Abstract: The analytical method for uniform strength design (U.S.D.) of statically indeterminate beams is extended to deal with a preassigned constraint of non-zero minimum flexural rigidity and multiple load cases. And a numerical method of finding the U.S.D. is presented. Therefore we have a uniform procedure of solution of U.S.D. to beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shape and acted upon by several loadings and subjected to the constraint of minimum flexural rigidity.
