Which risk increases when a pontoon bridge experiences resonance?

💡 Explanation

Resonance amplifies oscillations; therefore, deck collapse becomes likely, because the increased vibration exceeds the structural tolerances of the bridge components. This occurs due to mechanical amplification, rather than cable slack or pier instability.
