Which structural consequence results in medieval rope bridges when exceeding fiber's tensile strength?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic collapse will occur because exceeding tensile strength leads to material rupture causing structural failure, therefore span collapse occurs, rather than damping oscillations if rope tensile properties were maintained, or anchorage preserved.
