Which outcome results when inadequately seasoned wood makes up the structural cables of a late Qing dynasty suspension bridge?

💡 Explanation

Decreased bridge structural stiffness will occur because moisture loss causes wood shrinkage creating slack within the cable strands via wood's dimensional changes; therefore flexibility increases, rather than increased tension due to creep properties in better seasoned samples.
