← HistoryWhich risk increases when wooden rope-bridge towers tilt outwards?
A)Reduced tensile load tolerance✓
B)Cable abrasion intensifies rapidly
C)Increased deck static deflection
D)Decreased tower moment resistance
💡 Explanation
If towers tilt outwards, compressive force decreases, reducing Friction Clamping on the rope anchorages because ropes slide as towers become less vertical; therefore tensile load tolerance decreases rather than increasing stability or changing deck behavior.
