← HistoryWhich consequence accompanied frequent disassembly of Inca rope bridges?
A)Increased localized hemp fiber retting
B)Greater alkaloid leeching from cables
C)Enhanced bridge deck transverse stiffness
D)Decreased cable stranding helical robustness✓
💡 Explanation
Cable degradation accelerated with repeated stress during disassembly via work hardening. Cable stranding helical robustness diminishes because metal fatigue increased therefore the twisted strands separate, rather than maintaining tight cohesion as during normal usage.
