History

Which risk increased substantially during periods when the Inca suspension bridges experienced overloading due to large gatherings?

A)Increased cable material creep
B)Reduced anchoring stone stability
C)Decreased deck plank friction
D)Elevated fiber rotting rates

💡 Explanation

Increased cable material creep became the significant risk because excessive loads over prolonged periods initiate plastic deformation within the plant fiber cables; therefore, irreversible elongation occurs, rather than the material returning to its original form after the load reduces.
