History

Which risk increased during long sieges when late Bronze Age city defenses relied on bronze reinforcement?

A)Electrolytic corrosion accelerated component failure
B)Thermal expansion cracked stone foundations
C)Material fatigue weakened hinge points
D)Impact hardening reduced material ductility

💡 Explanation

Material fatigue becomes problematic because repeated stress/impact cycles lead to cumulative microstructural crack growth in the bronze reinforcements, therefore weakened hinges fail, rather than corrosion, expansion, or hardening being the primary concern under siege impacts.
