← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from the loss of fibers in the Inca suspension bridge cables?
A)Sagging deck and reduced capacity✓
B)Increased wind resistance of bridge
C)Elevated tension within anchor points
D)Corrosion increase from water ingress
💡 Explanation
Increased fiber loss caused excess strain because of reduced cross-sectional area, leading to larger deflections through increased cable sag; therefore, the decks lose load capacity, rather than enhanced stability like increased wind resistance.
