Trang 5Task 2 – Range of structural forms, materials
and range of application
There is no reason at this point to limit range of
application (we can include range outside of
conventional practice and geometries)
“All” parameters will be included in the
database
A large amount of data is available from
several sources (see Task 6 tables)
Additional data can be added

Trang 8Theorem Requirements
forces are in equilibrium
must be ductile
Independent of themodeling assumptions!
No instability or fracture
Trang 9The lower bound theorem is one of the most important
theorems/concepts in
structural engineering.

Task 6 distribution factors will be computed for
one-, two-, three-, etc-lanes loaded This could be
combined, if necessary, later
Research simplified methods will not include m.
Rearch simplified methods will permit one-, two-,
three-, etc-lanes loaded to be computed and
independently applied
The specification can clearly indicate (apriori)
how the number of controlling lanes, i.e., it can be
