← HistoryWhich consequence results when incorrectly woven quipu cords provide inaccurate load distribution data for Inca suspension bridge cable replacement?
A)Synchronized cable resonance increases
B)Localized shear stress intensifies✓
C)Material creep deformation reverses
D)Torsional cable winding decreases
💡 Explanation
Localized shear stress intensifies because an error in recorded cable load histories leads to uneven cable tension during replacement deploying uneven force distribution. The mechanism of action here is differential tension, resulting in stress concentration rather than uniform decline in cable winding; therefore localized stress intensifies rather than reverses or synchronizes.
