Which outcome arises when suspension bridge anchorage slippage progresses beyond acceptable limits?

💡 Explanation

Anchorage slippage reduces cable tension length; elastic catenary adjusts, therefore the sag-to-span ratio diverges as cables ascend abnormally, rather than redistribute force, diminish deck stiffening, or negligibly change fundamental frequency.
