Which problem increasingly limited the span practical for medieval rope bridges of lashed timber?

💡 Explanation

Dynamic amplification became limiting because, with increased bridge lengths, natural sway frequencies matched step frequencies, introducing resonance. This excess mechanical energy drastically exceeds material capacity rather than creep or wind, therefore induced dynamic amplification lowered the useful loading capacity.
