← HistoryWhich risk was increased in early rope suspension bridges due to concentrated dynamic load?
A)Rope fiber fatigue increases rapidly✓
B)Deck sway induces cable slack
C)Anchorage slippage becomes more pronounced
D)Tower bending stresses concentrates rapidly
💡 Explanation
Concentrated dynamic load on early rope bridges increased rope fiber stresses; because dynamic loading causes cyclic stress acceleration on individual fibers affecting fatigue, leading to cumulative damage; therefore rope failure was more prominent rather than other structural responses.
