History

Which risk increases under high wind when using rope bridge suspension during military campaigns?

A)Rope fiber tensile strength failure
B)Anchor slippage due to increased loads
C)Decking material corrosion due to salinity
D)Increased tension causing tower collapse

💡 Explanation

Rope bridges supporting troop loads suffer from greatly amplified lateral forces from wind because increased load concentrates sway; therefore, the risk of anchor slippage rises, rather than material failure, with appropriate factors of safety.
