History

Which limiting outcome increased structural risk when tensioned-rope bridges were first introduced alongside stone arches?

A)Reduced deck roadway degradation
B)Thermal expansion joint abrasion
C)Increased vulnerability to aerodynamic flutter
D)Accelerated biofouling settlement rate

💡 Explanation

Aerodynamic flutter becomes critical because resonance establishes a *positive feedback loop*, where wind-induced oscillations amplify themselves catastrophically; therefore flutter risk increases rather than bridge instability, because stone arches address load rather than vibrations.
