History

Which risk was amplified during construction of Inca rope bridges utilizing ichu grass?

A)Increased material tensile failure
B)Accelerated biological biodegradation risk
C)Higher anchoring tensile stress
D)Enhanced thermal overload capacity

💡 Explanation

Biodegradation risk grew due to the *hydrolysis* of cellulose fibers in the ichu grass caused by perpetual dampness. This outcome became concerning, because the rope strength became compromised, rather than failing due to tension, over-stress, or increased heat resistance.
