History

Which consequence developed when Viking rope bridges experienced excessive foot traffic?

A)Reduced structural resonance frequency
B)Increased tensile strength capacity
C)Amplified vertical oscillation amplitude
D)Diminished bridge material elasticity

💡 Explanation

Amplified oscillation resulted because rhythmic footfalls induced a resonance effect; this is Dynamic Amplification where the bridge absorbed the pedestrian step energy creating stronger swaying, therefore bridge motion increased, rather than altering intrinsic material properties.
