Which tactical problem occurred when Roman siege engines continuously targeted same section of enemy walls?

💡 Explanation

When siege engines repeatedly struck same wall section material fatigue occurs due to cyclic loading weakening structural integrity leading to eventual collapse. Therefore structural fatigue collapse occurs, rather than obstructed visibility increased accuracy or winch failure which require different events.
