← HistoryWhich outcome increased the risk of rope bridge failure during collapses, impacting historical Inca transit?

B)Material creep in fiber strands
C)Exceeding wood tensile compliance.
D)Thermal contraction of bridge anchors
💡 Explanation
Localized increases in knot slippage increases risk of rope bridge failure because the redistributed load exceeds the design capacity of remaining sections, leading to progressive untangling and total failure rather than uniform stress through the bridge.
