Abstract


The concept «robustness» is defined as a measure of the strength against unforeseen loadings. This idea is applied to the optimal separation of the main beams in a horizontal flooring or roofing framework. The great usefulness of the proposed coefficient is evident since it is possible to obtain directly the cost of a structural framework, without need design it in detail. Finally, the «robustness» coefficient is applied to the cost of prestressed concrete bridges.
