Which outcome results when inadequately anchored cable bridges experience excessive wind loading?

A)Resonance cascade induces structural failure
B)Progressive yielding triggers material creep
C)Strain hardening increases tensile strength
D)Damping reduces load amplification abruptly

💡 Explanation

Resonance occurs if wind excites the bridge's natural frequency; therefore, increasing the oscillating amplitude via positive feedback leads to structural failure, because increased stress exceeds material's load capacity, rather than a gradual material yielding at lower frequencies.
