Which risk arises in Viking-era rope bridges from hygroscopic material degradation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced static load capacity arises because moisture absorption initiates hydrolysis, weakening natural fibers; this is Creep rupture. Therefore, collapse is more common near supports; rather than purely tension-based, wind related or vibrational failure initially.
