During siege warfare, which outcome increased when bronze siege towers exceeded certain heights?

💡 Explanation

Increased tower height induced greater stress on bronze joints; the sliding failure arose on hinge/dowel locations under extreme load because bronze has a relatively low shear resistance compared to steel, therefore shearing internal structural elements caused tower collapses, rather than arrow effectiveness or metallurgy changes.
