next week. Last Week's Puzzler Question How big is a six-mat Japanese room? How thick is a typical mat?
