Which construction issue results when supporting pillar settlement caused medieval rope bridges’ increased swaying?

💡 Explanation

Catenary geometric instability causes extra rope swaying, because uneven pillar drops steepen the cable angles causing unbalanced forces and deformations. Therefore, the swaying get worse; rather than bridge collapse from exceeding tensile strength as tension remains within set limits.
