The California missions were built in the 1760s. The walls were built from adobe bricks-a mixture of mud, straw, manure, and sand. Over time the adobe bricks suffered from the effects of weathering, such as falling apart in the rain.

The California missions are historically important and have been rebuilt using new adobe bricks made of organic materials. The image shows a restored mission building.

Engineers wanted to make sure the restored buildings would remain standing. Which of the following methods might the engineers have used to help reduce the possible erosion of the adobe bricks?

Select Yes if it is a method that might have been used, or No if it is not.

They added steel and concrete pieces in the adobe bricks.
