Which outcome occurred when wind loading limit was underestimated during iron chain bridge designs?

💡 Explanation

Deck oscillation increased on chain suspension bridges until a torsional failure mode formed. Increased wind loading during a storm initiates aerodynamic instability, initiating aeroelastic flutter, because resonant frequency matching was underestimated; therefore, deck collapses, rather than slow yielding, ensued.
