← HistoryWhich risk increases with timber bridges lacking regular Tarr Preservation?
A)Accelerated section rot weakens joins✓
B)Increased thermal expansion fracturing deck
C)Enhanced ice adhesion compromises stability
D)Elevated UV embrittlement induces cracking
💡 Explanation
Accelerated section rot increases because degradation of structural members induces weakening according to properties defined by wood. Timber is vulnerable to microbial attack in moist conditions on bridges promoting unchecked expansion and therefore collapse; rather than thermal stress alone controlling outcomes.
