History

Which structural consequence resulted when Inca suspension bridge cables experienced excessive dynamic loading?

A)Material creep and cable elongation
B)Resonance amplification causing cable rupture
C)Progressive oxidation weakening metal wires
D)Electrostatic discharge igniting wooden supports

💡 Explanation

Resonance causes structural failure; dynamic loading, synchronizing with the cable's natural frequency, triggers resonance amplification leading to catastrophic rupture because the amplitude of oscillations increases rapidly, therefore cable rupture rather than other modes.
