Which structural consequence resulted from the Great Dome of Florence lacking sufficient iron chain reinforcement during construction?

💡 Explanation

When iron chains were insufficient, hoop stress caused outward thrust because the dome's weight wasn't adequately countered, leading to bulging of supporting walls. Therefore lateral thrust results, rather than settlement, fatigue, or resonance, which arise from different structural weaknesses and environmental factors.
