Question
History

Which risk increases when a woven-rope suspension bridge, similar to those used historically across ravines, experiences sustained dynamic load from marching soldiers?

A)Increased tension equalization capacity
B)Reduced anchor point displacement
C)Resonance-induced structural failure
D)Decreased material shear stress

💡 Explanation

Resonance-induced structural failure increases because marching induces periodic forces near the bridge's natural frequency, causing amplified oscillations via constructive interference. Therefore, the bridge can collapse due to excessive vibration, rather than simple overload or static tension.
