Which consequence resulted, during sieges, when inadequate seasoning of medieval trebuchet throwing arms occurred?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic rupture increased, because the insufficient moisture reduction caused wood fibers to rapidly delaminate under cyclical stress; elastic energy discharge becomes irregular therefore impacting projectile trajectory, rather than a predictable bearing failure.
