History

Which outcome resulted if Inca suspension bridge cables lacked regular maintenance?

A)Increased creep strain over time
B)Reduced harmonic oscillation damping
C)Elevated load-bearing safety factor
D)Improved distributed tension capacity

💡 Explanation

Increased creep strain resulted without maintenance because the rope fibers experienced continuous stress under load, causing gradual plastic deformation; therefore the cable sags and weakens rather than improving tensile strength at higher loads, different from fatigue.
