Which mechanism limited Quechua rope suspension bridge spans?

A)Material tensile strength exceeded
B)Deck aeroelastic flutter onset
C)Tower foundation shear failure
D)Anchor point soil liquefaction

💡 Explanation

spans were constrained when material tensile strength was exceeded because beyond a certain length, the weight of the bridge fibers overcomes their ability to withstand the induced tension, therefore material failure, rather than resonance or ground collapse.
