← HistoryWhich risk increases when the Inti Bridge experiences increased seismic activity?
A)Deck-support cable tensile exceedance✓
B)Buttress stone compressive deformation
C)Foundation soil liquefaction onset
D)Anchorage rebar galvanic corrosion
💡 Explanation
Increased seismic activity greatly risks deck-support cable tensile exceedance, because the forces on the cable exceeds its design strength due to amplified dynamic loading; therefore this is the primary failure mode, rather than stone compression which is less frequent.
