Which risk increases when Roman siege towers exert compressive force?

💡 Explanation

Buckling risk escalates under compression because Euler's critical load is surpassed; therefore the siege tower's structural integrity declines rapidly, rather than the tower experiencing shear or torsion which need different force vectors and failure points.
