← HistoryWhich problem was intensified when Viking longship rope bridges had supporting pillars placed too closely?
A)Increased dynamic wind loading strength
B)Reduced material fatigue resistance
C)Elevated resonant frequency amplification risk✓
D)Enhanced dampening coefficient stability
💡 Explanation
Resonant frequency amplification risk elevates because shortened spans have higher natural frequencies of vibration. Therefore, bridges become susceptible to external vibrations matching those frequencies and amplify them causing structural damage, rather than withstanding stable oscillations needing wider span.
