History

Which 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.
