← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from regular deck replacement on Inca rope suspension bridges?
A)Reduced stress on anchoring stones✓
B)Increased bridge cable torsion
C)Lowered risk of wind resonance
D)Decreased pedestrian weight limits

Replacing the bridge deck periodically meant weakened or damaged ropes were easier to inspect, because there's less load providing visual access via direct observation, therefore preventing catastrophic rope failure rather than the structural weakness inherent to the material.
