← HistoryWhich risk increases under high wind when using rope bridge suspension during military campaigns?
A)Rope fiber tensile strength failure
B)Anchor slippage due to increased loads✓
C)Decking material corrosion due to salinity
D)Increased tension causing tower collapse
💡 Explanation
Rope bridges supporting troop loads suffer from greatly amplified lateral forces from wind because increased load concentrates sway; therefore, the risk of anchor slippage rises, rather than material failure, with appropriate factors of safety.
