← HistoryWhich consequence resulted when the Inca rope bridges exceeded practical limits?
A)Decreased roadway ice accumulation
B)Increased structural oscillation frequency✓
C)Reduced material abiotic crystallization
D)Enhanced anchoring substrate alkalinity
💡 Explanation
Increased bridge length amplified oscillations under wind or load, triggering structural resonance because the increased span decreased the natural frequency. Therefore, amplified oscillations led to collapse rather than ice reduction, crystallization effects, or substrate changes.
