Which outcome reduces bridge stability when excessive live loads combine?

💡 Explanation

Increased shear stress and twisting occurs when live loads combine on a cantilever bridge because *torsional buckling* creates instability under combined compression and shear. Therefore, stress increases, rather than improves load distribution or damping, and ignores thermal impact.
