← HistoryWhich risk greatly increases when using plaited-rope suspension bridges lacking additional support?
A)Catenary sag exceeds material strength
B)Increased lateral load instability emerges
C)Deck oscillations induce progressive fatigue✓
D)Anchorage slip initiates ground failure
💡 Explanation
Increased deck oscillations increase risk because of resonant frequency amplifying periodic load resulting in a process called fatigue accumulation. Therefore, progressive internal rope strand and connections fractures contribute to sudden and total structural collapse, rather than simple overload or ground collapse.
