Over-tensioning what component in a historic rope bridge presents increased catastrophic sagging risk?

💡 Explanation

Sag increases when longitudinal suspension cables experience plastic DEFORMATION because over-tensioning exceeds the ElASTIC LIMIT; therefore, the load capacity reduces, rather than being optimized with deck lashing or anchor supports under normal allowable tension.
