← HistoryWhich 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.
