← HistoryWhich instability occurs when excessive livestock traverse an Inca suspension bridge?
A)Vertical oscillation due to dynamic overloading✓
B)Material fatigue causing tensile failures
C)Shear stress leading to support collapses
D)Torsional resonance inducing deck twisting
💡 Explanation
Dynamic overloading induces vertical oscillation because the livestock's rhythmic movements amplify forces, rather than static weight stresses associated with material fatigue. Therefore, oscillations become critical, rather than shear or torsion which pose stress given constant, rather than varying, loads.
