← HistoryWhich limit primarily jeopardized Viking demountable longship bridges during river expeditions?
A)High transverse bending moment✓
B)Substrate electrochemical redox variation
C)Timber anisotropic thermal gradients
D)Excess rope material creep
💡 Explanation
High transverse bending moment induces structural failure on relatively weak demountable bridge spans during transit, because concentrated load placement creates large shear forces. Therefore transverse bending moment poses a huge integrity constraint, rather than creep or gradient concerns, under heavy load.
