Which risk increases because of inertial-gravitational equivalence in tall buildings?

💡 Explanation

Because of inertial-gravitational equivalence, the building's overall weight cumulatively compresses the lower columns via axial loading rather than uniform stress. Therefore, the columns are prone to failure, rather than enhanced heat or corrosion mechanisms.
