← HistoryWhich collapse risk increased for suspension bridges after their adaption from rope to chain?
A)Increased susceptibility to deck flutter✓
B)Lower tensile strength under load
C)Greater overall torsion resistance
D)Reduced anchor point stress distribution
💡 Explanation
Deck flutter probability increased because the chains reduced aerodynamic stability using stiff cables, causing increased oscillation based on wind; therefore, flutter was an increased risk, rather than torsion or differing forces because of the mechanical stiffness change.
