Which risk increases when inadequately anchored pontoon bridges experience strong river currents?

💡 Explanation

Longitudinal shear increases in pontoon bridge decks experiencing strong river currents because drag forces acting upon inadequately moored pontoons promotes differential movement that concentrates stress there, therefore shear failure is more likely, rather than corrosion or resonance related effects.
